I always preferred the iPod over the Zune. Unlike most of you, iTunes works perfectly for me. All you have to do is learn how to use it well, and boom, nothing bad should* happen.

Please explain how you use something as simple as iTunes well.

I've had different problems with it; it randomly clearing most of my music library, starting up slowly, giving me iPod errors when there's nothing wrong with it, and it telling me to update Safari and Quicktime whenever I start it up.

I've had my Ipod since Christmas, and I haven't had any of those problems.  When it wants to update, it tries to give you Safari/Quicktime, but you just uncheck the boxes and move on with your life (takes about 1 second).

it never clears my music library, and although my Ipod does sometimes get errors, that's easily fixed by resetting it.  It's good to go within 20ish seconds.

It does load slowly, but I'd suspect that has to do with how many songs you have.

I have an 8gig nano.
Pretty much what he said right there.

I've never had any problems. None. All it does is take a good 10 seconds to start up.
I know someone who has at least over 20GB of songs, and he uses iTunes. He has never had a problem.

I haven't had any of those problems and I've had my iPod for 3-4 years now.

The one thing that annoys me right now though is the battery life.

I prefer my Zen.  Don't get the iPod.

If you had it for 4 years now, that would be anyone's problem.

And this is why I'm not that tech savvy.

Same here. In fact, I've never received an error.

The only problem I've ever had was my iPod crashing. And that was it.

That's me. :D ^

I get close to nothing wrong with my iPod. Sure, iTunes is a RAM hog, but what Media Player isn't?

The only problem I get is that my iPod will freeze now and then (which takes 30 seconds to fix, anyway)
