LaCosaNostra Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 What do you mean, how long does it acutally last... they say 8 hours but I figure it's more like 6? If you have aim, get at me: *************. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azert Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I hate my damn Ipod. The battery is worth shit, if they'd make it so you could use AA or AAA batteries then I'd be much more happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery is worth shit, if they'd make it so you could use AA or AAA batteries then I'd be much more happy with it. I love mine, but i will agree the batteries blow. I get 4 hours max and thats with barely any messing around with it. Also, you can make a battery hookup for it that'll use 8 aa batteries and run for a good 20+ hours for those long trips and shit like that. I have one, but i don't remember where i found how to make it. Try googling it or something. Also, if you're looking to buy an ipod, i suggest looking at other products first, i love my ipod but i know people who have irivers and say they're just as good but with better battery life and the capability to record things.

LaCosaNostra Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Yea, I have friends who have various other MP3 players that all seem to have various other things wrong with them... Most said if they could do it over, they'd get an iPod. Any solutions as to the battery dilema? I'm gonna look up how to jerry- rig the shit with the AA batts.

CrazyLazy Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Originally posted by yeaaaah baby i only have trouble with its battery life. keep that charger handy If you're going on a trip, or don't mind carrying around the bulky add-on, then get the Belkin external AA battery case. It adds like 10 hours, or something crazy like that. And if you're cool like me, you'll get the awesome Camel tweed case...http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/584/store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/t7446lla_125.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I don't know what y'all are talking about with the battery life, mine lasts a couple days without recharging. Definitely install itunes. I don't know if it still comes with that incredibly awful musicmatch software for windows, but itunes beats its ass. Tips to extend battery life: 1. Turn backlight off or turn the timer to 2 seconds. 2. Use the on-the-go playlisting. It queues up the songs you want to listen to so it doesn't have to spin the hard drive (main power drain) for every new song. The rechargable battery was probably the biggest selling point for me. I hate having to keep replacing AA batteries in things, the ipod has probably saved me at least $50 in batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyLazy Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 yeah well, the only thing that i miss about my mini-disk player, is the 50-something hours of play with a single AA battery. but the iPod is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeaaaah baby Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 i used to use the on the go play list but every time you hook the ipod up to computer you lose that playlist. as soon as i plug my ipod into the computer the on the go list vanishes. do you have that same problem?

LaCosaNostra Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 I read about how to charge with 8 AA batteries, here's the link. http://users.adelphia.net/~evansa/iPodCharger.html They it pre- buit for 40$ but they aren't taking orders. Also, you won't catch me paying 40$ for something that I can build my self when parts cost ~10$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyLazy Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I was talking about the Belkin one on the apple website. I was just reading about it and it says it lasts for 12 hours. But it's probably more like 10. And I think it's more than $40. But, hey, when you're on a flight across seas and you need your music. Or you forget to charge the iPod. It comes in handy.

LaCosaNostra Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Uhhhh,I was linking to the least expensive one, as long as it works[i don't acutally know if it does, but it looks promising]I don't care if it's offical. I guess this thread has turned into an iPod FAQ/help thread... that's cool. :eek: http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Wegetscrunked/itunes.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Broke Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 i do love my iPod, im to the point where if i dident have it i might have to kill myself because i dont have the money to get a new one. but i got a 20gb one about a year ago and it is still kickin! iTunes is a must. and the things with having your playlist deleted... just make a play list on iTunes and then save it to the iPod and it will stay with u 4 ever...
