In spite of several attempts to get existing MP3 files made from albums we own onto it, I was never able to do so. The interface must be just TOO intuitive I guess.

After about a year, it stopped working altogether so she now uses a much cheaper, higher capacity Samsung MP3 player that simply looks like a hard drive if you plug it into a PC. It was 3 years old when she started using the Samsung and now it's 6 years old and still going strong. That's about it for me and Apple. That's strange because the iPod touch has been capable of playing mp3's since at least the 2nd gen. I have a 2G and never had a problem with mp3's. It may have had to do with setting iTunes to manually manage your music as opposed to letting iTunes do it automatically Mp3's no problem however.

The iPhone 5 has the new "lightning" connector. Does the iPod5 have the old or new lightning connector? DonGateley October 19, PM. That's rules out on the 5G. Big advance. I'm sure that the only reason the 4G lives on is the venerable dock connector which too many of us depend on. The new connector is too small to ever allow attached devices like the GuitarJack without an intervening cable.

Most existing docks won't properly hold the new device even with a Fool Adapter which, it is reported, requires the attached device to have a license.

Site foot, shoot. In the iPod Nano was announced, which seemed to be a new spin on the Mini concept.

It featured a taller screen and an sleek oval shape when viewed from the side and was offered in 8 or 16 GB models.

The 6th generation Nano saw the line shrunk down to the size of a watch-face and indeed many accessories were developed for folks to wear this ipod as a watch. It squeezed up to 16 GB into it's magically small touch-screen color discplay. In the Nano line morphed into a vaguely iphone-like shape, with a home button and a larger multi-touch display. It was offered in 8 shades with up to 16GB.

For the first time you could browse the internet, watch YouTube and directly buy songs through the iTunes store right there over WiFi on your iPod. This model came in 8, 6, or 32 GB. The 2nd generation Touch came out the following year and looked slightly different, but no special spec changes were announced. In the iPod Touch got it's first camera in the 4th generation-- two actually, a Facetime HD camera and an iSight camera.
