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.
