"OMG what a piece of crap!!!!"
Pros: nice sound, user-friendly click wheel, games, and other features
Cons: battery life, headphones
Summary: Hey guys, if you are reading this listen to me. Dont buy any ipod, they are a waste of money. My ipod mini blue 4gb 2nd generation was my love when i first got it in june of 2005. But when the battery started only lasting like 6hrs. i got really angry when Apple advertised 18hrs. that is such bull. I took it to the Apple store a couple days ago for a battery test and they said nothing was wrong with it. I was like what? what do u mean there is nothing wrong with it it only last 6 hrs when supposed to be 18!!! They said so...if I wanted a repalcement they said to pay 30 dollars and buy applecare for 60 bucks. I was like no way mine as well buy another mp3 player for 50-60 dollars more. All in all, I think the ipod mini is more for kids, it has good features but if ur a teenager and loves music like me then you would like a much longer battery life. If you are looking for a good mp3 player dont look at ipods get another brand. Right now im looking for the new Sony NW-E507 with 50 hrs of battery life that is rechargeable!! 3 min. of charge is 3hrs of playback!!Oh and the headphones for the ipod are herrendous they dont fit my airs and are staticy and cheap. So if you are looking for an mp3 player look at other brands than apple ipods. Hope this helps.

How long do you charge your iPod? If you don't let it charge long enough, the battery life isn't gonna be great. But if that still doesn't work, you should try replacing the battery yourself; there's plenty of guides online that tell you how to do it. It'll save you lots of time and money if you do...

there is less battery life when u play songs from ur library than if u do it from a playlist because the hard drive has to do less work to cache the songs. mine is 2 years and i still get about 14 hours
