I had no intention of buying one.... today! I guess it was an 'impulse' buy? I don't know what happened... all I know is that I left to go shopping and came back with a 5G 60 gig iPod Video. I just couldn't resist it. It was there in front of me, I got to play with it just a little in the store. It must of said 'buy me now... pleeeeaassee?".. so I gave in.
I even got talked into buying a case with it, which is nothing fancy (just a black silicone case, to match the black iPod), but it looks so nice and comfortable in it
I didn't want my iPod to be homeless.
I've just easily and sucessfully installed Rockbox on it, so I'm copying all my FLACs from my other 2 players on it.
I never thought I would buy an iPod (why? I have 2 perfectly fine players already). I'll use the 60Gig as my excuse for buying it. I doubt I'll use it for videos, well maybe, but who knows. I'm still going to use my other players as well (yep, if you got them you may as well use them).
I quickly loaded a favorite ep to listen to the iPod sound out of the box. Well...it was poor. I'll leave it at that. Even with some KSC75s plugged in..the EQ seetings are pathetic. Rockbox should fix that I hope. I haven't got a pocketdoc/line-out thingy.. yet. I'll make do with the headphone out for now. Most people seem to think the 5G headphone out isn't tooo bad anyway.
I do like the look and it's simple user interface.
I'll post more impressions once I spend some quality time with it. Wish me luck!
