I'm ashamed to say I can't leave home without my 30GB video iPod. I've got my entire CD collection (about 180 CD's--2185 songs, plus 1 movie & 3 video games) on it. I've still got 17GB free. It was about $250 when I bought it 2 years ago.
The Nano ($150) does have a video screen, but it's so small I don't think it's worth it. A Shuffle is about $80, no video & can hold about 240 songs. You can import songs through the free iTunes software (Mac & PC), either from the store or your CD's. It's pretty easy. david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society 450 W.

I have just found out that my wife would like (read: is expecting), an iPod for Christmas. I know next to nothing about them other than that they store and play music. In looking at the Apple website, I would think that something like the iPod Nano would suffice; something that would handle a decent amount of songs and is able to select songs if wanted. No video involved at this point. I just don't know what's involved in the process of getting music into the iPod , and/or is there a better one than others as far as ease of use and so on. Any thoughts, reviews or recommendations will be welcome. Thanks in advance.
