As far as the player goes, it is compact with adequate volume and sharp display.I was even able to use it in my car with a cassette adapter.The earphones are buds and may be uncomfortable if you aren't used to them. You have the choice of purchasing the JumpGear with the 64MB starter memory or purchasing it without memory and ordering the JumpDrive seperately.Even though I got it with the memory I found that 64mb wasn't enough to hold an entire album.The prices on larger capacity JumpDrives are coming down and you can purchase 128mb, 256mb, or 512mb for a better value. The JumpGear MP3 player is one of the best deals around. ... Read more |

The price is very good for a 10GB player!You can also use your Jukebox as a hard drive to store all of your data files.However, the USB 1.1 connection is not fast and takes awhile to transfer songs if you record at a high rate.This means that if you put the songs on the player at CD quality or higher, it takes awhile. It is also quite obvious from the picture that this MP3 player is not small.This is not a good device to use while jogging or doing active things, etc.This player is more for those who have quite a large amount of music and want to carry it with them. So here's the review in brief: The Good: The Bad: Summary: If you like having nice quality music with you and hate bringing your CDs everywhere, this is for you!Especially if you want something inexpensive, yet has a lot of storage.This isn't for the person who looks to enjoy his/her music while active, though (Ocassionaly it freezes while I am mowign the lawn while listening to it).

So what was wrong? First, she never could understand the cryptic menu system. Second the case was horribly made, it cracked in 3 places with fairly delicate handling. Battery problems and other random button problems did not help. If you are reading this review obviously you want advice, so here is mine.... Consider this review a coupon for 100 bucks off an iPod. You will just throw this thing away and buy a real product later so save the 100 bucks to begin with.
1) Price!! (beats the crap out of other HD drive based products) Now the bad things: 1) It freezes often Bottom line: If I could turn back time, I will pay the extra $100 and go for an Ipod. Also I've heard good things about the CHD1000.

We've called Toshiba and gotten pretty good support (a real, English speaking person!!), but nothing they suggested worked.Now I have to pay to mail it back to the company.To be honest, given the cheap door and hard drive mechanisms (I couldn't believe how flimsy these were!), I'm not confident that this will EVER play for any period of time. I might just buy a Rio.
Too Late Toshiba.......Much Too Late.......

