43 Things: Get an iPod

Black video iPod - click for 43 Things goal 'Get an iPod' 4 stars Pretty good player, sad no WMA DRM capability and iTunes is annoying I've had a lot of problems with iTunes on my PC, which is annoying. But I do like some of its features like Smart Playlists. The iPod itself is a nice little player (it's an iPod video 60 GB). The things I like least about it are that it can't play Windows Media Player files and if the WMAs have DRM then there is no legal awy to even convert them so they'll play on the iPod. This means that the digital audio books available from most sources other than iTunes won't work for me without extra work and questionable conversions. :-( Its other weakness: charging only from the PC. It is lame that they don't include an AC charger anymore. Now you have to use a computer that is turned on and runniniPode Ipod driver in order to charge your iPod. You can buy an AC adapter, but of course it costs extra even though you paid $400 for the latest, greatest iPod.
