iPod or MP3 Stick?

Hi,

This is all about convenience vs expense - you were probably expecting a simple question :P.

Basically, there's 2 options, get a MP3 Stick for under £20 and have to change the music all the time, or get a 30GB iPod and keep filling it up for yonks until it (if ever) gets full.

I listen to loads of music, and at the moment I use my Nokia N70, but it kills the battery and it's really really sluggish transferring music back and forth.

Are there any 1 or 2GB sticks around that are lightning fast - as in you press delete and it takes a moment or two, and then you transfer you music and again it just takes mere moments, rather than minutes?

If so that'd be great, I could change the music all the time with minimum inconvenience, and leave a fat wedge of hard-earned cash (I'm an eBay trader, it's very hard earned!) in my pocket!

If not, well at least spending all that money will make me look cool and hip with my iPod hehe.

Aiadi

AFAIK no USB stick for under 20 quid could be easier to use than your Nokia for transferring music and I am yet to hear of anything including other media players that could come anywhere close to the iPod's user-friendliness. This is my experience though and others might disagree.

woo

i would go for an iPod as well, for ease of use then iTunes is great.
You could have a look at the new iPod shuffle launched yesterday, though that doesn't have a screen, which could combine your need for lower price and user friendliness.
