iPod?

[orikes]

So... is an iPod worth it?

I've been looking at mp3 players just out of curiosity, considering if I want to get one or not. The price difference between the iPod and other brands that supposedly do the same thing is a rather vast gulf. What's the advantage to having an iPod over the others?

I like Macs. I'd gladly have one at home for art stuff and keep a PC laptop for surfing, games and MU*. So, I have nothing against Macs. I'm just really curious why the iPod seems to be so much more expensive.

I don't know anything about the others, but I know I love my iPod. Oh my god, so easy, for the most part, to set up. And iTunes, hugely addicting, at least to me. The only problem is that if you already have music on your computer, then convert it, you can sometimes end up with two copies of it. One in the iTunes folder, one regular. But this may just be user error.

I ended up with some duped music because I dragged in some music from a folder it had already "seen". But, one of the recent versions of iTunes has a "find duplicate songs" (or something) command... I used that to clean it up!
