as above really.. and some advice, which is best just want music not interested in pics movies etc, want a transmitter too and a set of speakers.

 

going on holiday at end of week and need tuneage..

 

cheers in advance

depends how many songs you want on it??

 

if its 10 or 20 albums then go for a 4gb one or if you want to do a massive collection then maybe a 20 or 40gb one.

 

tbh i got the really small one with 1 or 2 gb memory and it holds 6 or 7 albums which is more than enough and its tiny :) plus there about £50 LOL

found one on ebay 8gb nano brand new for 119.99 seller has a 99.5% positive rating, think i might go for that unless anyone has any other suggestions?

If you ignore the ihype of the ipod and don't follow the other ilemmings there are lots of alternative MP3 players available that give the same of greater storage for less investment. And lots of the USB based ones make it a bit easier to load you're music on too.

I would go for the iRiver, its much better sound quality than the ipod and cheaper

Dont get the nano if you want video as well tho

Id defently go for a large capacity one. The mrs' has a 2gb nano, great bit of kit but i use it for audio books when we go to Les Angles which is about a 5 hour drive and i can only get 4 books on it or about 15 albums.

only reason i was goin for ipod is the accesories, I want to get a fm transmitter (for the car) and a music/docking station

 

can you get these for the other ones?

 

scuse my ignorance :D

There is a review on here, the iRiver s10 look smart and very portable.

Quality of FM transmitters isn't always that good - go for a wired connection if poss. My head unit has a 3.5mm jack socket in the front which is brilliant, if not you can often lash something up with an auxiliary phono socket on the back.

 

Incidentally, the FM transmitters are available separately from gadget shops.

well cancelled the purchase cos the feedback was crap!!

 

bloody fleabay

 

gonna see about an iriver if the sound quality is really that good

You could try here :D
