talk me through Ipods please

[LadyVictoriaOfCake]

i dont have a clue!

Ive already got 1700 songs on mine

There is a gadget to convert vinyl to CD which you could then put onto your i-tunes!

WARNING - BASIC QUESTION ALERT:

What bit of kit do I need to play my Ipod in my car? It has a single slot CD player atm, and but doesn't have a docking station thingy in the glovebox?
Have looked on the apple website and came over all faint - none of it made sense.

Thanks!

I would go for the nana with 1000 songs...I have that one and find it more than enough. I have most of the cd's that I want onit.(others cd's are years old and I can;t find them let alone put them onto the ipod) and im not even half full...

I wouldn't go for the bigger mb one....imo.

Lyra I might have to get one of them too!

shh I think it depends how "into" your music you are, for most people 1000 would do it but I am so glad I bought the 30gb all my cds wouldnt have fitted onto even the 8gb nano.

Charlieandlola, have you got a cassette slot? There's a device, which is quite cheap, which you plug into your iPod one end and the cassette player at the other end. Try Amazon.
I don't have one yet but have been meaning to get one. i'm sick of Virgin Radio in the car.

I don't have a cassette slot - sadly! Is there any hope? Do I need to swap my 2 year old saab drop top for a 20 year old mini metro, just so I can play my Ipod??

you need an fm transmitter which plugs into your cigarette lighter..Your ipod then plugs into the end of it.
DH & I both have one of these in our car and they are brill. They were the one recommended in the sunday times. The best apparently.

sonett transmitter

Thank you v much Shhhh

Hmm, much more expensive than the cassette slot one, but much cheaper than trading in your car.

lyra, i hjave a lot of white label vinyls, dub plates etc, which i would like to back up. obviously i cant mix with an ipod.

dont think most are available to download.

Then buy the turntable MP3 converter thingy, then once you're done with it sell it on eBay. You'll get most of your money back.

fab idea, thanks

right, so now to start saving and selling

i will get an ipod this side of xmas

right, i'm going to get a shuffle for now, and then save up for a better one later on. or might look for a 2nd hand ipod in cash converters.

lol dh says get a nano. and a speaker dock thingy.

Buy the one you really want on eBay for much less than the shop price. That's what I did.

I've just bought a Belkin transmitter thingie for my car (from Halfords) and it's great.

I've got a 4g Nano and it's easypeasy, and about right for me - we also have a jack to plug our iPods into our midi system

Dh has ripped a lot of his CD's and laoded them onto his iPod but I tend to listen to more current stuff so I'm not buying anymore CD's now, just downloading.
