What's the best ipod for music only?

It depends on your ears actually.. To me, and coincidentally for quite a number, the best sound quality has got to be the ipod 5.5 generation (30g or 80g) since they use a better audio chip (Wolfson). I used to have a classic but traded it in for the 5.5 gen. The sound of the 5.5 gen is warmer, more natural, 'acoustical', and has more depth. Listen to big speakers when comparing this generation to ALL other ipods and you'll know what we're talking about. Cheers.

You can use airplay or iTunes, Amazon Cloud, gMusic etc. Airplay is agnostic about the application and source of the music.

Definitely the IPod 5th generation. It's faster, sharper, and overall better. Though if money is the issue, IPod 4th generation is still a great product! :-)

Currently internet radio is the only thing I listen to using my Pure dock. I do however use the digital out to my own DAC and when one listens to a decent music stream in terms of kbps, the sound is great. I was considering purchasing a dedicated internet radio/digital content streamer component to complement my hi-fi but with the PURE dock and my iPod Touch, I no longer need to. Just remember that the sound quality always depends on the quality of the source.

It does not require an iPod, you can use a USB flash drive with music on it and it will play just fine. or you can connect whatever device of your choosing to it via USB.

You can skip songs or whatever you have on your ipod/iphones/ipad. It just skips songs. I have one and it works excellent with my factory sound system

Yup 100% as long as you're using either the actual iphones player and/or amazon cloud (i only mention this because I have used other media players on my ipod)

I have had my iPod for many years and it works nicely with it. You need to use earphones to hear it. My ipod predates iPads.If you want the exact year let me know.

I love it because its small and thin. Its completely touch screen. The thing is awesome! Plus its got 16GB of storage for all of my music. Its an awesome iPod. Full functions of a standard size one too. Hope this helps!

Return the AppRadio. You will not enjoy it even if the iPod magically starts working. There are new built-in Apple Play radios on the horizon. Wait. You'll be glad you did. Here's an article about Apple's CarPlay announced 03/04/2014: http://gu.com/p/3n84n

I've had an iPod Classic 80Gb since and it works great with the Asteroid. I have also loaded a a couple gigs of mp3s on the SD card as well. A very cool feature is that Voice Command will search all including Spotfy.

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

That is up to you. It works both ways. I like using my iPod Classic to control music. When using the stereo, you are limited on searching for music. I have to say the USB port works very well. I love it. Sometimes just load up a USB memory stick plug it in and enjoy the sounds.

An iPod would be great if they lasted more than 18 mths (after your warranty conveniently expires). My second just died, and something about buying a device I know will die and can only be fixed for >/= to replacement cost leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thus, I just bought the Ceative Zen V, my Creative Labs Rio may not be compatible with any computer but 8 years later its still running.

Any iPod touch 4th Gen camera on front and back. Any size GB that part doesn't matter.

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.

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(:
