as i dont have a cd player i thought it was timke to make the p;lunge to some sort of portable music device. I thought it would be better to get an mp3 player as opposed to a cd/mini-disc/walkman. I think I will definatly go for an iPod of some sort. the small size of the iPod Mini appeals but im not sure if itys enough space. At first i though that 4Gb (1000 songs) would be ample, however i would probably be close to filling that with the cd's I have not leaving me with much future proofing. Also i'm finding myself downloading mroe and more (legal) mp3's.

So i wanted to know uyour opinion. the 15GB standard iPod isn't much more expensive, how big is it? how does it compare to say carrying a portable cd player around?

Thanks, Nick.

Ipod (20Mb)

Just checked the specs on cnet review, size is 4.1 by 2.4 by 0.62 inches, so is smaller than a cd player, 8 hour battery life (rechargeable), good review of 85%, hope this is useful info

if you are going to go for an iPod then the get 20gb one, you get extra things inside the box and its only an extra £50 for 5gig .

I don't think I need 30GB of space anyway. 20GB should be fine. 15GB perob would of been fine as well but for an extra 5GB and some more stuff i may as well pay the extra £50. the mini one (4GB) definatly wouldn't of been enough.
