Reviewed by matthew on 09/10/2007i tried to the tapping it on all coners and it is still not working any ideas? Rating:  Reviewed by kim on 22/06/2007 i think you have some useful information on this site. It helps me alot because my ipod just froze today and it wasn't letting me play my songs that i wanted to hear it kept skipping to a diffrent song so thank you for all your help on what you know :] thx, Kimmy *^^* Rating: Reviewed by lil jd on 28/12/2006 my ipod worked with a smack on all conors of the ipod and holding menu and the middle button use it if your ipod frezes.anyone who wants more info write to me ill help now i know everything about ipods if your a girl ill be super happy to help Rating: Reviewed by Liz on 22/10/2006 I'm just writing to inform those who have problems with their ipod on how to fix it. Has your ipod died? Frozen? Thanks to Nicola from the UK, a lot of people on here have managed to fix the problem, and have been very grateful to this woman. THANK YOU Nicola, for you saved my ipod too! So in case you missed her review, I just want to RE-inform what Nicola said. So here's what you do when your ipod dies. Tap it sharply on each corner, and then hold down MENU and the middle button for 11 seconds. The apple will appear on the screen, and everything should be back to normal! The reason for this is apparently because the ipod gets bashed around in your bag, for example. Mine has just shut down twice, but this solution certainly proves very handy for the the time being; I will however advise you to think carefully before you spend loads of money on an ipod, because as you can see, a lot of people have had problems with them and have had bad customer service treatment, and the ipods appear to be unreliable, so beware. I've only had my ipod for about a month, and clearly it is already playing up, as of tonight. And this is already my second ipod because the last one got nicked! Having said all this, the ipod deserves an excellent rating all the same, I absolutely adore mine and don't know what I'd do without it! Is like a part of me! But just look after them guys, and hope that tip helps! Love to all! Liz, 17, UK Rating:  Reviewed by Chris on 13/10/2006 Was prepared to go out and buy a new one as mine had stopped working and not connecting to my computer to update! Nicola I just love you!!!!! A hard whack with my palm on each corner has seemingly sorted it and it's now connected! Rating: Reviewed by Morgan from New Zealand on 12/10/2006 My ipod gave me no trouble up until about 2 months ago, when it started making the whirling and clicking sound and showing a sad ipod! Usually it would come back on, but after 3 days... nothing! Then I took nicola's advice, THANKYOU!!!! It came back on and I was just about to step out the door to buy another one. Rating: Reviewed by Roger on 05/10/2006 My first (brand new) Ipod failed after about six months. Replaced by Apple free of charge - after a bit of a tussle with a call centre (in India, I think). However, the replaement failed after six months. Drive was just turning itself on and off constantly - various failure signs showing at different intervals. Took it to the Apple Store in Bluewater. Very helpful guy on the Genius Bar told me it was an ex-Ipod. Fortunately I didn't have my wallet on me otherwise I was going to get another model. I then found this site and Nicola's advice below. Gave my Ipod a firm tap on each corner and - wheyheeeeeeeeee - its come back to life again. No problems over last couple of weeks! Nicola: your are indeed a genuius. I rang the Ipod store to tell them - they were surprised to say the least. Clearly, the tap on the corner treatment is like having defibliration treatment. Rating: Reviewed by Stanley from US on 30/08/2006 Complete piece of junk. Same problems as everyone else. I'm sure your laughing all the way to the bank Apple. But you can be damn sure I won't buy your products again. I hope it all catches up with you. Rating: Reviewed by Andrew on 25/08/2006 My ipod froze, I thought it needed a new battery but then noticed the drive was trying to start up and then stop. It clicked on and off. Luckily I saw the two previous reviews suggesting a sharp knock at each corner. After two attempts the drive started and is still going after an hour. Fingers crossed it will be ok. Thanks for the tip. Rating: Reviewed by natalie from glasgow, scoltland on 26/07/2006 This is actual chunky rubbish.... I've had mine for about 6 months or so and guess wot....! Only 29 songs are on it because no more are going on it.....also i can't take it back due to it being bought in america !!!!! I can fit a lot more song on my phone than 28 !!!! I'ts outragous !!!! Infact it shouldn't even get a star........ Rating: Reviewed by Harris Coleman on 16/07/2006 This is without doubt the best mp3 player I have ever owned - that's a lot to say since I have previously had: -ipod nano 4gb, 5th gen 30 gb, mini 6gb, audio dream colour etc... I've had this gizmo for 2 years now and the battery's good as new and the sound quality is amazing. A massive thanks to Apple - keep up the good work! ***** Rating: Reviewed by Teryn from New Zealand on 12/07/2006 This ipod (4th generatiopn) is one of the earlier models. It isn't colour. You cannot put photos on it. And you cannot watch music videos. I've had this ipod for about 2 1/2 years, and still the music quality is excellent!! Though, occaisionally my buttons will play up and not work correctly, which is not acceptable, as it costed over $500 when i got it. With an ipod you will probably use itunes which isn't a very prgramm, it's confusing and hard to use, plus a important note: check to see if itunes is avalible in your country! (I worked my way around this problem though, as we don't have itunes here) Another great thing is you can get heaps of great accesories for these ipods, infact all the ipods ;). You can get skins, stereos (Ipod Hi-Fi is awesome! and can fit any ipod), headphone splitters, hard covers, arm bands, FM transmitters, ipod socks, ibeam, voice recorders, podtender (a drink mixing programm (who comes up with this stuff!??)), podgourmet, bibleplayer (yes, its real!) , solar charges, remotes. Plus you can podcast. All in all, it is a good quality mp3 player, which is quite robust (i've dropped it twice and it didn't even mark). There is a chance you may have problems, but the sound is very clear and crisp, plus the menu makes it easy to work. Recommended. Rating: Reviewed by Mike on 12/07/2006 No problems, easy to use and the best sound quality I've ever heard. The iTunes software is also great and easy to use. Would recommend for anyone looking for a brilliant music player.

