Ipod/ MP3 player? total novice advice please

Hello,

Having put up with CD's for what seems forever, my OH and i are thinking about getting an IPOD or MP3 player.

Which would be better for us and can you connect them up to your car stereo?? As this is really when we listen to it most.

I feel really embarrassed that i don't know anything about them, makes me feel old!!!!:o

Thanks

    grrrrrrrr would never get an ipod

    something else for the same price will usually give the same thing but a better batt life,

    how much were you looking to spend?
    something with a radio/to play video?
    how much music roughly would you say you wanted on there?
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    OH has an ipod, which she loves, I have a Creative MP3 player which I think is much easier to use.

    With mine you just drag and drop files into it, with hers you have to go through itunes.

    There are literally hundreds in the market now.
    And if you want you can get a little transmitter to fit onto any mp3 player which can then be picked up by any FM receiver, ideal for the car.

    We would prob want about 6 albums on there, just to play music and possibly radio. Nothing fancy, so don't really want to spend more than £100, if that.

    >want about 6 albums on there,<

    Six! Just pop a CD auto-changer unit in the boot and connect to the radio head-unit in the car...

    Not suggesting this one but just an example of what you can get for your money

    You will find the transmitters here, and more MP3 players