8. Apple 10 GB iPod (M8737LL/A, July 2002 Version) by Apple Computer | |

Amazon.com Product Description The iPods setup and interface are still the same: just plug it into your Mac and all your iTunes songs and playlists are automatically downloaded into iPod at blazing FireWire speed--typically 15 seconds or less. Dont forget that the player also doubles as a FireWire drive for applications and other files. This new model also comes with a FireWire port cover to protect the player from dirt and other gunk. In addition to its 10 GB hard drive, iPod has a 32 MB memory cache. The cache is made of solid-state memory, meaning that it has no moving parts, so it's not affected by movement of the device. Skip protection on the iPod works by continually preloading up to 20 minutes of music into the cache. The iPod has a large, high-quality LCD (liquid crystal display) for viewing up to six lines of text. And the LCD features an LED (light-emitting diode) backlight for clear visibility in low-light situations--indoors or outdoors. Pocket-size and just 6.5 ounces, it weighs appreciably less than the stack of CDs it can store music from. Featuring Apple's new iTunes 3 software, the iPod can synchronize with newly added music files and playlists. Simply plug the iPod back into your Mac and the changes are automatically updated in seconds. And with iTunes 3, you can rip MP3s, create playlists, and burn custom CDs all from one simple interface. And thanks to a cool new partnership with audible.com, you can now download audiobooks to the iPod. You can also download your calendar and schedule to the iPod from applications like Entourage, Palm Desktop, and Mac OS X Address Book. Plus, the iPod now has a built-in digital clock. The iPod's rechargeable lithium-polymer battery is charged using the FireWire cable when connected to your Mac. You can also recharge the iPod using the included FireWire cable and AC adapter when you're on the go. The iPod supports MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR (variable bit rate), WAV, and AIFF files, and is firmware upgradable. To use the iPod with your Mac, you'll need a FireWire port and you must be running either Mac OS 9.2.1 (or later) or Mac OS X 10.1 (or later). The unit comes with a wired remote control, revamped earbud-style headphones, a FireWire cable, power adapter, CD-ROM with iTunes 3, and a carrying case with belt clip. It's backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Features Reviews (25)
I have had the ipod for eight months now, and it is still working perfectly well, showning just how durable it is (i have put it through quite a bit). Also, the controls are incredibly easy to learn and understand, even for the technically inept. another thing that I really like about the ipod, other than the sheer quantity of music that it holds, is the size of the screen, as well as the backlight, which is very bright. The large screen makes it wonderfully easy to see all of the information about the song. The final thing that I really love about the ipod is the fact that you canupgrade the software that it uses whenever apple comes out with a new version of the software.
No, it's not a line from Star Trek. Rather, it's the first thing you'll need to do when you unpack your new iPod: throw away the supplied headphones and buy a decent pair. Although Apple says the 'New iPod headphones are smaller in size, with new Neodymium transducer magnets for enhanced bass response, smoother midrange transitions, and accurate high-end reproduction' I personally found them uncomfortable to wear, and, more to the point, poor in sound quality. Good headphones will add immensely to your satisfaction as an iPod owner. Be prepared to buy them! On the plus side, you'll get the hang of using an iPod in about 5 minutes. (It really is possible to use it with just one hand.) And if you have a Mac-iTunes-iPod system set-up, updating your digital music collection is a breeze. (Windows users now have the same ease of use, apparently.) The iPod had a battery life problem which has now been solved, although (I haven't actually timed mine) I doubt you'll get 10 hours playback from a single charge, as claimed. What about the sound? Hardly a minor issue for a music player, after all. Apple's copywriters (a group not, on the whole, given to understatement) claim that '...(the iPod's) high-output (60-mW) amplifier provides CD-quality sound with a wide dynamic range. The result? Deep, pulse-pounding bass and sharp, crystal-clear highs.' Ummmmm...yes and no. The iPod provides a good, balanced sound for most types of music, with clear (not too trebly) highs. Light jazz and acoustic guitar sound pretty good. However, its bass does lack punch to some extent. (The built-in equaliser doesn't really help.) A Sony Minidisc player (or, if you want to step back into the Jurassic analog era, even a Sony Walkman) provides much punchier, crisper sound, but then again, you don't get to carry 2,000 songs with you. Pros: Very ease to use; reliable. Clean interface. Cons: Supplied headphones are a waste of space. Wimpy bass; struggles with some genres of music. Battery not user-replaceable.
I have 123 albums( 1775 songs) on my Ipod with 36.9 MB of space left.If I had a larger music selection I would go for the 20 Gig Ipod. Overall I am very happy with this item ... Read more |

You can transfer 10 gigs in under 15 minutes (note that 10 gigs with a USB connection will take hours upon hours). I often visit friends and download their entire iTunes music library onto the iPod in minutes. You can't, by the way, copy iPod music to a computer - only computer to an iPod, for copyright reasons of course. The iPod has a very intuitive and easy-to-use interface - just 5 buttons and a scroll wheel control the whole thing. I happen to really like the new touch-sensitive scroll wheel. The quickest way to get a feel for the interface is to actually go to the Apple site, where they demo the interface very nicely: ...< My only complaints with the interface is that long song names will be cutoff (except in play mode, where the song title scrolls across the screen) - this makes it sometimes tricky to view items in the iPod by song title. In terms of sound-quality, I now import my CDs at 128kbs (to maximize space)... and on the iPod it sounds fine (no hissing, or problems of any kind that I can notice). The iPod will play very loud, which is an improvement over the old model, I have heard. I listen to my iPod with headphones, in the car (with a audio tape adaptor), and at home connected to our receiver. Again, no complains with volume and sound quality. You might, however, have a number of MP3s that play at different volumes - and this can either startle you or make you think nothing is playing. The "Sound Check" feature of the iPod supposedly addresses this issue - however, it doesn't seem to make to much of a difference in my opinion. Battery life for me has been at about 5 hours (I think)... but I keep the iPod volume very high on the unit when in the car. My only real complaint is with how easily the unit scratches, but really, if you take good care of it, scratches will be minimal.

