iPod Question, plus some other stuff

[Sassy69]

IMO the Shuffle is completely sufficient. You can always ask for the Nano for xmas or just expect the price to drop by then. It really just "makes" my trip to the gym. I carry enough crap around between my gloves, belt, straps, water.

Oh yea - I also have about 3/4 of my songs ripped off CDs I already own and the rest I get off iTunes.

My $0.02 - I had the original shuffle and got the new smaller one & I love it. It has sufficiently many songs of my favs for training that I need as well as some potential posing routine things that I like to run thru. I don't listen to it anywhere else so I don't need "bigger". I just clip it on my shirt - I can't abide by shit on my arms because well, my biceps are too big for one, but I sweat so damn hard it just gets slimy & soaked.

I vote Shuffle - its cheap & sufficient - and in the gym I just can't deal w/ a heavy "thing" on me. I just need the music.

I agree with Sassy!!! In everything!!!
I have the original suffle it is great something like 100 songs, and M has the new tiny shuffle and loves it for running long distance and also bike...
I also have the 80G ipod and would never ever take it HEAVIER than my thihgs...
About nano...nah...It bounces around like it needs a special bra!
I vote shuffle!
I download from limewire too, and no problem..
I like to use real player for adding and deleting songs much much better IMO than itunes!

OMG Daisy........ she's sooo cute!!! What a great age! They grow fast

I have the mini (they dont even make it anymore) if I were to buy a new one I would go for the shuffle. I find that I wasted a lot of time looking at the stupid screen looking for a certain song or band at least with the shuffle, you turn it on and go, no fuss!

OH she is absolutely ADORABLE!!! I got a soft spot for little ones anyways and she is too cute!! I have the IPOD nano and love it!! Would be lost at the gym without it for sure!

Ive also got the Nano with the Nike running chip and I love it. Isnt the Nano pretty much the same size/weight as the shuffle?
my nano is about the size of a credit card, only thicker.

I second in this entirety...I never could stand strapping the ipod onto my arm..for me, it was too distracting..the shuffle is so so easy to clip on- I clip it onto my pants at my hip...it even can clip onto the reading rack or bottle holder of a cardio machine..It holds 240 songs or something like that, so you will always have room...Like Sass, I use mine just for the gym, so no need to have anything more fancy than one that plays my tunes...and once people know you have one,they can buy you gift cards to ITunes..I got three for Christmas...Good luck, Daisy!!

I got a Shuffle yesterday and LOVE it so far. It is so flipping small! Worked awesome on my run this morning, plus worked great in the gym yesterday.

iTunes is not the best for uploading songs, a bit cumbersome, but will use it for now. I like Limewire better (and it is "free").

Also bought a new pair of running shoes Saturday - love them. Feels so much better on the legs/ankles/knees. Oh, and a couple tanks to workout in and a new pair of workout/running pants.
