iPod or creative Zen

[supersarsfields]

iPod all the way fotr me, I have one and love it, my wee bro had a Zen but now it sits in a drawer in his room as it doesnt get used...

iTunes is simple to use, people sometimes make it out to be worse than it is...

Just get yourself a bit torrent program, install it (I use Bit Comet but there are loads out there, all free I think) then search torrent sites such as the pirate bay, btjunkie.org and download the files via your torrent program. It seems more cmoplicated than it actually is!!

Hi ONL, I'm a bit slow when it comes to the likes of this. So once I've down loaded Bit comet which I've done I have to use the web sites like Pirate bay etc to download? I take it I have to pay and sign up to these sites first tho do I?

Its all free,when you find a torrent you want just click on "download torrent" and it should automatically start downloading with whatever program you have.
I have Utorrent but Im sure the others work in the same way.
The file will then save itself to whatever destination folder it is assigned too on your computer.

Aye with bitcomet they all download to a file called 'Downloads' in you C folder...

I use www.btjunkie.org for my downloading, on it, you do a search for an album or whatever then they will bring up the matches

Beside the name there is a downwards arrow and a plus sign; the downwards arrow starts the download for you, it opens the torrent file, click open on that and it will start downloading via bitcomet...

The plus sign just drops down to show you all the contents of the file...

On btjunkie if you are looking for specific songs, click on file scan which doesnt just search for titles, but the insides of the folders as well...

I've an ipod which no longer "syncs" with the PC. So it will play whatever tunes are on it, it can charge up, but it can't be updated anymore.

When it's connected to the PC, the PC does not recognise it as an external device. Putting it into disk mode etc doesn't do anything. Cable is fine.

I reckon its busted and needs some sort of repair. Is there anyone that will fix up a 4 year old (classic) ipod or is it for the chop?

You did well to get 4 years out of it so far

Could be a problem with the drive lettering.
You need to assign an  i  to the drive in Computer management.

Follow the instructions  given to KK in the latter part of the proper iPod (repair) thread

Could work

Thanks Main street - I'll check the other thread out. The ipod doesn't show up in the computer management tool so I'll have to look into it
