It's an issue I've definitely never experienced before with any iPod. When I got to put on a new artist/album/shuffle songs after several hours of using it during the week day, it will immediately say its batter is depleted and no longer work until I charge it with my portable charger, wall charger, or FM modulator charger. Now granted, I uploaded almost 16,000 songs onto this thing immediately, but another issue it has that my new buy never had was that there's a few-second lag between tasks when try to use the scroll wheel for example, I'll put on Shuffle Songs and it will be 7-12 seconds later until I can even use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume, etc.īut the most disconcerting issue of all is the battery life: I understand an older battery may have less capacity, and while my brand new iPod/battery I had 2 years ago could last a good 15 hours of use or more, this one seems to give up around 6-8 hours of near-constant use and often reads that it has a depleted battery when just seconds earlier it said it had almost half battery life yet. The light wear and tear/paint chips are completely negligible and acceptable, but the decent scratch across the screen that I don't think was mentioned in the description was a bummer. So I bought this used iPod knowing I might encounter some issues I wouldn't have if I'd just sprung and bought a brand new one, but I find some issues I'm encountering surprising. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned Control will never be obsolete in my book, however, and this device gives total control to a true music lover in spades. As with all their devices, Apple future-proofs their market by making things obsolete with each generation. Wireless bluetooth would have been the icing on the cake but that was too much to ask from apple then. As an added bonus, you can show your photos on your car display screen from the ipod as well.
I recommend this nugget to anyone who doesnt want to deal with cloud storage or blowing thru your data cap just listening to music.
Sound through my vehicle speakers is great, and if later on I want to watch podcast videos, or any other content I so chose, Ill buy the video c able and replace the one i got now. The screen is vibrant and after formatting the hard drive (which I wholly recommend, even if you are using itunes to re-initialize the whole device later, everything is working fine. Nevertheless, the device is in good shape. Why didnt I buy one when they first came out? Lack of foresight.
Why did apple ever stop making these? I will never know.
I wanted to be able to listen to any / all of my music at all times and the only way to do this effectively was to get myself this little bugger and connect it to my stereo / dvd player. I purchased this ipod to finally scratch the itch I have been having ever since I upgraded the sound system on my truck.
