The thing with the ipod touch is you can download tons of cool programs/games (a lot free) and shit and connect to the internet with it. Its basically an iphone without the phone part. Go to your local best buy and play around with one. I got a classic because it came with a 120g and I'm a geek like that but I'm actually regretting not getting a 32g touch.

I have a itouch and its okay. Most people say that the itouch is awesome with its apps but most of the apps are not that great. The only app that i've enjoyed was OSU! which is homebrew so if you want to get one, you have to know how to jailbreak it. For most of the other apps, if you want them for free, you have to jailbreak it which can run the risk of bricking your pod. If you already have a portable game system, go for something that plays flac and oggs.

I own the (silver) generation Nano and have had it for three years. It's really thin and useful. Since my capacity only holds 4 GB, I store the one's worth listening. I don't feel like those 120 GB iPods are necessary - will you ever even listen to all that load while carrying your mp3 player? I highly doubt it. Nano is also thin and light making it very handy when running or just walking around school or whatever. Not to mention, I must have dropped the thing like over fifty times by now, yet it is very durable.

SoMuchSoul, the option of listening to any song you can think of in your library is actually much nicer than you might imagine. Of course no one listens to 3 days of music over the course of their week one after another, but the convenience of not having to predict what you'll want to listen to is a great one. Couple with that the fact that 4 gb is only about 8, give or take 2, albums worth of lossless music, and it's pretty feeble. 320 kbs is compression that doesn't bother many people, but 4gb still won't get you far. You pretty much has to be one of those people who doesn't mind super compressed music.

Nano is for teenage girls

You have a very fine point my sc friend. I also want to know whats the best out there with a big capacity of music. I've had them all to the 120 gigs to the 214mb. I want something that is small(no flashy shit unless its worth it) that is worth the sound of music. I like the sansa's b/c they are expandable in storage, but I also like something that my music won't come out like crap. I'm actually looking forward to purchasing a new music player here soon since my last one crapped out b/c of the heat or I really am not sure why it crapped out.

P.S. I've had many apple products crap out/or stolen, so the new nano video/fmRadio is surely on the list to compete with. Only if apple made their shit with expandable memory.

Hmm Chef, my quality of music is very high actually. All of my music comes from What.CD and I don't accept anything lower than 192 kbps, really. Fuck lossless though - that eats my harddrive. I only listen to lossless files if it really is worth listening to. ;p

^yea a part of my worthy listening music is lossless(albums I invested in) to transfer the music player(apple anyone?), I want a good music player with a good battery along with a good amount of memory. I want to purchase one within the next two months or so but less than $100 to nomore then $135 depending on storage capacity. I lose these things alot or buy to cheaply .

Can you really get sound quality high enough to warrant lossless music out of any mp3 player?

FLAC and APE are amazing for classical music, so yeah, that's why most of my harddrive is being eaten by music :3

Nah, 320 is fine. Lossless is just for peace of mind and the bemusement that you're listening to a track at about 1000 kbs. You can try it for an album or two if you want, and see if you feel like you enjoy the music more (for whatever reason that might be, psychological or technical), but I wouldn't bother killing your whole library if you stuff is already in 320. Most classical music doesn't even go higher than 450-600. The difference you'll notice is mainly in audio tracks below 200 kbs, which are actually atrociously bad, not on a psychological level, but on a level that it sounds like everything you listen to is being played thru a crappy telephone.

Whatever size you get, you'll probably outgrow it in a year or so, at least, if you keep expanding your music collection like a true connoisseur. I have an 8gb ipod touch, but at least 50gbs of music. I just load on the albums I want to listen to (or imagine I will want to listen to later in the week), and go with that. By paying attention to what you're actively deciding to and making a commitment to listen to, you gain a closer relationship with your music. (Okay, that sounds pretty gay, but you know what I mean.)

It takes me a long time to progress to new artists so this keeps my library relatively small. I can listen to the same song for a few weeks before moving on to another song... by the same artist. This way, I could be listening to one artist... for months (with sprinklings of other artists as well). The amazing thing is you always find something new you didn't hear before, and that keeps it fresh! Isn't music awesome?

Get a Sansa Clip Plus for $50 and a 32GB microSD card for <$100 if you're willing to sacrifice video functionality for price. The Sansa Clip is the best mp3 player on the market and it just got the capability to use microSD cards, which is awesome for people with huge libraries like you.

~20 hour battery life
FM Radio
Plays FLAC and OGG as well as normal formats like mp3 (you might have to convert from ACC though)

it's awesome and small

by far the best thing you can do for that kind of money.
and whoever asked about the sound quality of the clip, its awesome.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?
