Completion!!!

I would say that the Ipod craze is definetely catching on. 2 months ago, I had only been aware of the existence of Ipods. After visiting a local Apple Store in the mall (anyone else have one of these in their mall?) I knew that I needed one of these. I'm new to the forums, but today was the day I finished my 5 referrals. I'm awaiting approval, and I'm very excited about receiving it (though not excited about the wait!!!). Well, I'll be sure to send my pictures in once I receive my lovely new Ipod ^_^

congratz on getting your 5

Hope u get it fast...and i hope i get it fast...i hope everyone gets it fast D

Indeed!

Congrats to you.

Pass the time waiting by converting your CD collection to ACC format. That's what I'm doing... it takes a bit to convert 5,000 songs )

yeah it does, i imported 10 cd's yesterday, that took a while

why acc? aren't mp3s fine? and i heard that everytime you convert anything, it lowers the quality.

congrats. i just got my 5 on thursday and was confirmed on friday. now i'm processing.

Everything I've read suggests that ACC is higher quality with lower file size.
If you already have everything in MP3, then no, you don't want to change.
But if you're converting from your CDs, then you may want to consider using the ACC file format.
Anything you download off iTunes is in ACC format.

Agreed AAC is good for anything not already in MP3 format

theres no wayI would be able to fit all of my CDs onto an iPod. Im just gonna pick the best ones

Yeah, I'm being somewhat selective too. But I should get the majority of discs I listen to regularly, plus everything I've purchased on iTunes...
The 5,000 song estimate is based on ACC format BTW.

I'm probably the exact opposite. I have like 2gb of music including all my cd's, which isnt that pathetic considering I use rhapsody to listen to music, but it stinks because i have nothing good to put on my ipod when it comes.

I have 1.45 GB so far

i have about 2gb worth

Yeah, according to winamp, I have
715 Mp3's, with a total playing time of 443538, using 2.62gb.

I'm no where near done and I have 8.6 GB or 6.2 days worth.

Can i ask where did you find people to complete your iPod offer?
I'm still having a hard time gettting my 5 cry
so far i have 1 cry cry

Any sites that have a conga that you guys can give me or a place where i can find people that wants to join?

AGH!! I only have like 200 songs...

2234 files, 5 Days 21 Hours 8 Minutes 53 Seconds, 8.96GB

this is what im looking at for mp3's (on this comp that is...my labtop has another 6 - 7 gigs of diff. stuff)

I have 15 GB of mp3's in 1920 files

9691 tracks in playlist, average track length 336
Playlist length 583 hours 31 minutes 7 seconds

39.2 GB

Holy crap! You actually went tagging everything? Must have taken a lot of patience...i'm just gonna transfer them as they are...i really don't care since most of it is in directories anyway

Didn't think of that, but I'm doing that right now. My approval just went through today, and I redeemed my offer for the Apple 20 gig. I was really surprised to find out that a lot of people have a hard time getting these referrals done... No, I don't have any suggestions for anyone, just to remember that free ipods should practically sell themselves.

w00t!

can you delete all the songs off of your computer, once you've transferred them to your ipod? does that have anything to do with the "synchronize iTunes and iPod" setting?
i don't want to transfer all of my songs to my ipod, then delete them from itunes, only to find out that once i reconnect my ipod, it will delete them as well...

It will delete them if it has autosync turned on. It automatically makes your iPod's music match your library on your computer.

Depends on the software you're using and what you have the iPod set to do. If you use iTunes there's a good chance something will get screwed up. (I have no faith in iTunes). If you use Anapod it will NOT delete files off the iPod unless you specifically tell it to. I wouldn't recommend deleting mp3s off your hard drive after you put them on the iPod, since you never know what might happen to your iPod...if it got stolen or something, there goes 20GB of music... shock

Sorry, I should have added that to my response. If you use iTunes and the sync option, it will make your iPod match your computer's library. iTunes does have a manual option which does not automatically delete the songs.

There's no good reason to do that. You would just degrade the sound quality.

AAC has higher compression, and better quality (in almost all cases).

It's also designed to use less CPU (making it ideal for controlling power consumption of small devices like iPods, cell phones, and PDA's).

Converting from mp3 to AAC is a waste. MP3 is lossy, there is a loss of data. So your converting from an impure source.

Only create AAC from a CD, or AIFF, or some lossless encoded file. Otherwise, your just wasting your time.

Apple's iTunes store uses AAC. So that's a prime source for some good AAC audio. Low file size, good sound.
