When it comes to iPods, they are not all created equally. One model is not necessarily better than the other; they simply all have different features. As such, it pays to learn about what they different iPods can do before going out and purchasing an iPod. If you are in the market for a new mp3 player, you can be certain that an iPod is your best alternative. The tougher question, though, is which iPod is best suited for your wants and needs. Take just a moment to peruse this article and discover what the various iPod models offer.
iPod Classic: Perhaps the greatest thing about the iPod classic is its large storage capacity. The classic is available with 160GB of storage. If you are unfamiliar with this unit of measurement, it means that the iPod classic can store up to 40,000 songs. In addition to music, the iPod classic also stores video and photographs so you can utilize your iPod for various purposes. This version is best suited for playing at home or through your car stereo system.
iPod Nano: The iPod Nano is somewhat smaller than the iPod classic, so it is better suited for listening to music while on the go. You do trade some storage capacity for the smaller design, however, as the Nano is only available with 8GB or 16GB of storage. The new Nanos come standard with FM radio and a video recorder. As such, rather than downloading photos to your iPod, you can take them directly from your Nano.
iPod Shuffle: The shuffle is the smallest of the iPods, making it the best iPod model for people who need an mp3 player to accompany them during their exercise sessions. This model does not allow users to select specific songs. Rather, it either shuffles through the songs that have been downloaded to it or plays playlists that have been created with iTunes.
iPod Shuffle in Stainless Steel: This version of the shuffle is substantially the same as other shuffles, except for its stainless steel casing. This is aesthetically pleasing and it adds durability to the iPod as well.
iPod Touch: This version of the iPod is actually quite a bit more than merely an mp3 player. It is available with 8GB, 32GB, or 64GB of storage so you have plenty of options even among the Touches. In addition to playing music, the Touch displays photos and plays videos. The most desirable feature of the Touch is that it doubles as an internet device in areas with a WiFi connection. The large screen on this iPod is touch sensitive, much like the iPhone so it is also great for playing games on.
Regardless of which iPod model you decide is best for you, you always have access to iTunes. With iTunes you can download your favorite songs, movies, television shows and podcasts directly to your computer. You have all of the freedom in the world to create playlists and add or delete music from your iTunes and then transfer it to your iPod. If you have yet to enter the world of iPod, now is the time.
