iPods
1 Answers
I need some general info, so links to decent info websites would suffice.
Basically, I want an iPod for Christmas, so that I can play all my fave music etc when I'm out and about. But I don't know the first thing about them - what's good, bad or whatever. What should I look for? Will my PC need any special 'converter' software?
Also, these 'podcasts'? Do you need anything special to be able to download them?
Compatibility? Do you have to have a Mac to run an Apple iPod? I run Windows XP home edition.
Finally, is there some sort of device you can get in order to be able to run them from a car stereo (I don't have a CD player in the car, just a decent cassette radio)? I remember I once had an adapter for the diskman that played through the cassette slot, but it wasn't very good, 'cause the CDs kept 'skating'.
Any advice welcome.
