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.

You search for a back plate 8gb iPod touch ! You should find it! I got my for a 16 gb back plate!

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. :-)

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

I recently bought the 8GB Nano from Amazon and returned it within a week due to the problems you describe. I thought I was the only one. 8GB Nano would freeze up at least once a day, and would sometimes turn on unexpectedly (when it was turned off and I would just pick it up) with a solid white screen that would not turn off and would not respond to button presses - I would have to reset it. I was so disappointed with my ipod experience that I requested a refund (rather than a replacment) so I can buy a competitor's product. I am jaded about Apple/iPod now.

60mb??? why would you want something you can fit less than an hours worth of music on? ooooooh a typo...right.just remember this is their flagship model, bigger ones will come out...just dont spend your money yet if you dont want something that can only hold a weeks worth of audio...

My ipod works well. I use some longer work out apps and it works great. I have not noticed any slow speed issues yet.

I have an 80 GB ipod that plays videos. Works fine on that one. Don't know if that's the same as your classic. Definitely important to make sure you're ordering the one for your ipod model. I had to google several times before figuring out which one with what features I have. Installing not a cinch, but with perseverance and some luck was doable. Suggest watching youtube on it if possible. Installation should not be taken lightly.

I have 70Gb on a 160Gb iPod, and all the CDs to match. The problem I have is that iTunes is the only practical way for the touch, so unless they allow Winamp to be used with the touch I will have to stick with my old style iPod. I hope the 4.0 operating system allows 3rd party software to work, if it does then there's a 128Gb iPod touch in my future, if it doesn't then there isn't. The touch actually has two memory devices, so a 128Gb chip allows a 256Gb touch or a 128Gb iPhone. The 64Gb parts are currently going in to mass production, which allows 128Gb touch and 64Gb phones.

No, sorry. You'd have to buy one with larger memory. I have over 1,000 songs on mine,but have to confess I don't use it for video, pics. So this is plenty for me. I will tell you (unsolicited advice) that it just stopped working one day - went dead,wouldn't charge) shortly out of warranty, and Sony's response was "We'll replace it for $50". Not very good customer service. However - bright lining - a few weeks later I took it back out and was able to charge and use it. Weird.

It should be whatever the ad says. Bear in mind that the OS alone takes up at least a few gigs of that number so you're getting closer to 60GB. I have about 7000 songs, aps, a few photos/videos on my 64 and keep getting close to or over the capacity. The problem is that iTunes is very cryptic and sometimes just goes crazy and you have to reset your device. Turn off Find My iPhone and reset your passwords etc, AND Very IMPORTANT: turn back on Find MY IPHONE again or somebody can get away with stealing your device! Backup your ipod often and good luck

I'm going to ask you one more question if you don't mind. If I just want the best player I can find to listen to music and don't care about lists, album art, interfaces or anything else. I just want to put my songs on the player and listen to them in the order they come up, which do you recommend? (Can you tell I'm an old lady and just love to listen to music? LOL!) All that matters to me is good sound, ease of putting songs on the player, number of songs I can add to the player and how long it will play music on one charge. Even the Cowan 160 GB player sounds interesting to me.

I see you are a very active member an a entusiast user of the Sony tablet. I thank your opinion. I plan to read a lot, watch movies on my trips and listen to some music. The price for 32 GB is high and was planning to save some money. But if you recommend that is not a practical option, I guess I must pay for the extra internal memory.

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.

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch. When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.
