Now I can have music on those long runs without dragging along the "huge" 20GB iPod. I hate running, but it's the best way to get in shape quickly--and the half-marathon in 4 weeks is just the motivation to make sure I don't slack off.

Just got a 20 gig iPod today. Much as I love the 4gb Nano, I can't justify spending $249 on one when 50 bucks more will get me 5 times the storage. Still, nice little thing for running and such. I'll probably fast-talk my friend out of his when he gets tired of it.
Fucking hell, I'm getting sick of this reason for people saying the Nano isn't worth it.
The Nano IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU. The mini was highly popular for a reason -- most people don't have a use for 20 gb of space on a music player. Hell, I've recorded every single CD I've ever purchased and, along with about 100 songs purchased from iTunes, I fill up 15 gigs of music. Total. The nano is targeted at people who don't need to go around bragging about the size of their music player, people who don't have much music and those who work out (no moving parts is good).
I can fit nearly 1/3rd of my collection on the Nano. That is more than enough space for portable music. I can fit most everything I currently enjoy listening to (I go through phases) on the nano and switch things out when the mood suits me.
I had a 40 GB iPod for awhile. I sold it. While I had the capability to listen to every single song in my collection at any given time, I never did. And, I'd be willing to bet, you never will either.
Now, this isn't to say the 20 GB iPod isn't nice -- you also have the ability to back up all your music on it and never have to replace music. But, for most purposes, the nano is more than enough.

For my money, the 20gb is far more cost effective. I have very limited storage space on my laptop so it makes for a handy storage device along with being a rather nice mp3 player. I've no need to brag about the size of the hard drive (who gives a flying fuck anyhow?), I can just make more use of 20 gigs than I can of 4. I'm not knocking the Nano, just saying that its cost is more than I can justify when I can use the extra storage. Kuroi Madoushi fucked around with this message on 10-04-2005 at 11:20 PM.

I can think of several occasions to have an iPod with the full database: week-long vacations, long road trips, for having a portable jukebox at home that works in the media room, the computer room and the bedroom

Naimah obviously shouldn't have said:
The 20Gig and the Nano are marketed at 2 different markets. The Nano is a flash player, and the vanilla iPod used a Hard Drive. Two different things. If it being more shock resistant isn't important to you then you won't care about the Nano, which apparently you don't, so shut the hell up.
Actually, shock resistance would be handy (music while running would be nice, might add motivation to actually get up and run) but not as handy as 16 additional gigs of space. Chill the fuck out.

And I would never deny those reasons -- they're good ones.
It's the "lol nano sux because 20gb is 5x the storage for 50 dollars more" that annoys me. Thankfully, it wasn't the far worse "Lol ur stupid for buying a nano because the iPods are more efficient."
But yeah. Sage -- enjoy your nano. They're quite the piece of technology. I love mine Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 10-04-2005 at 11:26 PM.

Flame thread dickhead. I don't have to 'chill the fuck out'. You're saying this is better because of a feature, that isn't important. You're annoying, repulsive, and I'm sorry I ever raped your mother.

I'm not saying -anything- is superior or inferior! I was simply stating that, nice as one was (and, indeed, desireable for my purposes), the other had greater utilitarian value to me at this time. There's nothing in my above posts that says "nano sux lolol" or "ipod > nano lol." Beyond that, there's nothing in the rules that says you have to be a fucktard in flame threads.

I wouldn't mind an iPod, though I don't think my CD collection would even fill half of a nano.

I'm an individual. Just like everyone else!
Even though I recognize Kuroi is an idiot most of the time, he really didn't say anything to provoke people here. It's amusing seeing these knee-jerk reactions. Especially Naimah (who is also prone to being a gigantic faggot) with his "shut the hell up", haha.
Anyway, my cousin bought an iPod Nano like, the second day it was out on the market. I got to play around with it and yeah, it's very very sexy. I was actually thinking about getting one to go along with my 2nd Gen regular iPod.

If you have the cash and the school lets you jack in USB devices, get the 20gb. Store music as well as move files around from home to class.
If you don't have the cash or if the school doesn't let you use USB devices on their computers, go for the Nano. Saves money (which you will use to get a good case for it, right?), space and honestly.. how often are you going to be away from the PC that you could listen to a whole 4gb of music, let alone 20?
That's how you make the choice.
