Ipod's

[GTi Andy]

Think i already know the answer to this but wanna confirm...

If i were to buy an Ipod could i put the tunes i have on my pc onto it or does it only accept tunes downloaded from Itunes?

yep it will accept all music, just have to import it into the itunes library :)

[GTi Andy]

Thought so, cheers mate.

Which is the best Ipod to go for then. Purely want it for music.

Also how much are Itrips???

the ipod nano 4gb i got for about 120 i think, a few months back, i got it connected to my pioneer stereo with the proper box thingy ya can buy, highly recommended, saves burning cds all the time :D

i-Trips give crap sound quality mate, really wouldn't recommend one unless you don't mind about that sort of thing

Not 100% sure what the current range of i-Pods are like, but I'm pretty sure unless you go for the basic i-Pod shuffle then you're gonna get more than just music playing capabilities. The most basic one with a screen (which you'll find you'll need, I went from a shuffle to a nano and I don't know how I coped with the shuffle's lack of screen!) is the nano 4gb.

Here's a link to the i-Pod website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/)

Hope that helps :)

the new version nanos look pretty darn nice, they come with video playback as well, unlike my version of the nano :(

Get the new iPod Nano Video Andy.. Im gunna be getting myself one.. Currently have the older style Nano in black, hooked up to the Head Unit.. Really handy item.. Always have it with me.. :)

All tunes on your laptop simply get copied & dragged into the iTunes library.. Sorted. :D

[GTi Andy]

So how can i connect it to my cars headunit without using an Itrip??

Doubt i would need video playback but if thats what it comes with fair enough :)
Do they have a radio on them??

I'm an Ipod virgin as you can tell

the 2nd gen nanos are pretty beasty, the new ones i dunno but you dont really need a 1.5" or what ever it is screen on ipod in your car which you cant use...

Mine has a iPod connection on the head unit.. A wire from the head unit, under the dash, then into the centre console.. :)

Nah, dont have a radio mate..

[GTi Andy]

Doubt my headunit has that, its 3/4 years old :p Plus don't wanna get it out, was such a pain getting it in!!! haha

What does the wire plug into on the headunit Steve??

[Steve Saunders]

Your head unit has to be iPod compatible mate... There is a connection on the back of my head unit... I then bought a Alpine iPod wire connection, so the iPod could be connected.. :)

All available from Car Audio Direct.. :)

[GTi Andy]

Doubt mine would have a connection, don't think Ipods were invented when it was made... :(

Itrip it is then...

Better sound quality, better battery life, better price, better video quality, better customer service, plays any format, no music restrictions, list goes on! :)

[GTi Andy]

[rich106quiksilver]

I use mine in the car using a phono cable through to the aux socket.
