I got this to replace an old 2 GB Gen 1 iPod that was stolen out of my car. I thought for this price, even if it's junk it'll probably be better than the one I lost. I get it, and iTunes has to format it for Windows before I can use it. But then, it was like a brand new iPod. I've stored all my old music on it and still have tons of room for more. Now I can continue to get great sound with the 30-pin connectors in my cars. Thanks for such a quality piece!

Although the iPod looks just fine, I tried charging up but the battery would not retain charge; accessing the iPod proved impossible on three of three computers I attempted to use (using the included usb cable and another I had available). The computers would not recognize the device. So — no sound, no power, nada!!! I have been had! Though, for $34 I guess I shouldn’t have expected much. But I have been very disappointed.

Just got this item 3 days ago. Will review what I've noted so far. Pros- Easy to use, good storage capacity, no technical problems, nice design, small/portable. Great iPod, for the year this came out. Cons- Battery life only lasts 8 hours at most. Anytime I plug it into my computer (just to charge) it auto syncs even if I don't have iTunes open. Very susceptible to scratches (only had it 3 days and it's spent almost all that time in my pocket or in the bubble wrap it came in when I'm asleep (so the cats don't knock it off the table) and it's already got a small scratch on the track pad.. I cannot fathom how that got there, honestly. I think it just fabricated the scratch out of nowhere to irk me. Bought this to listen to music on the go (obviously) and it certainly does the job. I am sharing it with my fiancee and with both of our music on it, only a little over half the memory is filled (341 songs taking up 1.9 gb out of 3.7 gb.) The only comparison I can make is with a Sansa C250 which I had a few years ago. The Sansa decided after just a few weeks that it was going to sporadically format it's memory.. only it didn't quite do it right. All the music was not on the mp3 player, but it was still taking up the space. Even when I plugged it into my computer and looked through the files, the music wasn't anywhere. I tried formatting the thing myself, and it still didn't fix the problem. I also tried adding more music and couldn't. This iPod is the first mp3 player I've got since then. So far it hasn't done anything strange on me (except fabricating a random scratch) and I'm hoping it won't. I've only had it three days though. If anything odd happens I'll update my review. Until then, I've had a good experience. I'd recommend this.Read full review
The iPod Mini is essentially a smaller version of the classic iPod and thus is a great no-frills music player. But what makes it truly special is it's fairly easy to upgrade beyond factory specs by replacing the 4GB micro hard drive with a larger capacity compact flash memory card. Not only do you gain space for more music, you replace the fragile, spinning hard drive with robust solid state storage, which performs faster and uses less energy, thus increasing battery life. The best part is it's a direct replacement with no adapter needed. Put in a fresh battery while everything's apart and your iPod Mini is better than new.

The size of these are really good for someone who likes to jog, or in my cases needed an extra cheaper iPOD for a car application. Still packing 4GB of music, you can do a good 1000 songs. The battery doesn't last long in the first generation Mini's, but this one seems to be doing fair. Only real dislikes are the weight. To be as small as it is, the Mini weighs significantly more than it's newer version "Nano". But, all in all, it's just what it says, a Mini Ipod. I haven't dropped it or banged it again anything, but this seem MUCH more durable than my newer 5th generation iPod.