Rating: Reviewed by Mik Griff on 08/07/2006 First MP3 player. and I have to say its fantastic, been using it daily for months, no problems at all. Great Buy. Rating: Reviewed by Thabo on 24/06/2006 Amazing sound Rating: Reviewed by Sue Shaw on 09/06/2006 IT'S ALIVE!!! omg thank you Nicola from UK, your advise worked. BASH IT ON ALL 4 CORNERS!!! it works. My ipod has had the same problem as everyone elses, after a year and a few months it stopped and started to click and just froze up. I took it to apple who were just blatently rude and told me I had to spend a whole day booking an appointment and going to see them only for them to send it back for a costly repair. My dad read your review and tried it, a sharp knock whilst wrapped in newspaper so it wouldn't damage it, on all courners. Now it works again. THANK YOU. I guess the hard-drive had come off of the spindle or something (very technical :D) and that just put it right. Just to let you know I love my ipod, it goes everywhere with me, and no other mp3 player is as stylish or easy to use, but Apple, your service is shocking and I will be buying nothing else from you again. Rating: Reviewed by Danielle on 02/06/2006 my ipod had frozen and now wont even switch on. im angry because i cant get it replaced or repaired because ive had it over a year. does anyone have any advice on how to help me. Contact Danielle_butler1766@hotmail.com. Thank you. Rating: Reviewed by nige on 30/05/2006 Have used apple computers professionally for years - great products but generally disappointed by the aftersales care. Absolutely loved the my ipod for the first year and a few months, until it started freezing. At first it would respond to the reset command, but then had to do it more frequently. Sure enough, it froze completely and although I have spent hours trying all the suggested fixes I could find online, nothing worked. Took it to local repair centre who said it would need new hard drive, at an exhorbitant cost - almost as much as a new ipod, but it would only have a few months warranty!!!!! In other words apple are telling you to go out and buy a new one. I feel now I'm trapped because all my music on itunes which doesn't seem compatible with other mp3 players and i have a set of expensive Bose speakers which only work with ipods. Before anyone thinks i have been careless or abused my ipod, I must just mention that it was extremely carefully looked after, sparingly u sed never left the house, never banged around and it is in immaculate condition. To say I'm hacked off is an understatement. A quick look on the internet seems to support my thoughts that there are fundamental quality problems with ipods as the same problems crop up over and over again. Apple have been very successful at keeping a lid on it and are happy enough to take your money but have no interest in customer satisfaction. They should either improve quality or improve length of warranty - or make it clear that these expensive products have a pretty limited shelf life. To my mind it's taking money under false pretenses. SHAME ON YOU APPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Jodiephine on 04/05/2006 I have had my iPod since June last year and it has just been sent off for its third repair, it regularly freezes and the battery doesn't last for one day. After the second repair apple sent me a new iPod, but it hasn't even lasted a month!! also i'd like to comment on apple's poor customer service, it took them over a month, and many many frustratingly long phone calls, to deliver it to my address! Rating: Reviewed by Jenna on 21/04/2006 Ive had my ipod since last summer now and during that time it has frozen three times while ive been using it. This problem is very annoying as for it to work again it needs to be plugged into the mains and then hold two buttons down, this is therfore not ideal if you are out for the day and do not have