In 99.9% of uses, this doesn’t: bury itself under your skin and plant a egg pouch full of nanoNanos.
Ohhh…then I hope I get the .1%
I’d love an egg pouch of nanoNanos!!!
Tons of reviews (4.2 out of 5.0) over at Amazon
Reburb current gen ipods already?
How much is 16GB of Music?
@128 kbps (unlistenable really)
12 days, 10 hours, 15 minutes, 41 seconds
(17895 minutes total)
@198 kbps (getting there)
8 days, 6 hours, 50 minutes, 27 seconds
(11930 minutes total)
265 albums (at an estimated 45 minutes per album)
@256 (Pretty good)
6 days, 5 hours, 7 minutes, 50 seconds
(8947 minutes total)
198 albums (at an estimated 45 minutes per album)
@320 (best MP3 bitrate)
4 days, 23 hours, 18 minutes, 16 seconds
(7158 minutes total)
159 albums (at an estimated 45 minutes per album)
Of course this is all at constant rate, you’ll get better results if you got 320 VBR but it’s impossible to predict how big a VBR song will be. needless to say you’ll be getting more than 7158 minutes of music if you do a variable bit rate rip.
refurb could just be returned open stock items that they can’t legally sell as new. Also, have you seen products made by apple? You really shouldn’t be surprised
The 30-pin adapter from 30 pin to Lightning retails for $35 in Canada ($29 in USA).
A steal! Not a deal!
I understand that Apple is not allowing third party Lightning devices.
I have stopped buying Apple products due to the control freak fashion in which after-sales are handled.
Enough is enough!
My first Woot purchases was a 4 GB Sansa MP3. I need a new one, but with more space (preferably more than 8 GB). However, I don’t want to switch to Apple products, because then I’d have to buy all new accessories. 
Otherwise, I’d be in for one.
Why don’t we see non-apple MP3s anymore?
Those are some wacky looking earbuds…

I’ve read on more than one audiophile blog, that the difference between 198 and 256 is only noticable if you have top-of-the-line-stereo equipment. If that’s true, I wouldn’t consider any MP3 player to be in that category. What do you play your music on that you can hear the quality difference?
Is there any way to convert my wmv files to iTunes? I am new to the Apple area but now have an iPhone thing that I am trying to figure out. I would also like a new mp3 player as mine is an older Sansa refurb I got on Woot several years ago.
What’s with all the anti-Apple propaganda lately? Apple sells a Belkin Lightning dock on their website. Is there some kind of Samsung backed information warfare conspiracy going on?

Yes. When you open up itunes, you can get it to search your computer for music. Even your mp3’s in Windows Media Player, then it will convert them to the apple format(AAC). iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a).
I bought this one from Amazon at full price, even though I have resisted buying Apple players before. I have to say that I love it. The touch screen is nice, easy to use, and intuitive. And I mostly hate touch screens. I loaded a lot of music directly from CDs, and the nano organized them by album, artist, etc. without a hitch, unlike my older Sansa. I use the radio, but haven’t used the fitness or podcast stuff yet. I don’t like earbuds in general, so I bought a couple of small speakers. My only real complaint is that the nano doesn’t fit the speaker dock I use with the Sansa, and I refuse to pay the ridiculous price for the Apple converter.
Added: If you shake the nono7, you get a “shuffle” of tracks, which might be a problem while jogging! I have only used it walking and doing work around the house, so never had a problem.
If you are looking for a nano7, this is the cheapest I have seen it anywhere.

It is a good thing that the Nano doesn’t fit the Sansa speaker dock. The ports fit on some Apple an Sansas, but they are not electrically compatible.

You would probably fry your iPod.

WMV is the file used on the actual CD’s. Keeping this standard gives you the sound quality of a CD. When MP3’s are crunched for storage, they take 6 bits out of 10 which alters the sound. MiniDiscs were 4 out of 10 so they sound better then MP3’s.
Don’t full around with altered music. Get a player that can play WMV real music.
4GB of music is huge 8 is unbeleivabel and 16GB is mind blowing. If you can search and play, the access to albums is incredible. If no search, get the 4GB and record your music as to types you like. any way you go, this is a great new method for music storage.
Yeah, I’m not big on Apple either.
the price is still way to high. for a refurb, it should be 90 bucks.
Is this Apple recertified or just refurbished through Woot? I trust respiffied Apple but I’ve never bought respiffied Woot… anyone care to sway me one way or the other on buying this here vs. sucking up the extra $20 and buying new from Apple? It’s not available respiffied through Apple’s website yet.
Thanks!
Yikes! Good to know!
The nano7 uses the same type of USB cable (though NOT interchangeable) as the Kindle, which makes it easy to charge. It’s Bluetooth enabled, which was a selling point for me, since I dislike Apple’s You-must-buy-our-overpriced-proprietary-peripherals Policy. (try saying that fast.)
