Coytee Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 So I have an Ipod that I generally use when I'm cutting the field/yard or on the backhoe. Debating on buying another.... looks like the version I have (I think it's a 60 gig) has been totally replaced by an Ipod "Touch" or something like that. I've only put about 3 minutes searching into it but it looks like it's a touch screen format much like their phone. Anyone use both and have any opinions on differences? (I can get a discontinued version like mine if I want) I do NOT need the extra frills (internet stuff) that I infer it has. Just something to play some tunes. Oh, and it has to have a plug for my Custom 3's (which are still going strong after around 12 years of use....though the cable looks pretty beat!!) i like the scrolling ability of the Ipod. When I'm on the tractor/other, it's easy to just thumb through something while on the move. Is the touch version just as user friendly??

Coytee Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Another question: On the top of my current Ipod, there is a lock switch that disallows the volume to be changed, tracks to be changed.... Since I put my unit in my pocket while I'm working, it gets bumped, hit, pressure from me leaning.... and my current one would change songs or volume on me until I learned about the locking switch. Does the new version have something similar where you can prevent a "pocket dial" while it's in use? What I end up doing is hook things up, put the Ipod inside the zip case that my ear buds came in. String the cable under my clothes and put the Ipod/zip container inside my pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 9, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2018 No help here, I had to look up the difference between a i pod and I pad. I do the same thing but with an old Iphone 4 with a cracked screen. Had it wiped clean, it only has Pandora and Spotify and 10 gig of music when i'm not in wifi range which is most of the time. I use an I pad out by the bar for wifi, and the same music loaded as the phone. Sorry no help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I have on several occasions (3 or 4) bought used ipods on ebay. sounds risky but I have had good luck. I always check the feedback and return policy of the seller first. I too don't like the touch screens and have a docking station that doesn't accept the newer models. Good luck.
