ipod help

Wanting a bit of help guys, have searched the forum and not found anything that answers this!

Firstly any recommendations on what i-pod, nano/mini/shuffle - I'm new to i-pods!!!!

I'm wanting an i-pod, but thing is my music collection is about 3 to 4GB, (not 100% sure yet) and I'm not sure my budget can stertch to an i-pod of that size.

I'm wanting to know that if i got an i-pod with a smaller memory than my music colleciton how easy is it to chance what's on the i-pod.

I know i-pods are meant to store your whole music collection but I know I'll never listen to it all anyways!!!!

The i-pod site has this answer

hope that works!

Anyone any experience/advice on this??

Very easy to maintain playlists with i-tunes so no worries there....basically you just add remove what you want on the pod and sync - takes a few seconds to change contents!

What about a Nano? Decent prices from Amazon...

2 GB
4 GB
8 GB

Do you definitely need an ipod, maybe you can get more memory for your money with a different make?

erm, no not really, just sth small and that is easy to use, and i've just converted everything to i-tunes

used windows media player before but my MD player doesn't use it so it was a pain and it took forever to transfer songs etc. I also want sth that has a screen and is easy to find the artist/album you want

probably going to get off ebay anyway if its an i-pod or from apple education store, or amazon with 5% NUS discount!!!

maybe if you got the last edition of the nano instead of the new one it would be being sold at a knockdown price now.

Nothing. It's just well overpriced!

Some can but most will work with just windows. What format is your music in? If it's mp3, you can remove itunes no probs.

at the minute all my music is in i-tunes and then about 80% of it is also in windows media player.

is there any other good mp3 player that is easy to use and has a screen like the i-pod?

imho

I use xplay to put music on my ipod .

I dont think they are better than other mp3 players.I have a Sony NW-HD3 i prefer that to my ipod and stores 13.000 songs

We got this one for my daughter for Christmas and she is very happy with it. Half the price of an Ipod AND plays videos.

Only 2GB though, but I can assure you that's a LOT of tracks.

Look out for vouchers and go through Quidco for extra savings.