a charger. However this problem is not due to the reason that the battery is low as it says it is full and it was not long chargered. If i had my choice again now i would go for an ipod nano instead. Rating: Reviewed by Joe on 12/04/2006 its brilliant no problams good music loads loads of songs luv it really cool Rating: Reviewed by Nicola from UK on 11/04/2006 I am currently on my 5th ipod that i have had replaced as the others have died. As many others have realised they are extremely temperamental!! If you carry them round in your bag and they get bashed around a bit they start to make a whiring and clicking sound, displaying a folder with an exclaimation mark on the screen. As this has happened to me numerous times, i have realised that all you out there with no insurance, there is hope!! By giving the ipod a sharp tap on each side and resetting, (menu and centre for 11 seconds) it should come back on! ipods are a brilliant idea and i couldnt live without mine, but you would think considering the price u have to pay, apple would try to fix this problem! Rating: Reviewed by James on 03/04/2006 GR8! Never had any problem with it i have had it for 2and a half years and its still gr8. anyone who says otherwise is stupid. best thing i have ever bought Rating: Reviewed by sophie on 26/03/2006 absolute rubbish i got mine 2 years ago since then i have have 4 new ones and the have all been new the one i have now is also broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-( Rating: Reviewed by JasonJ from Ireland on 22/03/2006 Excellent Memory. Looks decent. Easy to use. HOWEVER!! It's really bulky for an MP3 player and small devices are the way to go these days. So I would reccomend the Nano for a small MP3 player. Dont be put off by my review, though, because this Ipod is still really really good just too large, in my opinion! Rating: Reviewed by Mike from USA on 21/03/2006 Absolute piece of junk! I never like Apple to begin with, but i gave them a shot. I bought a 20Gb 4G for my girlfriend...1 year later..it dies. i also bought one for myself at the same time. guessswhat? it died. good thing it was under warranty, so they gave me a new one same model. guess what??? IT DIED!. this article is trash completely the author has no idea what a piece of junk this is and now im out about 500 bucks. oh yea, and now im stuck with the Bose ipod speaker because its made only for Apple. what does apple do about it??? NOTHING! unacceptable. i hoope the whole company gets hit with a bomb! Rating: Reviewed by Sam Wyatt from Canada on 12/03/2006 Absolute junk! If you bought a radio and after a couple months stopped working, you would send it back for warrantee repair and after that it should pretty much work for another 20yrs. The Ipod 20GB is faulty from the get go. Mine has already crashed twice and has spent more time with apple than it has playing songs for me. Now I am beyond the warrantee period and it will cost as much to repair as to buy a new one... Are you #$%@ing kidding!? Never again and I hope the Canadian competition bureau claps down on these guys. Rating: Reviewed by Mick on 01/03/2006 This is rubbish. I had a Apple iPod 20GB and i had no end of trouble with it. Damn you to hell! Sicnce then I brought a Creative Zen Micro and they are grate. Rating: Reviewed by Andy Squire on 27/02/2006 I have never read such nonsense on a review board. This product is inspiring and intuitive. It seems that everyone who has had a bad experience with an iPod have come out of the woodwork to make a noise. Please don't make the mistake of failing to own one because of them. I would imagine they didn't look after their iPod and so wonder why it doesn't perform as expected. If you look after the equipment, the equipment will look after you. The first iPod I bought was in 2002 (2nd gen) and the battery is still fine on it. I have upgraded since but it is still going.

