I'm thinking about getting an Ipod, but still like my CD's. Can anyone help me out with pros and cons, they're own experiences, ecetera...?

Well if you get an ipod you won't be able to listen to you cds, well you will, but not as much. Then you would have wasted all your money all these years. But an ipod id handy, but you can easily loose it, or break it I believe. Both of my friends have one, and they are good to use and the sound is awesome! So if you love your cds a lot, don't replace them.

CD players and iPods are both great for music, but the iPod is more for music freaks. If you can live with a limited amount of music with you, go for the CD player. But if you're one of those people who need their music collection with them at all times, you should consider the iPod.

With the iPod, you'll have access to either hundreds or thousands of songs. With CD players you're limited to roughly 20 or so songs. Unless, of course, you bring your bulky CD case with you, which can be a bother. The iPods are durable, sleek and compact. No more walking around with a bulging pocket! The iPod's are so small that you'll barely notice it. The iPod is also incredibly easy-to-use unless, for some reason, you find it difficult moving your thumb around in a circle. iPods have tons of features including the option to shuffle songs or albums, rate songs, or create playlists. It also has an equalizer, a backlight, an alarm, games, contacts, time and date, sound check, and the iPod is fluent in over a dozen languages. Imagine walking around the street with 15,000 songs in a 6.4 ounce device in your pocket. Before, you'd have needed a forklift to carry that much music with you. (15,000 songs in CD's=159.37 pounds!) The iPod also comes with great support. Under warranty, Apple will exchange your iPod for a new one if you have a problem, without hassle. Not to mention, iPods are total babe magnets

Nevertheless, the iPod has some downsides compared to a CD player. The iPod’s price is an obvious issue. These things aren't cheap, and if you plan on having one, you must be careful with it at all times. If you break a CD player, it's not that big of a deal, and you could always buy another one. Also, unlike the iPod, CD players don't require external applications to use. Expect to spend countless, fatiguing hours organizing your library and creating playlists. Additionally, all iPods excluding the mini easily get scratched, but there are literally hundreds of different cases out there to protect it from getting harmed. There also are cleaners that can abolish or prevent minor scratches. Some people claim the iPod's sound quality is terrible, and there is a rumor of audio defect with a few fourth generation iPods. And if you don't really know too much about computers, occasional minor problems are probable. Lastly, Apple's signature white earbuds have been known to attract muggers. But you could always change the headphones.

Also, CD's are usually $13 or so and contain roughly 18 songs. If you buy your CD's, that's about $700 per 1,000 songs. (I might be wrong. It's late, and keep in mind I'm a total moron when it comes to math.) And if you burn your own CD's, you probably have a huge MP3 collection. If you're not into downloading because it makes you feel dishonest, that's okay! Apple has a music store that you can access though iTunes. Songs are 99 cents each and albums are $10.00 each.
