What appeals to you the most about the iPod? I love my 1st gen mini, and i wondered what specifically about iPods appealed to them.

for me, it has to be the "idiot-proof-ness." to put music on it, you insert the cd into the computer, press one buttom, wait, and then plug in the iPod. done. so easy and effortless.

what about you guys?

I like the fact that you can use it as a harddrive and an mp3 player at the same time. The other thing I like is they have a ton of space, what other mp3 player can you get that is 30/60 gb? Yea they cost a lot, but you also get a lot in return, plus its pretty small.

I have the photo iPod and I love the huge music capacity because I use it in my car. Always something different!

cool! it seems like such a popular player that it would be nice to get the various appeals of it "in writing" or something like that

The fact that it's made by Apple and works seamlessly with a Mac.

Man, though, I think a lot of it is the predominance of it in the mp3 player market. it's kinda like the microsoft of mp3 players (shock. horror. this in no way detracts from the iPod's goodness. please don't yell at me. :-) ). not that it's a bad product, but that it came out early and now has a few rabid people who hate it (like the idont website. i've seen so many of their posters around town...ugh.).
