Well you finally broke down and purchased an iPod. It's hip and you just adore how user friendly it is, how good its sound quality is, all the room on it for music and audio books, and the added option of using it as a flash drive. What? Are you saying you didn't realize it was made for storing things other than music? Hey, pretend it's a data CD, open it in your computer, and then do the famous drag and drop move, dude.
You can do a lot with an iPod, but some of it requires iPod accessories. Just searching the internet for "ipod accessories" leaves you with millions of choices. So, how do you find the good stuff? How do you find iPod add ons and iPod replacement parts? And how do you know if the stuff you buy is compatible with your hardware? Here's the acid test: search for the model name and generation of your iPod when looking for your iPod accessories.
What can you purchase? In the way of swapping out broken parts, the only items that you can do that with are the screen, batteries and headphones. If they are under warranty, you definitely want to get the iPod maker to repair it for you. Also, the quality of the headphones really affects the listening experience- spend money to get what you want. Make sure you get a quality item, and don't fall for hyped-up sales pitches that don't deliver a quality product.
There are just tons of additions for your iPod currently. There are holders that fasten onto your upper arm, to be used while you exercise, protective covers of various materials to prevent damage if it is dropped, and transparent covers that guard against scratching. For a long time, businesses have sold speakers that you can use to make your iPod play like a stereo. Now, you can even play your iPod in the car with the appropriate connection!
There are also plenty of choices of electronic add ons, whether you want to track your mileage during your daily run or use a DJ mixing table. One notable gap in the variety of products on offer--no GPS receiver! You can surprisingly often find the best stuff on the manufacturer's website, although it's always a good idea to do some price comparison before you purchase, as you might even find something better.
Searching for "iPod hacking" will show you a glimpse of a rather unusual electronic culture in modern society. You can find information on replacement of the iPod operating system with one that more geeks like, as well as how to change out parts on the inside in order to get better sound from the machine. Keep in mind that this is not something that everyone can do, and you will lose your warranty. You can have some fun, but you should be cautious.
