	[quote name="Choson"]Not that I love the iPod, but this list is a pretty good indication that you've never used an iPod. Who said you had to use iTunes? I don't recall you having an aversion to obscure MP3s. That said, about half of Apple's revenues are derived from the iPod and they have an almost 58% market share of the MP3 player market. If you had just said you preferred being a contrarian, it'd probably have been simpler and made you look less ignorant. [quote name="Zseni"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]I've never bought an MP3 player myself. Is it just that the ipod is overpriced? Anti-mac backlash? Or something more sinister?[/quote] <font color="yellow">Why Zseni Will Never Get An iPod</font> 1. <b>iTunes.</b> Never. And I don't care what you can install on the thing to make it act like a USB storage device. I'm not interested in invalidating my warranty JUST TO MAKE THE PLAYER USABLE. iTunes is a design flaw. 2. <b>The Battery</b> All the battery horror stories creep me out. I run to the safety of players in short circulation, ones where there aren't any complaints because there aren't any users. 3. <b>They are more expensive than the competition.</b> And you have to use iTunes! 4. <b>You have to look at the stupid Mac styling all day.</b> Living evidence of one of the most unpleasant realities an ugly woman can contend with: people like pretty things better. 5. <b>I have a Palm for all my non-music-playing needs.</b> I don't need pictures, video, games, or any other peripheral functions. I just want a really good music player. 6. <b> Everything else I buy gets ranked as having superior sound to an iPod.</b> I have weenie sensitive little girl ears. As with all dogs, there are certain frequencies that drive me apeshit. I <i>need</i> a player with an aggressive equalizer component and minimal artifacting to help me cope with my fragility. Listening to iPods handling Beethoven piano concertos makes my eardrums flap unbearably. [/quote][/quote]
