well duh. I know that. Point is, all sites have a buy as you wish system. You said that they don't. Just check your facts. The only non iPod site is napster the rest you can burn to CD, and even with napster and rip them to iTunes. My g/f does this with her music she downlaods on her iPod mini.

@Havelock Vetinari, Why do you hate iPods so much?

Oh, and yes i saw about apple having to pay up to creative, but to be honest, how else could they have organised the music? Its the only logical way (unless you have a better idea?).

Why does it bother you so much that i dislike iPods? Yes I do, mainly because so many people only buy them as they are 'cool & hip'. There are better players out there, but Apple just happen to have done their marketing better.
Actually I came close to getting one late last year, but only because I need a bigger player as my 20GB was too small. But read the reviews between the iPod video and the Zen M and the M came out winner by a mile

If one could play downloaded itunes music on any media player than I don't think that I too would consider an ipod. I do think there are better players out there, better built and at a better price. However, the fact remains that Apple have consumers over a barrel, (a very large Apple barrel) when it comes to DRM on their music, so if you want itunes you've basically got to have the ipod.

There are other players and an awful lot of them are far better than iPod the only thing going for the iPod is the click wheel. Heck they even stole the way of using the find songs from creative. Do your research before you buy anything Faust, don't believe the Pod lovers, they are seriously biased. I done mine and decided on my Zen M, but it wasn't always first choice, reviews and peoples opinions help.”

I think you'll find IPods are generally considered the best, there are other players availabler sure, but they're really just cheaper rip-offs of the Ipod, sure if you can't afford an IPod get a creative or Zen M, but I personally think you'll always envy the IPod and want one. Your choice, it's often better to spend that bit more and get the best I feel though.

PMSL. Yeah sure. Get a grip. So ALL MP3 players other than iPods are rip offs?. Hmm ok if you say so Look at the prices, they are almost identical I looked at the Zen M and video iPod both were on sale at £165, I looked at the reviews and the Zen came out a LOT better. So that makes it a rip off because it beat your darling iPod..... ahhh didums.
As for envy the iPod. NOT in a million years. After all Apple are bunch of thieves anyway so why should I envy them? I think you need to take your love of iPods of that pedastal and start reading reviews of other players when they compare them to iPods more often than not, the iPod loses out. It's just the chav mentality and sheep factor that keeps the iPod better off sales wises.

You are very ignorant and mis-informed, I think you'll find the Ipod IS considered the best, read Stuff magazine look at their MP3 chart, IPod has been at the top for years, read T3 the same... which MP3 was the only one to sell out every year at xmas?

I think you're in denial and will probably end up regretting not buying an IPOD when your cheapo player breaks.

Are you just as ignorant? I think so. I and many other people consider iPods s**t. Just because all the chavs and muppets buy them because they are cool and vogue doesn't make them the best, does it? Who cares if it sells out every year? It only does because all the brain-dead teens have to have ipods or they are not cool. Any as for others being cheapo. I said, the iPod video and the Zen M were the SAME, yes SAME price So how does that make it cheapo? Must apply to your c****y iPod as well.
At least I don't get tied to iTunes for my music like all iPod lovers and there nasty DRM. As for your pathetic remark I'm in denial and will regret buying an iPod are you not capable of reading my posts correctly? I said, but I'll repeat again for you. I read the reviews for the iPod video and Zen M and the Zen M came out tops so I buy it. Why would any idiot buy the lesser player?
I think you need to get a life, iPods are NOT the be all and end all of everything. Read independant reviews against others, they don't always come out top. Just happens their marketing is better and sheep and chavs buy iPods.

I recently bought an I-pod Nano 8gb.

I read all the reviews, tried several players, and still bought the I-pod.

Not because I am Chavvy in the least, or that I fell for the Apple marketing.

I bought it because I liked it the best out of all the players at that price.
It is small, light, has enough memory for me and looks really nice.

I had loads of Mp3s which I moved into I-tunes very easily.

My wife has one as well now, and neither of us own anything at all with Burberry check on it, and I have never even been in Argos to buy jewellery.
