    I have a Shuffle and I really enjoy it. Got it from the wife for Valentine's Day and it is simple to use and great for when I go running or skiing.
    I'd love to get the big Kahuna (60 gig), no need for the video feature as on the latest, but to be able to transfer the majority of my music from vehicle to vehicle without damaging or losing cd's would rule. Thumbs up.

    I have a 20 GB from last year that I bought myself for Christmas. I didnt really take care of it so it went out in less than a year, but my warranty gave me a brand new for free. No shipping charges, or anything. I have been please with product and customer service. the customer service was the icing on the cake. If you can get your hands on one, then buy it. I reccommend the 20 gig if you have a nice music library.

    My music library is shite, and my cellphone has an mp3 player built into it. Once my 128meg flashcard comes in the mail I'll be set.

    Maybe the Rockr, or whatever Motorola calls it. I shelled out 300 for my Razr, when the black one first came out. I love that phone though.

    Depends on what you are going to use them for. I love mine. (Mini) Holds about 1800 songs. Supports playlists which you and make easily in the software on your PC. Many handy features and great ergonomiics. I have a Bose docking station in the office. Plug it in and use the remote. Got a kickin Altec Lansing boom box for Christmas. Actually has a lil door like an old cassette player you put the Ipod in. Have a couple of Mp3 players which are great for sports and exercise but the Ipod is a wonderful way to "bring your library" whever you may be.

    Apple - you can send ad payments via paypal.

    Never met anyone who didn't like them once they had one. Probably the best testimonial you can have for a product.

    My wife got me a 4 gb nano for christmas. Personally I never really looked into them or considered buying one but so far it seems pretty cool. I had an mp3 player but I had'nt been able to find it for months. Turns out my 3 year old put my old mp3 player in the microwave and blew it up. Funny, I thought a few months ago my wife just wanted a new microwave so she went and bought one. Now it all makes sense.

    got a 4 Gb Nano in September. Has been missing in action since October; it's so small!!
    Found it Sunday in my sock drawer--where it should have been anyway. Love the size; will obviously be more careful. Funny thing, one of my son's friends "misplaced" his nano over the weekend--called all houses and restaurants where they were; found it in his room. Another friend "lost" his in his briefcase for a while. There's a lesson here; they should build in an alarm that responds to a clap of something.

    You guys are nuts....

    I just can't see myself carrying one around honestly. I burn cds of songs that I don't want to buy the cd of, and if I like the entire cd after downloading it, I buy it in the record store. I've got almost every Dave Matthews Band album, and if I downloaded them, it just wouldn't be the same....

    What do you do if the computer crashes and the ipod has a fit and deletes everything? I guess if I put a gig card on my pocket pc I could use that, but I'd rather put porn and clips of chapelle show

    You guys pay for music?!??!?!

    I usually buy the music on CD to begin with. It's very hard to beat music club prices (If you keep quitting and rejoining them for the introductory offers). Ideally, you make MP3's and from there it's compatible with just about all devices and you can easily back everything up onto DVDR's. Unfortunately, in reality, this is a fair amount of work for a family man to find time for. If you buy CD's and never actually use them after ripping them once, they last a very long time.

    On a side note, make sure you hook your stereo up to your video system. Not only do your movies sound great, if you burn MP3 DVD's, most DVD players make excellent Jukeboxes. Use RCA/headphone jack converters and you can play your digital device through the generally unused phonograph input.

    Duh, just store your music collection on a RAID 1+ array!

    Actually, I got the RAID for my gf's photos. Now I don't need to worry about every photo of her niece vanishing into thin air because a head crashed.
