I think all of the iPods are great values, and now is a great time to buy any of them. Apple has the whole line really spread out well, it just depends how your daughter wants to …

How old is she? How computer savvy? I'd suggest a pink Mini, maybe the new 6GB one.

Everyone has made very good suggestions so far. Knowing your daughter's age and knowledge of computers will only help to further aid you. As far as deals go, if you do decide to g…

I have a 512MB iPod shuffle, and it doesn't seem to be reporting updated playcounts to iTunes. I just listened to a song in its entirety on the shuffle, and then plugged it in and…

I don't think mine has ever correctly synchronized that info.

The shuffle updates playcounts, but does NOT report the time last played information... b/c it doesn't have a clock.

Here's a link to a script that updates it to the current time. I haven't tried it out yet.

How much music are you gonna have on it? And how picky are you about what you listen to? The shuffle will obviously be a pain if you want any one certain song, and it can't hol…

well i have about 260 songs but i doubt im gona put even half of them on the ipod but i am only 13 so it can expand quite alot

Go with 4GB mini

Go with the shuffle. It costs less if you lose it or break it and is perfect for your needs. The sound quality is better from the shuffle as well. I've noticed people with shuffl…

Just get the shuffle for now. Later on when you have more songs (and more money) you can upgrade. You'd just be wasting all of the space on the mini.

Is your shift key broken on your keyboard? How much music do you own? How would you use either iPod?

If you are going to be away from your computer for a long time with your iPod, the mini will hold a lot more music. Otherwise, the shuffle can probably do you fine.

Shuffle

Shuffle all the way.
