I think my iPod Nano has breathed its last, so it's time to find out what I can find as its replacement.
I'm thinking of moving away from Apple, as I've never been that fussed with the sound quality (no user-definable EQ) and other, cheaper, units appear to offer more for less.
A brief flick through the forum shows up the Samsung YP-P2 and a Sony NWZA818.
To be honest, I'm more taken by the Samsung at the moment, but I'm keeping an open mind at this stage.
One thing that I'm worried about is what to do with the music I already have on my PC at home imported using iTunes (I haven't bought anything from there except a couple of Audiobooks - Ricky Gervais things).
Can I just use the same files and copy them across to, say, the Samsung? Or am I going to have to rip them all again?
And what about Podcasts? I do listen to a few, and would like to continue to do so. I know most podcasts are available from places other than iTunes, but what about the older ones? Again, is it a case of copying them across to the new unit?
Grateful for any guidance here!
