I am going to be in Nepal for a week with no power or access to a PC. Do the solar chargers work well to charge an Ipod? What other ways can I use to charge the Ipod? Maybe some battery system?
Here ya go:
Crank that iPod

This site has some solar chargers that will charge an ipod. I have no experience with them myself though.
I’m just wondering here: Are you really that dependent on your ipod that you wouldn’t know how to enjoy yourself for a week in Nepal without it?
I will be fine without it, just curious about how to charge it. If the chargers are too expensive I will leave them behind. I mainly want the Ipod for the travel which will be up to 30 hours both ways. I just got an Ipod last week so I am not addicted to it by any means
I can see that. Flying halfway around the world is pretty miserable.
Word. And I hope the OP has better luck than I. I took my portable CD/MP3 player with me to Egypt to no avail whatsoever, because it couldn’t compete with the engines of the jet.
An investment in noise-canceling headphones seems in order - you can keep the music shut off and just cut the ambient noise.
I would like noise cancelling headphones but the good ones are not cheap. They make a cheaper set for Ipods but I don’t know how good they are.
I bought a great pair of noise-canceling headphones, specifically for listening to my iPod on long flights and train trips. I will never travel without them.
And yeah, they weren’t cheap.
panache45, which pair did you buy?
Just split up the components:
-
The headphones.
-
The noise cancellers.
Decent in-ear headphones do a fair amount of noise blocking, the inexpensive earmuffs do the rest.
I should have mentioned I hate earbuds. I can’t figure out why anyone wears them, they don’t stay in my ears. I guess people wear them since they are mostly invisible. My son is the same, he got rid of his earbuds a week after he got an Ipod.
