So, I'm thinking about buying an IPOD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Number 9 Dream · 04-27-2006, 01:13 PM

Yeah, I think it's about time I bought one. I normally use a Discman for all my music, but it's getting kind of outdated and annoying to change the cds every half hour or so.

So, I need some help because I have no idea what would be best. I know there are several types of IPODs out there on the market, but I want to know which would be the best quality for my money. I'm looking to spend between $200-300, if such an IPOD exists in that range

Any help or suggestions is much appreciated! Thanks

i'd appreciate this info too because I am going to get one, but I don't want to just get any ol' one.

No way. iPod all the way!!

Definitely go with the Nano one. I know if I had the money right now, I'd be all over that like you wouldn't believe.

with that one, can you attach the device or adaptor that allows you to play it in your car?

I just looked at the Apple Ipod site and it said you can purchase a jack for the car

I might go for an IPOD Nano

I have a Samsung mp3 player and it's awesome. It's 5MB and holds 1200 songs. And the best part...it was only $170. Can't buy an IPod that holds that much for that price. It uses Napster for its uploading and it's super easy.

I've read that Sony's upload software sux, so I'd stay away from that.

My husband bought a Creative MP3 play w/ 8gb of memory for 250 bucks I think.

Someone I went to school w/ that worked at Circuit City said the nano's were a piece, but this was a while back, they have probably improved by now.

Jonathan bought this adapter for his car that lpays through the radio, it's wireless and all, it's really cool.