I run my iPod on a Windows XP based PC.At the time, I had to buy a IEEE 1394 FireWard card for my machine. I was more than glad to add this functionality to my PC because now I can hook up other FireWire devices. At this time the Software used to organize music on the iPod is Musicmatch and not iTunes.Again Musicmatch does a great job for me and I continue to use it. There is no synchronization device with this iPod. Just connect it to your Firewire Cable and the PC and Musicmatch software will recognize it. If your Firewire Card supplies power, you will be able to recharge the iPod as it is connected to your PC. This thing is as Apple advertises. Apple Advertised getting about 1000 songs on it. I have ripped most of my CDs in 128 kbps format and have about 600+ songs on it so far. With still about 2GB of free space, I should just reach the 1000 song plateau.If I went to 160 kbps format for all of my songs, I would probably see a substantial reduction in the amount of songs I would be able to store.The 128 kbps format should be just fine.This device never skips.I take it in my car and to the gym and it never skips. I advise buying a car adapter for about $20 that goes into your cassette deck (the one that portable CD players use works just fine) and then you can have your iPOd in the car. The device itself is a nice looking one.There is a jog dial used to navigate the menus. There are plenty of organizations by playlist, album, song, genre, and artist (much of this is configured on the Musicmatch software automatically when you rip your CDs to mp3). It also contains 'extras' for Calandar, Contact, Clock, and a game.The game is actually a version of the old 'Breakout' game. The menus are in standard LCD gray and there is a backlight that can be turned on to see the menu better if needed.A great set of headphones comes with the iPod.It is the type of headphones you right on the outside of the ear and what is nice is they don't fall out of your ear - plus they sound great.You also get a portable charger that only requires the firewire cable. As for the firewire cable, it comes with one as well as an adapter for 4 pin and 6 pin ports. There are three drawbacks I must point out. The first is the back of the player - it scratches very easily.The back is made of shiny metal and you are going to need to get a a case for it otherwise you will get tons of scratches on that surface.This leads into the second drawback - accessories. No case is going to come with it and of course, like with any accessory - you're going to overpay for them.Be careful when shopping for a case,some of them are cheap leather slipcases and you may overpay. Recently I tried to get a car charger and found one at an Apple Retail Store for $13.00, but remember seeing them in CompUSA for $40.The newer iPods are architected very differently and as a result those accessories won't fit this model of the iPod.I still also advise spending the money for a car adapter (mentioned above) that plugs into your cassette deck. The third drawback is the battery.The battery will give you 10 hours continuous play when you first get it.Slowly but surely, you will see that erode over time.I'd say I'm down to 5 hours right now.Although I said the iPod does the job well, this is the one major drawback I've seen over the life of the device.To replace the battery - it is $99.00 from Apple and this is a job you are going to need them to do. With some of the newer iPod models, I know by next year I am going to face a tough decision on whether or not to replace the battery or upgrade my iPod. Another note on the battery is that if your iPod is idle and uncharged for a few days, the battery will lose some of its charge. The plusses clearly outweigh the minuses here.I would give this 5 stars, but the drawbacks make this more of a 4 1/2 star effort. Don't let the drawbacks deter you, but be aware of them - especially the battery issue if you are buying a used one.If you do get this device, you'll be very happy with it.
1. My original intention was to take it walking and running with earphones.For this it works great.Very small and light; no skipping; simple controls that can be handled without any fuss; and the playlists make it easy to adapt to any mood. 2. At home, I plug it into my stereo to play at high volume.I've found that I never even use the CD player anymore!Again, the flexibility of the playlists are perfect for any situation in which you don't just want to listen to an album straight through -- e.g. hours and hours of party music without changing CD. 3. In the car, I use the iPod with an iRock FM transmitter.It's a little kludgy, but I don't have a cassette so that option is out.Anyhow, the hours and hours of music is much better than my 6-CD changer for any distance driving. I use a Mac at home and work, so I often update the music through the iTunes software, which works seamlessly and intuitively. My only regret now is that I think I need more storage space!So I'll probably upgrading to the 20 Gb version in a year or so...

