Question: Tax-Free only on Amazon? When buying an iPod from retailers or from apple.com or other online sites, all of them charge about $30 tax for the $349.99 pricetag. How come Amazon waives the tax?
Document: The bigger touch screen was not worth it for me, and I could not wait for another upgrade.Because of an Amazon delivery est. 4-7 weeks out, I canceled my order for an 80gig, went to Apple instead(free shipping), and ordered the 160gig. 160gig does not seem extreme. There is always something new to fill space. Higher quality music and videos, backups, games etc..  Plus the apple-site shows the 160gig battery has about an extra 30% play-time than the 80gig (apple site Classic tech specs).Had to pay sales tax, but got free engraving.
I've read all the bad reviews on Amazon.com, and read it all while I was waiting for my 160gb to come in the mail. As I was reading, I was thinking I've made a huge mistake and a nightmare is on the way. All I can say is, it must be that only the small percentage that have had troubles have posted reviews, the ones that have had nothing but good like me have not written or given feedback. This is the sweetest iPod I've ever had. I replaced my 5th Generation 60gb video with it, and I love it!
There are also many alternative sites for legally and safely purchasing music other than the Apple Store. Frostwire is the first to come to mind, but there are many more. These sites also do not restrict your ability to use the songs you purchase as you wish to, like Apple does. Add these 3 tips to your Ipod purchase and you can thank me later.
Having been a Creative Zen Vision and Vision(M) customer, I was a little hesitant to buy an Apple iPod Classic 160GB. I read a lot of customer reviews at various online retail sites and heard some less than positive things about this player. I have been nothing but thrilled with this player since I opened the box!! I LOVE the 160GB disk space. Compared to the 30GB size of my previous Creative Zen Vision and Vision(M) it's really no comparison at all. I have had 3 of my Creative Vision(M)s have hard drive failure since I've had them, and Creative's Customer Support is VERY POOR!
I even waited for version 7.6.1 of iTunes to come out in hopes that they would fix these issues and still no luck.Finally, nothing has worked and when I return the product to the Apple store I am hit with a 10% restocking fee. Nice company - release a defective product(looking at these reviews and other forums its apparent that the issues are not particular to my ipod), then charge your customers for your mistake.Also, when I was able to transfer some content over to the iPod the controls were very unresponsive.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL I would never buy proprietary apple trash, I would not take it if it was given, you say yeah right! ?, no really why take an mp3 video player that you can only use with an apple garbage software?Why buy proprietary junk? read below you have great options for great movie and mp3 players.Amazon you have done a serive to these Mac users. You taught them that they are the ones buying junk ipod products. People read and listen, you have a choice.
I like the 160 storage capacity. It can be used as a high capacity portable drive while having plenty of room for all my music. Battery seems to charge faster.I wish the entire iPod series had better fidelity.The new classic models won't fit in the earlier series clickwheel charging bases, so line-out is not available to hook up to your stereo. I rate it minus one star that I have to use the headphone jack to hook up to my hi-fi unless I pay more money to apple.Wish it had come with a wall charger, though it does charge quickly on the USB wire.
Do not buy apple products they only work with other apple products and since apple has about 5% of the market.... Oh yes for you, NBC cut it over to their website and opened it up to the rest of the 95% of the market. So they have not lost anything, they have made more moneyThat is what you get for buying worthless ipods and Apple products. Apple is proprietary and that is why the Amazon Unbox does NOT support it. The .wmv files can be played on a lot of software, such as Toshiba, Creative, iRiver, Archos, Zune, and any player that is playsforsure.
Ok so I will start by saying this is a wonderful item. I have had my 160gb Ipod for about a year now and couldn't be happier. However, I only paid $350 for mine BRAND NEW at BestBuy....this OUTRAGEOUS price on Amazon is a joke to think anyone would even consider paying $500. I highly recommend this product but, for the love of god, go shop around elsewhere. I saw some 160gb Ipods on other sites a few months ago for a FRACTION of this price.....KEEP LOOKING!
But once I started having problems, I looked at many reviews (on Amazon and off), and I found a high number of people who reported problems with syncing and dying iPods. One person said that he posted negative comments about syncing and hard drive problems on Apple's discussion forum and that Apple was deleting his posts. He started monitoring the site and saw that a number of other similar posts from other users were also deleted. I guess Apple knows about the problem but doesn't want us to know...Luckily mine died within the 30-day return period (I bought it from J&R; through Amazon), and I'm getting a refund.
Answer: Amazon only charges tax in states in which they have a physical presence.  Those states are KS, KY, ND and WA.Apple also only charges sales tax in states in which they have a physical presence, but they've got one in almost every state.  Same goes for walmart, target, etc.
