I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

Correct. Except, I talked to someone who also works with Apple and I asked them, if I buy from Amazon, will it take longer for them to ship? He said not really, since Amazon gets the shipments earlier before so that they can ship around the same dates as Apple does. I've already bought 2. One from Apple and the other from here. I bought it on Apple, only to get it engraved for my husband. And the other iPod touch is for me. Let's see which one comes in first! As to the release date, Apple says the estimate date is the 11th. (I spoke to a representative of Apple on the phone.) Correct. Except, I talked to someone who also works with Apple and I asked them, if I buy from Amazon, will it take longer for them to ship?

Yes I believe that's the iPod that I have. The newest one that just came out. You can order it and always return if it doesnt for some reason fit

Hi, I do not think this is the updated version of the 5G. I am also looking to see If this was, however I am sure that they have not released the updated version to amazon.com yet, I do not see the 80 Gig on here either which leads me to believe that we may have to wait for amazon to release it on their site. This is disappointing to me because I have a gift certificate that I wanted to use it towards the new Ipod, but I am certian that perhaps in the next week or so they should have it released. Good luck!

As long as the 5th Gen Shuffle is the same dimension size as the 4th Gen Shuffle, then yes. I tried looking, and it looks to me like the 4th and 5th Gen Shuffle are the same, just more color options (2nd was more rectangle, 3rd was much taller, and 4th/5th are more square shaped). Here is a link on Apple's page that differentiates Ipod models:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

I think there is some confusion with the "G"s. In Apple world, G can stand for generation, as in in 4th generation (4G) Shuffle, or g as in gigabyte. In this case, the Monsters fit 4th generation shuffles, memory capacity irrelevant. Nearly all, (maybe all) Apple product cases are based on product generation, not memory capacity. Product sizes can vary from year to year, memory capacity does not alter the product. We are using Monsters with 4th Gen 2gb Shuffles. They are secure and fun too!

The c only means different packaging - nicer looking, aimed at the ipod gen. I got the e2's and got 9 PAIRS of sleeves and buds (3 clear, 3 black, 3 foam) x Small, Medium, Large.

My bad. I'm such a rookie. I have ordered my ipod thru Amazon, but only seen it up close in a display counter. So at some point I will truly realize what is small, big, heavy and delicate. Thanks!

I'd like to help but can hardly tell one iPod from another...my iPod is really really really old - at least five years, an 80G..does that help? This amp has an amazing system for adding frequencies to the mp3s. The songs sound, for once, as they should, not artificial, and quite rich..I'm very happy with this unit

I have the 3rd generation (new one) 32 GB IPOD Touch. Works great with this unit. Only problem. The IPOD played perfectly with the default dock adapter, but is a little jiggly. I took that adapter out and replaced it with the one that came with my IPOD. I could not get enough clearance. The IPOD wouldn't make the connection - wouldn't play. I replaced it with the adapter it came with. No one else has this complaint. Plays great music. Also, it's my understanding that the 2nd and 3rd gen IPOD Touch are identical physically, so it shouldn't be a problem. To be safe, this is available in store at Target for $79. 90 day return policy.

Wow, you have a true vintage iPod going back to 2006 or so. I don't own one, but from pictures in the Apple site, it appears so. You might contact the company making the set. They're very friendly and helpful and know their product thoroughly. Hope this helps! -- Dennis

I buy electronics used all the time. If they are unacceptable, then you just call Amazon. I bought an iPod Suffle used and it's fine. Back when I sold my old IPod, it was perfectly fine, but they had just came out with the video iPods and I got one as a graduation gift. Really no need for two regular iPods, so I sold my old one because the video one was cooler. I got the iPod Shuffle because it's lighter and easier to clip to my shirt when I exercise. My advise? Be VERY aware of exactly what the description says. If it says it's scratched, but works well, then you don't get to be ticked off when it's scratched when it arrives. They TOLD you it was scratched. Also, pay close attention to the seller's rating. Do not buy from anyone who has less than a 94% customer rating. If you do, then look to see why people gave them a low rating. Often, it's just that the item took too long to ship, which in the scheme of things isn't a big deal when saving a ton of money. Just make sure it doesn't say "Item broken, tried to return it but the guy wouldn't respond" kind of comments. You are protected to a certain extent under Amazon.com when you buy from individual sellers.
