Ever since I got the iPod, I’ve been subjected to new levels of stupidity. For example:<\/p>\n

OH SHIT! MY MUSIC DISAPPEARED! IPOD SUCKS!<\/i>
\n
\nNo. You suck. You, in your infinite stupidity and terrible laziness, didn’t bother setting up iTunes [because you, of course, are using iTunes] to not autosynch<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It could also be that you fucked up an update. That can happen, especially if you click ‘restore’ instead of ‘update’.<\/p>\n

And I shouldn’t have to mention that your dropping the fucking thing into the toilet is not an ‘iPod sucks’ problem, but an ‘operator is an idiot’ problem….<\/p>\n

You can’t put mp3s on an iPod! Ha ha! Loser!<\/i><\/p>\n

Again, stupid. Yes, you can. You can’t put .ogg on an iPod, but that’s okay, because you can put mp3s on an iPod. And I haven’t run into a single thing about not being able to do it because I’m not trying to put the CD physically into the iPod.<\/p>\n

Also, learn to read, then read a little about the iPod. And try to avoid the pages where people are saying things like OMG MY SISTER FILLED IT WITH STUPID PLAYLISTS HELP ME!<\/p>\n

You can’t get things off an iPod. It’s useless.<\/i><\/p>\n

No, it’s not useless. It’s an mp3 player, not a portable harddrive. If you want a portable drive, buy a portable drive, dumbass.<\/p>\n

Also, yes, you can get things off an iPod<\/a>. You can also use the iPod as a drive. This goes back partly to manually updating instead of autosynching. It also goes back to BEING SMART<\/i>.<\/p>\n

So, what have we learned? iPods take mp3s [and it’s not hard to make those], and you can get the mp3s off them if you’re smart enough to look for ways, and all you have to do is not have it auto-synch to keep from losing your files in the most common way…and, if you do lose your files, you have no excuse for not having them backed up somewhere.<\/p>\n

Stupidity is not an excuse.<\/p>\n
