There is something else I can get but I am really thinking about the Ipod.

1. I _love_ my iPod nano.
Although I rarely carry it with me since all my music is also on my iPhone, my iPod nano is the only way I listen to music in my studio. CMW gave me a JBL On Stage loudspeaker/docking station for the nano, and this combination is _wonderful_. And it has a remote control. No more changing CDs for me! :)

2. What do you want to do with it?
Hold enough songs for a walk or a run? Hold your entire music library? Play videos? Listen to a podcast on the way to work?

3. All of that.
I think there is one that has Wi-Fi, that would be great.

I would like one with plenty of storage.

7. They are pretty handy!
Depends on what you are using it for I guess but since I dont care about videos and all that stuff I just got a shuffel and I love it. If it is just music you need it for check out some of the cheaper MP3 playeres too.

8. I bought a Cowon S9 before I went on my trip to NZ
I love it! :D
And, everyone I've ever shown it to thought it was nicer than the iPod ;)

Here's their home site and a youtube demo:

(If you have to ask why I didn't want an iPod, it's all has to do with iTunes: I can't stand it. I absolutely abhor programs that second-guess how I want to organize things and don't make it easy or "intuitive" to do that from the get-go.)

9. I love my iPod Touch!
I have the 8GB and it holds a lot. But I'm now wishing I had gotten the 16. Of course, if I had the 16 I'd probably want the 32.

11. I have the 32. It's a great device.
I just wish more places would get on board with open Wi-Fi access and I wish I could use something other than itunes to load files.

13. Love, love, love my iPod.
I recently updated and have the current generation 16 gb in purple. Isn't it purdy? Getting an iPod a few years ago really brought me back in to music.
