will this ipod work for me? Could care less about album art. 8GB is cutting it close, 80GB seems like overkill but for an extra $50?

I bought a 4GB Nano 2 years ago because I only had 3GBs of music. Now I have 16GBs. Getting an iPod may give you the bug to listen to more music. With the ease of switching between songs and creating playlists, any mp3 player will drive you to experiment a little with your music taste. I also could not have cared less about the pictures or video (still don't) - but I got really into podcasts, and those take up space (if you like radio, check out podcasts - better quality, fewer interruptions). Bottom line - you will probably regret not spending the extra $50. The 80GB is a little more delicate than the nano (spinning hard drive vs. flash memory), but if you are just going to keep it at home it should not be an issue.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I also wondered the same. I now have the unit and it DOES NOT display album art. Also, the ipod controls are OK, not great. There doesn't seem to be a search feature, or anyway to advance through long lists (I have 1000 artists, so to get down the list 5 at a time takes a long while). I also haven't found a way to control the ipod through itself.

I am happy with my Creative system. It plays to my satisfaction with no issues. I think it also depends on certain downloads you may have; say on your IPOD. If they aren't the best quality & sound fuzzy, they can also playback with the same results. Having said that, I think for the money they are great. Hope this helps!

Actually if you look at that same specs page you'll see it mentions a dock adapter coming in the box so it shouldn't be a problem either way. For me the ipod touch is everything that I was looking for. Sure it could have been given a power hungry disk drive with more capacity, but flash is the better option hands down. Lower energy consumption with that nice slim form factor and better battery life for the size (look at specs on the classic 160 and you'll see the difference). I don't know why you would need 16gb of music and videos on there at any one time anyways, manual sync people...use it

It depends on what kind of user you are. I have a 16GB, and I feel like it is enough. BUT I still use an iPod classic for my 6000-some songs. I use the touch only for my favorite music, my TV Shows, a few Movies, and lots of apps. Its like my PDA. But If you want to hold lots of stuff on it, get the 32GB. It also depends if you have the money for it. I didn't have the money for a bigger one. But if you have the money, and you want to play it safe, and think that you are going to fill it heavily, then get the larger one. But if you don't have the money, and KNOW that you won't put that much stuff on it, then get the 16GB.

The 30 GB iPod is physically slimmer--a nice feature. It has identical function as the 60 GB and it is cheaper. It comes down to deciding how much of your music you need with you at any time--30 GB is a lot (enough to listen 24 hours a day for about 3 weeks before repeating). If you prefer to have your entire collection with you always and can't live without that, then choose the 60. Otherwise the 30 GB makes more sense.

Will it work for the new iPod nano 8G? BTW, this airplay unit is $149 on Sony.com. I suppose there's shipping added, which makes this deal basically even with Sony.com. Kind of ho hum.

The last 7Gb on your Classic! I think you are already effectively maxed out, as our iPods need a bit of breathing room and the 7gb would be that room.

Yes. I use my classic 80 gig ipod with no problems. Great unit, love it better than my old Bose.

i basically have the same question - i have the 80gb ipod classic and am thinking of upgrading to 120 or 160gb. Will the dock i already have accomodate the 120 and 160gb ipod classic?

Define average??!! If you have tons of music, create or use acres of documents or books - maybe not. I did buy a 16 gig microsd card for mine, just in case. 16 gigabytes is a LOT of space - but more is better, right?

I agree with you on that one. You can store a lot of music on this. I have two videos and about 1500+ songs on my ipod and have about 6.50 gb used up. 60gb would be nice but not really necessarily important unless you want tons of music and videos. If you want a couple video files and your music library it also depends on how much music you have.I have still plenty of room to put stuff on there and I have about 200 cds left. I would say if you truly need 60 gb spend the 70-80 bucks extra for 60gb but really you should only need 30.

The iPod touch is DEFINATELY worth it, having owned many brands of music players, I have found that the iPod is in my opinion, the best one out there. Battery life is great, price is great, and capacity is great. Definately worth the money(:

I totally agree with you on this, and if Microsoft ever wants to compete with the iPod they are going to have to do better than this. Don't get me wrong because I hate Apple, but this thing isn't gonna come close to an iPod. The least they could've done was match the storage capacity (60 GB, although now it's 80 GB). I don't expect this thing to do nearly as well as what Microsoft expects.

Yes! It's cslled the IPod classic. I belave Apple just stopped production of these. No idea what they are gonna introduced to replace it, because it holds a lot of songs.
