No
The Bottom Line:
I wouldn't recommend this, unless you need a really cute doorstop.
I would love to give this iPod model a fat five stars, but I can't bring myself to do it. The problems I have had with this product far out number the times I've actually had some enjoyment out of it. Here is what I've learned (on my 3rd iPod)
Pros: This model holds a massive amount of songs, which means never having to delete/upload different songs you want to play. The user interface is also easy to navigate.
Cons: If you are a Mac user, you probably love this product. However, as a Windows user, I find that the compatibility issues are horrendous. I've experience, intermittent uploading, computer freezing, iPod crashes. If you own a PC, get used to seeing exclamation points on your iPod screen. And in these cases, 99% of the time the iPod will not restore. The battery life is also very poor; you can expect to see a significant decrease in performance within the first six months of purchase. Now that I'm on my 3 iPod and my warranty is about up, I will shortly be stuck with a expensive piece of junk. Apple suggests using the 5 R's to get your iPod back on track: reset, retry, restart, reinstall, restore. These are ineffective 95% of the time so I've suggested some more helpful tips:
Reuse: Makes a nice coffee coaster or Christmas tree ornament.
Recycle: Better than in a landfill, right?
Resuscitate: Compressions on any part of the click wheel are generally more effective than what Apple suggests.
Rock it: iPods are well-known for having more sound come out of the malfunctioning unit, than out of the headphones.
Ruin it: Bury it in a deep hole so you won't be reminded of how much how spent on a worthless toy.
Good luck!
