It's available in a 32 GB model. You don't really need to carry around more than that, do you?

To be honest, I was just going to get the 8 GB. That's approximately 1,750 songs, so about 150 albums. Cut that in half when you consider I usually don't download anything under 256 kbps. Thats about 80 albums worth of music. I can live with that. But a 40 or 80 GB ipod would be great to back up all my music with. I don't know, I've literally been agonizing over this decision.

You wouldn't get an Ipod because your computer crashed and lost all its music.............(cont.)

Ipod has my vote, my 30 gig is well over a year 'n' half and only froze for the first time about a month ago, just had to reset it and works perfectly again.
it's some dumb thing that itunes does........if you hook up a hardrive with music on itunes with another computer's hardrive itunes deletes all of your music

If anyone has some useful info, help me out.
Flash memory is solid state, while hard drive has moving parts. Flash is faster and more reliable, but exponentially more expensive.

Now ya' tell me!!!! Just had winning bid on a 30 GB ipod video (literally, like 5 min. ago). Its the last ipod they made that won't force me to upgrade my operating system. A friend at work, who I thought knew his Sh!t, told me that flash memory was unreliable and that i should wait till' Apple worked any potential bugs out of the Touch. I really wanted the Touch, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of upgrading my OS just to use it. Oh well, my new ipod is shiny, and that's all that matters.

I love my ipod i have the 80GB classic, i have movies and tv shows on it i watch in class when i am really bored. Another thing is back-up all your music on a external hard drive, thats what i do.

I had an 80 GB Ipod, but it screwed over, which I am pretty mad about. Plus, it did this the day my warranty went out. I have yet to see if an Ipod store will repair it for money or something.

It is pretty much saying it i s corrupted when I hook it up to my computer and I can't load music onto it.

I'd recommend that you reformat it then you reinstall the Ipod software (I tried installing Ipod linux on my Ipod but failed miserably)

IPOD. The Zune is microsoft's poor attempt at an ipod clone. I have an 80gb ipod classic i use for my stereo and a 16gb ipod touch (which kicks alot of ass).
