Uncompatible
This ipod was incompatible with my Mac operating system so I returned it. The seller should state which Mac operating systems these ipods will work with. Overall an unsatisfactory experience.

Why doesn’t it have a “Top 25 most played” option?
or a Recently Added option like other iPods have? And why doesn’t it let you see the details of how large the files are, and what type of song the current song playing is (like a Zen Vision: M has)? The time zone thing doesn’t even give me a close enough (and accurate) city so I can get the right time! v_v

Yes, it’s a nice mp3 player overall, but it was missing some of these things that my Zen Vision: M had and by now, I consider them essentials. It’s rather new so I figured that you’d at least be able to go to another window to see some of what I complained about in the beginning.

Still, the cover flow feature is very nice (although it takes some time to fill in) and iTunes is a great way to use and put music onto your iPod, which is why I got an iPod in the first place to take place of the Zen that can no longer add anything else to it (it’s “broken”).

Just remember that you have to start your player over, by pressing the menu and middle circle button together for a few seconds to restart it while trying to connect it to put content on or charge it or it will freeze.

I’m also gonna say that there is also a problem with cover art showing black sometimes. I don’t buy all of my music “fairly”, so I use methods like coming to amazon for cover art as a detour. It works most of the time but for instance, there’s a total black block in the space where Jesse McCartney’s “Departure” album art should be. I have tried using amazon’s artwork, google’s and possibly yahoo’s but none work!

All in all, if you just want a decent mp3 player, you can put trust in an iPod nano (3rd generation). Is it worth the big 150+ price tag? Not quite but it’s close.

3.7 stars.

end note: And how come in the options there’s a radio option to turn off and on but then you turn it on and in the menu it isn’t there? This may be slicker and smaller, but if I was to be forced to choose, I’d say that the Zen Vision: M is better (by Creative). And as far as the smallness goes, that hurts more than helps because I’ll put it somewhere and forget where it is! Honestly though, I do like the sleek thinness.

The blue iPod nano is a great gift. The person i got it for really liked it.
