My 80 GB iPod Classic is awesome, I'm really happy I got it and I've been really enjoying it. However there are a few things that I definitely don;t like about it.
1) Compilations are handled terribly.
I want to be able to sort by Artist and then album, but I don't want the individual artist for every track on a compilation to show up as their own entry in my artist list! For compilations I want the compilation album name to show up in the artist list, and that's all.
The whole point of getting a compilation is that you probably don't have a lot albums by the artists on that compilation already. So when compilations are included in my artist sorting I wind up with a zillion people there that I don't recognize cluttering up my artist list and preventing me from easily finding the artist I'm actually looking for.
2) It doesn't remember the place you left off of in your playlist!
When you watch a movie, you can stop the movie anywhere, go do anything with your iPod, and when you hit play on the movie it automatically picks up from where you stopped watching, which is a great feature. However, when I'm in the middle of listening to a playlist, as soon as I connect to my computer, play a movie, or do almost anything else with my iPod it forgets where I was in my playlist and when I go back to play music again it starts from the first song in the list again! Arg!
The majority of how I listen to music is through playlists, so this is a huge annoyance!
3) It won't let you put EQ in your main menu.
I use my iPod everywhere in lots of different environments, just as it was intended. In some noisy environments I often need to switch the EQ setting, but since it won't let you put the EQ option window in the main menu like it does for many other windows that means every time I want to change the EQ I have to go surf through a few submenus.
There are a few more gripes, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.
What about you? What things don't you like about your iPod?