STEP 2: Click import. geez, that was really difficult. Rating: Reviewed by Katie from USA on 15/02/2006 I've been through 2 ipods in the past year and a half. The first one was the 3rd generation. I got it because my cousin had one. Well he intentionally cut a wire inside the ipod to get the new 4th generation for free because he was still on the warrenty. I was still on my warrenty too so i did the same thing and got the 4th generation for free (before that I dropped my ipod the front face shifted over and it was uneven). Now that the 5th generation is out and im not on the warrenty i plan on selling my 4th geneartion and get a new one. The problems i had with my 4th is it was slow to change songs and once there was no music on it and i had to put the all back on which was annoying. My friend has said his screen freezed and he had to get a new one. Besides this their awesome! Rating: Reviewed by Morven on 07/02/2006 Thought this was wonderful when I bought it in August 2004 for £220 UK pounds - after 11 months it failed, one month inside its warranty period. The screen showed it flipping constantly from track to track and no sound. It had frozen in some odd way. Apple collected it and delivered the replacement. Nice service, huh? Only no .... The replacement did exactly the same thing 3 months later. Took it to the Apple shop on Regent St London where they diagnosed heart-failure, would not honour a year's warranty applying to the replacement product [which apparently only had a three month warranty just expired] and claimed that the PURCHASE is warranted, not the PRODUCT. And now they want £169.00 [yes, folks, you can buy a new one for £179.00] to repair it. So I'm afraid that what Apple have produced is a DISPOSABLE SHORT-LIFE PRODUCT, hoping that when you are hooked you will replace it at any price. Not me. Stuff it, Apple. You are rob-dogs. Remember IBM pc's? Dominated production, controlled the market, then had some competition, and now don't make their rubbish pc's any more? Watch this space ... Apple, your fans do not like being manipulated or abused. Rating: Reviewed by Nathan Clough on 06/02/2006 This is an overhyped, mass produced, over priced piece of engineering. The battery seriosly goes down (And I did give it's full initial charge) and the hard drive messes up all of the time (Gives me errors and won't work, have to format it to give it some chance of resusitation. I've had it for 7 months now, it's still on it's one year warranty so I'll send it to get fixed. This mp3 player is little more than just an mp3 player - No extras, well, just games and they're the sort of games you'll get in the 'Snake 2' days. Plus, any extras you do buy cost way too much. I'd avoid buying one of these if I was you, I sure regret it £250 worse off!! I would recommend a Creative mp3 player, NOT an iRiver tho. ;) Hope I've helped change you mind about Apple!! :) Rating: Reviewed by michael from usa on 24/01/2006 this is simply the best mp3 player there is. it has great storage, great sound quality, good battery life and isn't the typical clunky, geeky, mp3 player we are used to. i have heard many people say "my ipod has died on me after a year!" i have had no problems with my ipod suddenly not working. i have had it since feb. 2005 and love it. BUT if u aren't a serious music lover go with the mini. most people wont actually listen to 5000 songs. but if u have lots of cds to put on ur pod the go with teh 20 gb. It is very durable and im not sure why they have even added the "on the go" playlist. when playing a song from a regular playlist i can toss my ipod, spin it, and run with it and it hasn't skipped yet. the ipod is unbeatable. Rating: Reviewed by Mark Smith on 20/01/2006 A great MP3 player all in all, and i'm really pleased i got one. However, there are a few drawbacks. 1. The back of the Ipod get so scratched so easily its untrue. A case is a must! Haven't had it a year yet so cant comment about the mentioned battery failure. Another annoyance is iTunes... i find it incredibly irritating and non-user-friendly, and i'm an experienced computer user. Adding and removing music is fine once you get the hang of it... but to start with its incredibly difficult. But all of this is definitely outweighed by how amazing the actaul Ipod is! I love the fact that i can create a playlist for the gym or in the car in minutes. My friend has a Packard Bell Mp3, and he was amazed when i showed him how easy it is. Other great features include album art, which i think looks great. However, if you get one, for goodness sake buy a set of Sony or equivalent headphones. The supplied ones are good for about a week, and then they either break or produce poor quality sound. After speaking to other Ipod owners, everyone seems to agree that they are poor. Overall, buy one. The advantages outweigh the annoyances by miles.

