Stick with ipodlounge.com I browsed ipod-stuff.com and it is really basic and “recent news” that was reported months ago on ipodlounge.com

Yeh the news will come when people get to use it more often. When people subit news it will be added. We have been working on the layout alot lately.

it’s blue background color makes it hard to read the black text and the navigation is bad too.

and what’s with this stupid intro-page? who needs that?

to sum it all up: ipod-stuff.com sucks.

just what the world needs, another ipod site posting the same “news” as ipodding, ipodlounge, macrumours, etc

ipod-stuff.com, good luck with your endeavors. 

Not trying to be harsh, but you could use some help visually. The site looks kind of cluttered and needs some framing.  The color scheme could use a little more contrast, but I do like the blue! 

Hope you’re okay with a little constructive criticism…

looks like ipod-stuff needs someone to teach them how to be original… just a big ripoff of ipodlounge, down to the sections. why bother starting a site if it’s identical to what someone else is doing?

The website is nothing like iPodlounge.

First of all I know the template is kind of hard to read. The colours will be changing and you will be able to choose a template out of about 10 different ones so that you can select the style you like.

It is not a big rip off of iPodlounge because iPodlounge also uses the same systems as us and most of them are standard PHP features and we will be adding a lot more liek the skin changing, an online iPod chat room and lots more.

We will begin work on adding new skins. Plus the skin at the moment only works with some resolutions so everything will be changing.

If the site isn’t done (which it obviously isn’t, hence you’re making excuses for it), than why is it online and being promoted? Usually it’s smart to finish it first, before releasing it to the world…

what the feck is wrong with you people ... can’t you give the site a chance, somebody is trying to do something constructive and all you can do is shoot it down, you should be ashamed of yourselves ... why don’t you offer a hand of help, offer ideas and artcles, news. Stop beings such negative no hopers and give the guy a break. For fecks sake.

What are you on about ... it’s THIS site that’s copying the rest of the internet. ipoding.com is where it’s REALLY at!

These guys just thought they could make a fast buck from SHITLOADS of gratuitous paid advertising, bordered by this lame ### out of date made up news.

Crap.

iPod-stuff.com has not openned as a source of income. We have other sources of income. There will be a few adverts on the site but they will be put on there to sustain the website and keep it running.

Not sure what you meant by “it’s THIS site that’s copying the rest of the internet. ” but iPod-Stuff.com has tried to be completely unique and will add loads of new features to try and keep this up.

Scott -

The layout really is hard to read - that blue background needs to go - but what bothers me the most is the writing.  Typos, misspellings, loads of comma splices, and other sloppy technical errors detract from what you’re trying to do and give the whole site an unprofessional feel.