Here's the part that I find amazing.First: The sound quality is very good and Second: This player has the most wonderful shuttle capability that I've ever seen! Here's how I use it:I immediately removed the 10 gig drive, it's as easy as sliding off the removable cover and then slipping the drive out.I replaced it with a (formatted) 40 gig drive and loaded it to the max.Then, I turned it on and selected "Rand All" with the program button and it sits on my desk, pumping wonderful music into my Bose table radio all day long!I never hear a duplicate, the device never fails and it responds instantly when you press "pause" on the wireless remote (included) should a phone call interrupt my flow. Yes, I have traveled with it; It's been to West Africa and Europe, it's been on countless flights criss-crossing the US and on a plane, driving my Bose noise-cancellation headphones, there's nothing but bliss. It's been retired to my desk because I do carry an iPod now when I travel but sometimes I still take the Roq-It because the display is so big and beautiful, so much bigger than any other MP3 Jukebox out there. So depending on what you need it for, this jewel is "the bomb" if you aren't focused on size or battery life - particularly for the price.It's been dependable but there may not be support since it is discontinued.
I'm giving this device 2 stars because when it was working, it had good sound quality (with separately purchased speakers) and was convenient. Overall, there has got to be a similar mp3 player that is constructed better.I would NOT recommend buying this player. ... Read more |

Amazon.com Review The iPod's 5 GB hard drive holds 100 hours of high-quality music, and it connects to your Mac via superfast FireWire. We were able to transfer a single CD in about 10 seconds and a full hard drive in 10 to 15 minutes. If you lack a built-in FireWire connector, which all new Macs ship with, you can add a FireWire PC Card to most older PowerBooks or a FireWire PCI card to most G3 and G4 towers. Plug the iPod into the FireWire port and the iPod is mounted as a hard drive. The included iTunes 2 software automatically launches and will synchronize your computer's digital audio collection with the iPod. You can also manually manage what files get transferred. The iPod plays the MP3 music format, but it also plays old AIFF and WAV formats. The iPod's 10-hour-plus lithium battery also recharges over the FireWire port. An AC adapter comes with the unit for charging away from a computer. The battery recharges to 80 percent of capacity in about an hour, full capacity in about three hours. The iPod has a 32 MB built-in RAM cache that buffers about 20 minutes of music. This is extremely helpful when you're exercising, and it keeps battery life high. When we've used the iPod on long trips and travel about town, it's been hard to run the battery down at all. The iPod is simply laid out with five buttons and a shuttle wheel. The interface uses hierarchical menus that you select from by rotating the wheel and pressing the selection button in its center. The LCD screen was also large and easy to read, and it has a backlight nearly as powerful as a flashlight. The one slightly vexing interface detail was the lack of an Off button--attributable to the iPod's overall design aesthetic. You won't really need to turn the iPod off, as the unit conserves power when it's not playing. But we did find ourselves using the Hold button often to ensure that we didn't start it playing or stop it playing when transporting the iPod while in use. You can turn it off by simply holding down the play/pause button for a few seconds. Apple includes a set of earphones that we felt compared favorably with listening to high-quality speakers in an acoustically balanced room. Volume control, always an important point, is in tiny increments that can be easily set up and down while music is playing. A startup volume level can be preset as well. A few provisos: the iPod doesn't come with a carrying case, the stainless steel back collects fingerprints like an overzealous FBI agent, and the plastic front can scratch if you're as careless as we are. Also, the unit's initial release has no balance control (left/right), equalization panel, or monaural setting. Apple does plan free software upgrades for the iPod, which may add these features. Considering its range of features and small package, the iPod is definitely a top contender for best Mac add-on. --Charles Kinbote Pros: Cons: Easter Egg: For a special treat, navigate on the main menu to About, then hold down the center select button for a few seconds. Enjoy the game, which is also a tribute to Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak. Features Reviews (85)
The way IPOD integrates with ITunes is amazing. You can enjoy spending time listing to your music rather than time trying to get the hardware and software working. You simply just plug it in and the IPOD moves over all the music in your library to the player, it's that easy. The only thing I wish was made easier is the ability to remove certain music from Itunes without removing it from Ipod. I read of ways to do that but it should be easier for the every day user. My only other negative is the headphones that come with the unit. For a player that cost as much as the Ipod, the quality and fit of the headphones should be better. Of course, you can always upgrade the headphones but after spending for what the Ipod costs who wants to lay out more money. Other than those two small complaints, this is a increadible piece of equipment. To have a rechargable battery that lasts 10 hours is amazing as well.
My second iPod just broke after falling off my bed and hitting the carpet.The first one broke after falling about [a few] feet from my pocket to the kitchen floor. It would seem to me if one was going to design a sleek product meant for active use, one might want to make it durabe enough to survive the inevitable accidents that will occur.Sure apple will replace it, but how many times would you want to return your iPod for a new one? So yes, its a great MP3 player,...
Having hundreds of songs in my pocket makes commuting a pleasure. Love this machine! ... Read more |

