Where to buy iPod USB cable?

Question

I seem to have lost my USB cable connector to plug my iPod into the computer. Where can I buy a new one? And how much should this typically cost? For example, I looked at it on Best Buy and it was $20! Is this accurate?
Also, I have the Firewire cable, so I don't need that along with the USB (not the whole 2 in 1 thing)...
Also: It needs to be compatible with an iPod MINI

Thanks~

i just recently bought another one for the same reason..... i bought it at wal-mart and it cost me $15.... i dont think theres cheaper ( unless u get it used )

Answer 2

Uhm unfortunately you can't use other cables aside from the apple cable. As one tip of the cable is the standard port USB, the other end is specifically shaped for the ipod regardless of it being touch, classic, nano, or whatever. You're only resolution is to buy a another cable from apple or search the ends of the earth for a similar one..

Answer 3

Definitely only get a Zune.


On woot.com, they're selling 30GB Zunes for about $100

I prefer Zunes over iPod because:

1. Better support - All Zune devices get the same update. Whether it was v1, or 2.0, they all get the same support. Apple doesn't give the same update to all their music players however.

2. Bigger screen - Compare the small squinty iPod screen to a large Zune screen. Much better for videos.

3. durability - My Zune has lasted with me since last December of 06'. Most iPod users by 2-3 every year.

4. scratch-less - I have never seen any significant scratches on my Zune. However, there are numerous on my iPods.

5. Better UI - where as iPod's is rather stiff, Zune's have a virtual 2D UI, that's rather impressive. It's easy and quik to navigate on.

6. FM Radio - like local news? talk radio? concert ticket contests? new music? Zune has radio. iPod doesn't.

7. Personalize it - You can change the background image, get a case, or even do laser engraving with neat background art at Zune Originals: https://zuneoriginals.net/

8. Subscription service "option" - If you're not a big fan of buying music individually, then subscription is for you. For one flat monthly fee, you can have as much access as to any music you want on Zune Marketplace. It's like "renting" music for a month. About $15. Or you could buy songs individually.

9. better integration with the Xbox 360 - the new Zune update will promise better integration with the Xbox 360 than the iPod.

10. View in landscape mode - you can see videos and pictures on landscape mode, so it's like a widescreen.

11. Better included headphones - where the iPod's headphones have horrible quality, the ones with Zune aren't so bad. They even have a magnetic clip.

12. WiFi - you can share music, videos, podcasts, and many things with it.

13. WiFi sync - you can sync to your computer without connecting it!

14. Same price as iPods - Same price as regular iPods of the same specs, but includes more bang for your buck.

15. Zune Social - share music with your friends with your Zunes and online. Discover new music and share your music knowledge everywhere : http://social.zune.net/

16. Sync with Windows Media Center - sync recorded TV shows onto your Zune device

17. Zune software is MUCH more simpler than iTunes - give it a try for free to see : http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/zunes...


(retail cost)

Zune 4 : $150
Zune 8 : $200
Zune 30 : $199
Zune 80 : $249
