Is using a used iPod bad?

Answer 1

Sunnykiwi: heck yes my iPod has never failed me yet. its like my little pocket buddy

jjpjimmy: Compared to the available media players, ipods are the most simple to use thus they are the most technically simplified. Other competing companies are Cowon, Archos, Scandisk, Creative, Microsoft, and many other companies. All of which have innovations that Apple products will never consider or have taken ideas from.

Are they good compared to the other companies? By the end of the day, not at all. Low battery life than the other media players available. Low sound quality, however improved in the newest Ipod nano, Low Sound output power and the mandatory iTunes, although that is avoidable.

If you're considering buying an Ipod then look into other products. However remember that all companies have their ups and DOwns. Cowon, Korea based, for example has a very good reputation for Sound Quality and Battery life along with an extensive list of supported codecs. Yet their User Interface has been very primitive though out their players. It has gotten better with the COWON s9.

As a side note, I had an Ipod Mini 1st gen and 2nd gen which i have rockboxed to get the most out of them, such as being free from iTunes. They were a pain in the ass because even after a battery replacement, it would only operate for a maxiumum 8 hours. And on rockbox, that's nearly a miracle. When i got my Cowon S9, i was blown away at the massive battery life of nearly 3 days of music. Now i can turn on the DSP, Digital sound processor, and take advantage of what they've provided me.

Answer 2

yes and no

yes:- you can spend lots of free time with ipods listening to the music that you you have put up, you can play games that you have downloaded to your ipod via 'itunes' and even watch videos which is a great benifit if you are bored.

no:- there are some negative features and things that can harm you. so listening to loud music for a long period of time can give you an ear ache or something called tinnitus which is a permenant problem to your ear the ipod gives out radiation waves which are bad for you, and the videos you watch are on such a small screen that they do really harm your eyes
