[Others have already talked about sync and using id3 tags, I'll just adress which one I'd recommend you buy] I'd definitely recommend now as the time to get a 5g iPod, but to wait if you plan on getting a 10 or 20, the mac rumor sites have been saying a new pod is due any day now for about a month or so and are guessing the delay may be due to flat sales cause of the war. But if you just want a small iPod, smalldog.com has refurbished windows ones for 209 + shipping, can't beat that deal. I drove there on Saturday to get one for myself (paid 222, local with taxes) just to have it in my hands (3 hour drive each way, but it was a nice day, well, warm at least). I already had a case (entered a contest to win a free pod and got a runner up prize) and wasn't that interested in the remote on the headphones thing, so the 5g was a good deal for me. If you are thinking about needing a case and want the remote, the cost of the 5g + a case + a remote (both come with the 10g pod), you're almost at the cost of a 10g pod, if you're talking new products for both.
