THIS. IS. IPOD!]]>Nov 25th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/
It is sad how many steps I need to go through to get a video I recorded using my Nano onto my computer. Apple is portrayed as making everything easy, I and many of those around here could easily figure it out, but you would think for as much crap as they push into iTunes that is not music related, they would have a "Copy Video To My Computer" option somewhere.]]>Nov 25th 2009 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/"On the Zune, you just load up the software, press..."

You make it seem like the Zune is some sort of example for simplicity.

The real example are the devices that act like regular removable storage (where you don't need ANY additional software), that is: pretty much any PMP or phone that's not from Microsoft or Apple.]]>Nov 25th 2009 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/
At any rate, I would say that aside from the effort of installing it(which is arguable in either direction), it is easier to manage a music collection via the Zune Software than drag and drop through windows. You just don't have to worry about the directory structure or anything else and if you plug in the Zune it just automatically syncs up all your music, without ANY effort. You don't even have to tell it where to find the music since if you add any to any of the designated folders(which you can change/specify yourself) it automatically adds the songs to your library. It makes it much harder outside of windows and you do have to have the software but given that you have windows and the zune software installed, it's far simpler.]]>Nov 25th 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/Well, whatever floats your boat..

I personally prefer to have more control and freedom in using my devices. I can connect my phone as a mass storage to any device that is a USB host. That includes all computers, but also televisions, dedicated video players, car stereos...
And I can still also use software like that of the Zune to make copying/syncing easier or automatic.]]>Nov 25th 2009 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/Nov 25th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/smh @ the amount of steps.

Why it requires anything more than just connecting your device is beyond me.

Can someone please clarify this for me... A band spends countless amounts of time and money to create a decent album then instead of fans buying the album, they download it for free from a "Kazaa" type website to their ipod and the band realizes they got screwed by both the record label and their fans so they break up. Meanwhile the fans complain that its not easy enough to rip the stolen songs from someone elses ipod?

dont get me wrong DRM limits are the dumbest thing I have ever heard of but why should a company make it easy to steal music? I am glad its so hard because if someone stole my iPhone I know they are going to have a ridiculous time trying to get my music off of it... karma.]]>Nov 25th 2009 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/Nov 25th 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/Nov 25th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/Maybe you work for RIAA, or more likely you are just slow, but we are not discussing pirated stuff here, people are simply complaining about how hard it is to get files off the iPod or iPhone.

I like the clickwheel, but i think my favourite is the all-touch 3rd gen iPod. Something cool about having no moving parts. The middle button on my 3rd gen nano is getting unresponsive (I have to press it really hard), but that's probably because of all those solitaire games.]]>Nov 25th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/
Dude, no. I have the 3rd gen, worst ipod ever. May seem like a cool idea in theory, but all-touch means accidental presses all the time, unresponsive presses at others, and not being able to use it without looking at it.

The clickwheel is definitely infamous based on your description. You people really need to quit thinking that spinning your finger in a circle is intuitive to go up and down. Flicking up and down is intuitive, not spinning. The clickwheel + iTunes kept me from ever buying and iPod.]]>Nov 25th 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/how-to-get-music-videos-and-photos-off-your-ipod-iphone/http://arstechnica.com/apple/guides/2009/11/music-library-disaster-rip-songs-from-your-ipod.ars
