iRemote Concept for iPod

The receiver doesn’t need a battery but the remote needs it.  What kind of battery it is going to use? I guess it needs a very thin lithium ion battery.  Am I correct?

Windows: MUSICMATCH Jukebox 8 Released

If you like it so much, why use a crack and not pay the measly amount to use it and support the developers???  iTunes may come and may not come, it may suck for all we know and then you would be upset????  It’s a good program for pc users.

Windows: MUSICMATCH Jukebox 8 Released

I got Musicmatch for free with the iPod.  I updated to Musicmatch 8.0 with a crack… do you think I’m actually going to pay for an update key when I know that iTunes will be coming soon.  BTW, I haven’t had any problems with Musicmatch.  It organizes my MP3’s nicely, the synch function is alright, tagging is easy… you have to be a complete morn to s-c-r-e-w that up… and ripping speed are damn fast.  So, I’ve paid $0 as well and I’m very happy!  No need to switch until iTunes comes along!

Original Windows iPods Ineligible For MUSICMATCH Update

I bought my win-iPOD 2 months ago, but had no trouble at all to upgrade my MUSICMATCH version to 8.0 The only thing I can’t stand is that Apple still didn’t release the iPOD-update 1.3 for Windows, although it was anounced for early May.

Netalog TransPod for iPods for $60 shipped

I tried out what I thought was a way-cool-tool, but this device does not send out a strong enough FM signal to be picked up very well by my car radio. When I used my $30 iRock transmitter, which uses a set frequency, it worked much better…sad to say, because I really liked how it mounted and charged my iPod….

15GB iPod $314, 30GB $404 at Dell Home

I picked up a 30GB iPod from Best Buy this past weekend (I wasn’t expecting Dell to get them for a while..) Anyways - when I purchased mine, a friend bought a Creative Zen and used a pricematch from Dell for 10% off.. (Best Buy doesn’t normally do internet price matches). Well, when I saw the Dell discounts today - I printed out the shopping cart with the discounts and free shipping and brought it in to the same sales guy.. He remembered me, and did the pricematch PLUS 10%.. I ended up paying $394 for my 30GB! 

(I sold my 20GB WinPod on ebay last week for $425 - I SAVED money by upgrading!)

Last I knew, you could buy an 4 yr warranty at BBuy even if you didn’t but the iPod there.  I know I did with my iPod last Fall.

Well, the price is great, but as an owner of an out of warranty, dead 5 GB iPod, I really want an extended warranty.  I just bought a 15 GB 3G iPod from BestBuy with a 4 year warranty (+$40).  I hate paying full retail and I hate BestBuy, but I don’t think I can buy an iPod without the extended warranty.

I just tried and the 15 gb came to $359. The 30 gb was something like $454.

How’d you get it so cheap?

Or just snap the Musicmatch CD, throw it away, and use something good like Ephpod instead!

Yes, there is no difference, all new iPod models ship with Mac and PC software included. I have corrected the Dealmac news item.
