Which i-Pod should I buy???

Tomorrow I'm going to buy an i-Pod something I said I'd never buy but my mp3 player is stuffed. I don't know whether or not to buy the shuffle or the nano. Which is better for value? I'm leaning more to the nano.

Update:

The only reason I'm getting an i-Pod is because my mp3 player doesnt hold enough songs as well. The ubs part isnt working on it either as dirt has been able to get into it.

    Nano. Shuffle has no screen, and no playlists, so it's hard to skip between songs, because they're all in ABC order, so you have to go through the whole memory to get to the song you want, and you can't see if you're on it because there's no screen. Nano is better, even if it's a bit more in money. If you are going to save more, get the Video.

    And I don't think that iPods are made to go obsolete. I've had an iPod Mini for a long time, and they're pretty out of date, and i have had no compatability problems so far.

    Well, i say that the 4 G mini is best. And if you go to Best Buy, you can purchase for $50 a warrenty for 3 years that if ANYTHING (exept lost or stolen) happens to it, they will fix it!

    But the nano is easy to break and the shuffel is honestly, just another waist of time. Some people like it, but if your MP3 got stuffed, most likely the nano and shuffle will too.

    If you want to be able to pick out a song to listen to or set up playlists, go with the nano.

    If you just want to load some music and listen to whatever plays in whatever order the player chooses, go with the shuffle.

    Of the two, the nano would be my choice.

    Definitely get the Nano. It's more durable, holds more songs, and it will last you longer than a Shuffle.

    It really depends on how much you will use it and how many songs you want to listen to. If you want a lot of music on your ipod, get a video. there are programs that convert DVD to MP4 format, the format needed to play videos on the ipod. If you dont want vid capabilities, get the nano 4 gigabyte (4gb). The huffle will fill up really quickly, so i recommend not getting one.

    4G nano 4000 songs great size too and it has a screen unlike the shuffle but DONT get the video ipod cuz most music vids are gay and not worth ur time

    Save the extra 100 dollars an get a video. There are more gigs for each dollar. If this swayed you to get a video, save annother 100 dollars and get a 60 gig. iPods fill up really fast with movies and videos. Get the videora ipod converter if youre going to get a video.

    You should buy the nano, but you need to shop around first to get the best price. Don't go for the first one that you see. :o)

    i would say the nano it holds more than the shuffle it has a screen and its just plainly better than a shuffle

    None. I-Pod marketing is the most obvious use of planned obsolescence I have ever seen. It's absolutely disgusting.