With MusicMatch, you can rip MP3s, create playlists, and burn custom CDs all from one simple interface. And thanks to a cool new partnership with audible.com, you can now download audiobooks to the iPod. You can also download your calendar and schedule to the iPod from applications like Outlook and Palm Desktop. Plus, the iPod now has a built-in digital clock. The iPod's rechargeable lithium-polymer battery is charged using the FireWire cable when connected to your PC. You can also recharge the iPod using the included FireWire cable and AC adapter when you're on the go. The iPod supports MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR (variable bit rate), WAV, and AIFF files, and is firmware upgradeable. To use the iPod with your PC, you'll need a FireWire port and you must be running either Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Home or Professional. The unit comes with a wired remote control, revamped earbud-style headphones, a FireWire cable, power adapter, and CD-ROM with MusicMatch. It's backed by a 90-day limited warranty.

Pros: Holds all but the biggest music collections, great quality in sound and product, long battery life, great software Cons: Occasionally crashes For all those people that say by a cheaper mp3 player I used to have the iRiver, and I through it out of my window 1 day because it was so terrible, trust me the ipod is the best designed and for the price you are paying you get more songs.
Pros: Cons:

If you want to do PDA functions on your MP3 player then buy an iPod (or better yet, a Sony Clie).But if you want a compact harddrive player, with the drag-and-drop functionality of an Archos, the IHP 100 is well worth the money.
Cons: price, it's not the cheapest player on the market, but I think you get what you pay for here
As great as this device is, I did have just a few little problems that aren't really big deals. Still, I'll share them anyway. For one thing, even though a USB 2.0 cable is included, if you don't have the USB 2.0 *port,* it won't make a difference. However, that's more of the buyer's problem, not iRiver's, and my little 1.0 is sufficient enough for me. Also, I should have sprung for the 20 GB jukebox - believe me, though 10 GB seems like a lot of space, it really isn't. Especially if you're loading high-quality music with high bitrates. One last thing, the included headphones are kind of dinky and I'll probably have to buy my own pair later. All in all, a five-star product which I recommend to anyone who's looking for a hard-drive based music player. ... Read more |

I own the 20GB. It was the biggest I was aware of when I decided to buy an iPod. Let me assure you--it's more than enough memory. I have mp3's on the thing that have been on there since the day I bought it. I have yet to exaust its capacity yet. In my mind, the 10GB would have been an adequate amount, while 30GB is excessive and unnecessary. 20GB is plenty, folks. The only way I could see 30GB being absolutely necessary is if you're absolutely sure you need 30GB. I admit, if I were buying my iPod again, I would go for 30GB; that's just my nature. But it's completely unnecessary. 20GB is a dream. 5GB leaves you wanting. Enjoy! ... Read more |

Battery life is short...maybe 4 hours using AA rechargeables.The power adapter doesn't seem to charge them very well, so I use an external battery charger.At least it doesn't use a proprietary battery like the iPod.I've dropped the unit a couple of times.The unit shuts itself off, but I was able to turn it back on with no problems. If you need to carry your extensive music collection every where you go, the Nomad Jukebox is a good choice.I absolutely recommend you go to nomadworld.com and upgrade the firmware to 4.1.You will have fewer problems.Also, stay away from the Nomad bloatware.There is a freeware app called "MP3-Library" that works very well with the original Jukebox.If you have a the Jukebox 2 or 3, look into Notmad Explorer (redchairsoftware.com) which allows you to move files to and fro in Windows Explorer.It costs a little, but the software is updated every 2 weeks or so with new features and the updates are free forever.Also check out nomadness.net for underground info on your Nomad. Personally, the volume isn't loud enough to hear over my lawn mower or whatever when doing chores.The Nomad takes a good minute or two to start up which is slower than my computer.I'm constantly rotating in and out the songs I listen to.It takes about as long to copy the files over to Jukebox as it does to burn a CD, so I think I am going back to a MP3 CD solution (Samsung MCD-HM200).It's easier to use and cheaper, so I won't cry when it breaks.
