I recently got a 30gb apple I pod from the u.s for Rs.12, 000...i must say the sound quality is like no other. I think it has got the best sound quality..it is really worth the price it can holdApprox.7500songs but the video clarity is not so good..and it is very tough to convert the videos to the required format and it takes a very long time to convert...sometimes the video gets converted ant the sound does not come.
And another annoying thing is about the I tunes..it is a long process to download itself, the company does not give you the cd , you have to download it from the net and if you dont have broadband it takes about 4 to 5hours..unlike the other mp3 players...and you have to play the song in ur I tunes first and then olug in ur I pod where it sends the songs into ur I pod.
Unlike other mp3 players where u have to just copy and paste... And also tne company says it can be used for 16 hours without charging but it plays only for about 6to7 hoursand also the accessories are costly if you go for the original ones.So if u are looking for a heavy capacity mp3 player then go for apple ..if u want somethint like the shuffle then it is better if u go for a creative zen
