I have an older iPod, a 10GB one, and I think it's great - holds about 2000 songs. Since it's such an established well known brand, there are tons of fun accessories for it too. I bought software called "XPlay" that lets the iPod work flawlessly with Windows, since the iPod is made by Apple and originally designed only to work with Macs. I realize the iPods are kind of pricey though, but I got it on clearance for a steal, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it.