My ipod was sent back to apple twice because of the poor battery and other things. Most of my mates have one and just about every one is having the same problems as i did. I would say your ipod won't last more than a year. Durability doesnt seem to be apple's main priority... looks and amount of music seems to be where they make their money.

The sound quality is excellent and the memory capacity is BRILL! (5000 songs.) My friend has had lots of problems with hers and had to send it back lots of times. But mine's been completely fine. At first i thought that even max volume was too quiet but i changed that by turning off sound-check on settings. The reasons i only gave it 4 stars is because of its sheer size and bulkiness especially with an iSkin. and also because when i first got it and hadn't got and iSkin, i kept my iPod in a fluffy sock and it still managed to get scratched! so thats a bit annoying. Also the range of iSkins available for the 20 gig is not that great and i found it very hard to find the pink one i have now. Generally, im still very pleased with it. And although i got it nearly 8 months ago, the novelty still hasn't worn off!! i'd deffinetly reccomend if your'e not that into music than you should get a mini as its way more attractive and still holds 1000 songs. Rating: Reviewed by Hattie on 26/10/2005 Ok, the I-Pod has very clear sound, it's got a huge memory and is quite alot of fun to play about with, however, my friend has one and she has had to replace it quite a few times, this is stupid considering how much money you spend on one of these. I have an I-Pod mini and that has the same, clear sound as the I-Pod does and it hasn't yet broken or had a fault. Ok, so the I-Pod mini can't store photo's or as many songs as the I-Pod, but it's far more reliable! GET AN I-POD MINI! :) Rating: Reviewed by Darla on 25/10/2005 They're great but Apple really need to sort out the battery life. Lucky to get 6 hours on it and it runs down very quickly even when its not being played. I'm now waiting for the Nano to improve its battery life then I'll get one of those instead! Rating: Reviewed by Elsie on 24/10/2005 When I first bought my iPod I was so pleased with it, it was definetly worth the price. But then things started going downhill- After about a month, when i had had a couple of 1000 songs on there,I charged it up before I went on holiday. Got in the taxi for the airport and turned it on- all the songs had disappeared just randomly. I was so annoyed. When I had put all my song eventually back on to it, I started noticing different problems. The more songs you put on it, the slower the iPod works, the battery hardly lasts long enough ifs you're going on a long journey,and playing certain songs makes the battery cut out. My click wheel has also got really stiff for some reason and to be honest, the iPod is too big! My boyfriend has just bought the iPod Nano and it is just so much sleeker and cooler.He hasn't had any problems with it and i can't wait to get shot of my clunky, irritating iPod and move on to the Nano.

If i was going to buy an mp3 player then to behonest i feel the best one out at the moment is the creative zen touch, much more value for money and allround much better mp3, have nothing bad to say bout the creative unlike i-pod, for example, it sometimes freezez or moves slowly to commands,dont buy one, buy a creative zen touch instead, youll see why wen you do.

Rating: Reviewed by Geoff on 20/08/2005 The ipod is a must get, It is easy to use and easy to put songs on from the computer, it has games, a clock, a light and loads more. The quality of the sound is superb but if you want something smaller and cheaper than i recommend the ipod mini, it doesnt hold as much songs but it holds 1000 or more (depending where you get it from). Get one, its worth it. Rating: Reviewed by amit on 18/08/2005 recently bought the h310 iriver which was good, but didnt have the touch sensitive scrolling button that the Ipod has. So the more music I was putting on the longer it would take to scroll to whatever music I wanted to listen to. This started to really annoy me so I sold it and I bought the new photo Ipod. Yes the menu system is brilliant to get around and with such ease BUT the sound is terrible. The iriver was soo much better and you could mess around with the equaliser to get perfect sound wheras the Ipod is RUBBISH. It can't handlle the base. Definelty looking for something new in the market now as I'm extremely dissapointed with the Ipod considering all the hype that surrounds it.

