Question How many iPods do you have?

When the first iPod was announced, I thought i'd never get one. It was too expensive and I didn't like the white earbuds.

Now, I own 3. Plus an iPhone.

Do you have an iPod? More than one?

I have two. I have a 30G for everyday use, and I have to say, I get my money's worth, especially during my commute. I also have a Nano, which I wear when I run.

I have a 30 gb iPhoto that I got a couple of years ago...right before the first video capable iPods came out. I got it mostly so that I could take all of my music with me when I travel. I didn't know if I would use it very much when I was home, but I found that I use mine just about every day. I use it at work, at the gym, around the house while doing chores and such. I've gotten into listening to a variety of podcasts as well as some audio books as well as music. I love my iPod and when my current one dies I will be quickly replacing it.

None, but I do have this old RCA MP3 player. It's 40 gig and like... 5-6 years old? Around there. It's a tank of an mp3 player compared to pretty much anything out today, but I don't mind.

Sure the battery's about as bad as it can get, but I can live with this until it dies completely on me, or I can get an IPOD for extremely cheap.

None! I just sold the last one on eBay (16GB Touch that I foolishly purchased)! I rely on the MacBook to provide all the music I need during the course of the day...

I just got my first iPod over the holidays, and it is a used very old 40GB original style. It feels like a brick compared to the iPods now. But I only got it because my wife bought a new iPod Touch, so I got her old one. Sadly 40GB just isn't enough to hold everything, but it gets the job done for listening to music in the car.

I don't have any iPods. Strangely, I don't even have any products from Apple, but people tell me it's only a matter of time before I get sucked in.

I have one iPod nano (2nd gen, not those weird square things they've got out now). It's green, and it comes with me pretty much everywhere. I like how simple it is; the iPod classics and videos are nice, but not very useful to me.

None! Occasionally my husband complains that he wants one, but e've still not given in. For us, they cost to much to fill a want. Maybe if they were much lower in price, but we only spend that much on needs. not gadgets.

I have been wanting to buy an MP3 player for some time. Any suggestions from you owners? Thanks for your help. It seems so frivolous, but they aren't really that expensive and I think I would really like it.
