Which IPOD

[shiner]

I've never felt the need to own an ipod before but I'm now looking to buy one but can't decide between the new Nano and the Classic.

well I do have a lot of music, my main use will be in the car and when I'm stuck in the office a couple of days a week.

What type of video files do these playback?

 

[shiner]

.mp4 H.264.

Do Apple supply software to convert media to this?

I'm going to pop into the Apple store in Lakeside at the weekend and see which I prefer, Classic seems good for the money.




How do the FM transmitters work for use in car?

AFAIK, iTunes will play it but won't convert your conventional file (.AVI) to that - you're better off finding a simple converter (if you're on OS X, try iSquint or Visual Hub - Windows user, hope someone else can advise on it ) If all else fails, Quicktime can convert certain formats to H.264.

Yeah I'm a windows user, so will have to do some research.

The iPod can play .mp4 as well mind.

And the FM transmitter works by attaching the transmitter to the iPod and select an empty frequency e.g. 100.0 and tune your car radio to that and you essentially have a radio receiving radio frequency from the transmitter within the vicinity

Thanks wondered how this worked

Decided on an 80gb Classic, been down to the Apple store and think overal its best for what I need. More expensive in there own place at Lakeside that other shops there going to look online.

Thanks for all the comments and help......

Ended up with an 8gb Nano but im going to get a classic need the extra space. Overall this is a good unit but shame its only 8gb.
