regardless of where you buy your music (iTMS is the *only* place online that works with Macs), BUY AN iPOD. Nothing else comes close in terms of usability, quality construction, a…

I sold my 15 GB iPod to get the 6 GB iPod mini. The physical size of the iPod mini rules. The other non-Apple players don't even register on my radar. They're not as well designe…

I'm the same way. I've played with other MP3 players and they just don't measure up to the iPod. Ease of Use and UI. The Scroll wheel IMO is the best thing compared to the other M…

To sum up: iPod: it really is that good. I had a chance to play with a friend's Creative Zen Micro. Don't wanna completely bash it but that thumb scroll deal will give you carpal…

I have a K700 and while it plays AAC, quite frankly it sucks as a music player.

OK...so as far as the iPod goes, why would you get a mini over the regular one?

Thank you guys for your help. I've decided on the iPod mini, it's small (which I need at work) affordable, and 1000 songs is good enough for me. Next is a digital cam.