I don't know if you are using PC or Mac iTunes, but on the Mac version you can easily add/change details using Get Info. If the PC version doesn't have Get Info, try Properties. Rating: Reviewed by Bohin on 30/07/2005 This is an amazin mp3 player, its small and light so its easy to carry around. Its really easy to use and I had hardly any problems with it. However I only gave it 4 stars because of the disappointing battery life, its supposed to last 8 hours but will get to about 6 on a low volume, as the louder you have it the faster t loses battery power. HINT: Remember to always keep your itunes up to date and download new versions when propmted, as this well definitely help the ipod work FASTER and BETTER!!

Rating: Reviewed by Steven from USA on 17/07/2005 The software is the biggest problem with this player. You can not manual write in Artists names, album names etc. If you have old cd's you can not do this. Artist that are not in there data base can not be put in.There is no way you can text in these names etc. If you can the manual does not tell you how to do this. Is there better software? I would like to know. the demo sound good.

I have had my ipod for months and it is the most reliable mp3 ive ever had. I have dropped it, and sat on it and even dropped it in the sink (unintentionally) and it still works. When a friend of mines went wrong, apple replaced it and gave her a shiny new one for free! :) I couldn't live without my ipod. Rating: Reviewed by Tom Bowes on 10/07/2005 The original iPod was really good, but each time a new one comes out it is much better than the old one. A few people have complained about the sound quality, but they probably didn't know that there computer is probably just set to copy CDs at a low quality! The touch wheel makes scrolling through thousands of songs so much quicker and easier than repeatedly pressing a down button. There is nothing wrong with the iPod, and it comes with the worlds best music software, iTunes. If you want the worlds best MP3 player buy this, or if you have less music buy an iPod mini which is equally great.

Every time either something has broken or gone wrong with it for example it just poacks up and stops working or sometimes the songs dont play or the headphone port has broken etc. I highly reccomend considering a different MP3 before buying this, or maybe a mini because they seem so much more sturdy and reliable.

The sound from the headphones was a little shaky/tinny at higher volume, but you don't really need it that loud anyway.. The ease-of-use was a real big factor in how much I liked this. Then I got the !Folder error (look on Apple's website).. I sent the iPod back, which cost me Nothing, Apple sent a pre-paid box, and off it went... A week later, I have a brand-new iPod, still with protective coverings etc and it works a dream! I strongly recommend this mp3 player, and if it does break, Apples service is excellent. Small Note: If sound quality is what you are after, Sennheiser headphones improve it loads. Rating: Reviewed by Alex on 31/05/2005 I love my ipod so much. People that complain about it being slow, I have 5573 songs on my mine and it runs like a dream. Also people that complain about downloads being too expensive, you don't have to download songs from itunes you pleb! My mate has a Creative Zen and has had it replaced 4 times because it keeps breaking. It's also massive and clunky and extremely hard to use in comparison with the ipod. People only slag it off because they're bitter that Apple actually have the best product on the market.

It costs a little more, but who ever regretted investing in Quality?!! Simply, you're missing out if you don't have one. Rating: Reviewed by ipod hater on 23/05/2005 at first when i got my ipod for christmas it was great, all the memory and functions were outstanding. evrythiing worked perfectly well...and then the problems began. since around march(3months after purchase) i'va had nothing but hassle from my ipod. the first problem was the speed, i had around 500 songs on it (it claims to hold 5000 min) and already it was going at snail pace. Then it go to the point where only 50 songs would play, then about a week later none of them worked! i frequently updated my ipod but no luck came from it, i tried every troubleshooter point with again, no luck. now my ipod in may(not even 6 months after i got it) is a useless chunk of plastic dat just clicks now and again. it wont switch on, charge or respond to anything i do. All i can see is the apple (which has become very tiring) which after around ten minutes of franically trying to get it to do anything changes to a file with an '!' beside it. finally i have decided enough is enough only to di scover to return my ipod i have 2 pay a fee!!! so after recieving this £300 gift i have discovered it is nothing. so if u have any sense dnt buy one. i luv my ipod...not!

