What Apple iPod to Buy?

With all the different models of iPod, which one should I buy? Models to choose from are iPod Shuffle 512MB or 1GB, iPod Nano 1GB, 2GB or 4GB or iPod, also called video iPod, 30GB or 60GB. If you want to buy second hand there is the earlier models like iPod Photo, iPod mini and 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th generation iPods. There are shops that still sell some of the older models too.

Which one to buy depends on budget, requirements and personal taste. First you

need to know how you want to use it, and how much music you want to be able to

have on you.

A lot of people are quite happy to play one or two albums over and over again on a

day. If I were one of these people I would get an iPod Shuffle. They are the cheapest

Apple iPod and even the 512MB model will still store say 10 Albums. The iPod

shuffle is the only iPod that does not have the dock connector. So if you plan on

connecting a accessory, you probably want to have an iPod Nano. Further, the iPod

Shuffle is the only Apple iPod that does not have a display.

The iPod Nano is an incredibly thin iPod. It comes in 1GB, 2GB or 4GB capacity,

which is enough for a lot of people. It does not play video, but does show your

photographs. If you want an iPod that you can always wear on you then the Apple

iPod Nano is your thing.

If you are like me, and listen to many different kinds of music and like constantly

listen to new music, get the 30GB or 60GB iPod if you can afford it. 60GB means you

can store a few thousand music Albums, and some video's. Keep in mind that

video's take up a lot more storage than music files.

To date this is the only iPod that reproduces video, which is why they call it the

Video iPod.

Before buying the model that you like, think about how you are going to use it.

There are also many accessories available for your every iPod. You can get a skin,

cases, cover, pouch, charger, speaker system, dock (to connect to your stereo), FM

transmitter (to receive iPod on your radio), all sorts of headphones, cables, car

adapter, battery and 3rd party iPod software, and so on.

Further I would like to encourage you not to download mp3 music for free of

filesharing networks as most is illegal music. For free music downloads subscribe to

podcasts using Apple iTunes. There is a wide variety of music genres available for