Rating: Reviewed by reviewer on 14/05/2005 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! this is perfict, its small (compared to 30gb, 40gb and 60gb.), up to 5000 songs, 12 hour battery life etc etc... 20gb is enough, i mean 5000 songs... thats at least 20,000 mins of songs, 333 hours of songs, or a fortnight of continous play! you dont need any more than 20gb. 12 hours of battery life is all you need, its very unlikely you wouldl listen to ipod for more than 12 hours, when your finnished, you can charge it overnight without worrying of over charging. excellent quality sound etc etc. even bettern than ipod photo, i mean, ipod is ment for music, not for pic gallary or what ever, well thats in my oppinion, but i personally dont think theres any use for ipod photo. If your ipod breaks down, batteries been used up completely etc (does not include liquid damage or if u drop it frong extreme hights), they WILL repair it, well where i come from they do... cause my ipod one day stopped working, sent it to da place where i bought it from (noel leemings) and one week later was repaired. comes with a 1 year warrantee sorry about my spelling, just in a bit of a rush here, but anyways... this is a Very good buy and i recomend you to get ipod 20gp 4th generation if you are planning on buying a music player.

REALLY GOOD MP3.. would suggest strongly to get this. look no further the ipod 20gb is the best!! Rating: Reviewed by Ivo from TheNetherlands on 06/05/2005 I started a couple of years ago with, then the newest, MP3 player, it had a 20gig hd and it was a Creative Jukebox 2 (for that time 2002 it was the best mp3 player money could buy I paid around 400 guilders for it then (that's about 190 euro's)). Unfortunately de hd broke down after 1,5 years of usage. The player was well insured and I bought another player. I had to choose between the iPod and the iRiver. Both players have a 20gig hd. I knew what I wanted in a player because I owned one earlier and had made my mind up before looking for another one. Everybody says iPod is the smallest player and I can't say that they are wrong, but when I compare the two players (my brother has a iPod) they don't differ that much. de iRiver is sleaker but just one or two mm thicker than an iPod. But here come the differences: iRiver has a build in microphone (great for making practical jokes, or recording classes); iRiver has more Ram memory, works quicker, has optical and line in/out + head phones connector. iRiver has a remote control with clear screen. And last but not least the "joy-stick" on the iRiver performs way better than the "touchpad" of the iPod. One thing that's very handy for people who don't use their mp3 player just for music, when connected to a computer the iRiver is seen as a removable HD, when running WindowsXP you don't even have to install a driver, and you can put all sorts of data on it not just music, this is a big difference with the iPod. Packaging is also a big difference. Well I don't know exactly if they have changed anything but when I had to choose (around summer 2004) iRiver had the most extra's plus outperformed de iPod on battery life. It has a 16 hour playback time, when using radio even longer, and a 8 hour realtime mp3- or wav- recording capability. When I bought my player it was around 400 euro's (that's a lot, more than my stereoset) but it still was 60 euro's cheaper than the iPod. One thing I have to say that's very good about the iPod the white body and the silver backside it's very neat!!!! (but heavy). My player has a goldisch color whits aluminium sides and silver buttons, but I don't see the color that often sinds I always have it in the carrying case (that's one thing I've learned from my first player :D) I guess what I'm saying is, don't just look for looks of the player but really focus on what can the player do! If you can make the smallest player in the universe but all you can do is listen to music or you can make a slightly bigger player that can record as well, I know what I would choose and have chosen :D Rating: Reviewed by Emma from Wales on 27/04/2005 I bought this Ipod a few months ago and am really pleased I bought it as it holds loads of songs. I've got about 1300 now and still got 16GB left! I Paid £240.00 for it and have been told by friends that it is now quite a bit cheaper, but to me it was £240.00 well spent! Would recommend to all!

Sound quality is great and 20gbs is likely more than I'll ever need. It's also good for storing data (I've stored some backup files on it), plus the extra options (games,calender,contacts,backlight) are nice. However, get a battery replacement plan if you listen to music a lot, because the battery doesn't last that long. Also, the earphones are okay, but aren't great, although they are pretty durable.

All those long band names scrooooooooollllllll off the end and you then have to either abbreviate or memorize the order. The capacity is 5000 songs x 4 minutes = 20000 minutes 20000 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 333.33 hours OR roughly 14 days! The 40GB then holds 28 days! Yeah, so basically you can listen to this one for 2 whole weeks on shuffle without repeating a single song - amazing!

Plus it scratches really easily and u should be able to download games from ure computer onto it directly. Plus it would be nice if they include a simple cable for u 2 be able to plug it in to CD players etc. I think it is a little over rated.
