But I dont, so I'll ask.

Are there any major issues with iPods? I am toying with the idea of getting one for when I am at the gym or running the track. From what I saw, the only reason to get a nano over the classic is the small size, but the classic seems to have everything else beat in terms of storage.

Any suggestions?

Only the price...

my iPod mini has been pretty good to me.

My only gripes with the iPod are iTunes and the price. I hate that damn program and wish I could just fucking drag and drop like every other player. And it's a little more expensive than normal mp3 players. Keep an eye out on woot.com or w/e to try and get a bargain on one if you want it.

Price is the major sticking point. If you don't mind smaller size, Creative players are generally less costly. Take a look at Anything But iPod if you want some reviews of other players.

I would instead recommend a Zune (which Woot has on sale right now, $85) if the software didn't suck ass.

Apple's software sucks ass too, but much less ass. And there are alternatives to iTunes for transferring, which is really what eases the burden.

I have a Zune because I had three iPods and every single one broke within 5 days after the warranty was up.

Refurbished iPods are a great deal. You get a 1 year waranty and if you are the nervous type you can extend it to three years with Apple care and still be under retail.

Their stock is always changing so just keep an eye out until what you want shows. I'm rocking out with a 60 gig video I got refurbed. Was just like new.

I love my iPod (30 gig video) but it would never have existed to me if a crackhead didn't offer it up for $10 while I was at work.

Price.

But, right now there's an AWESOME deal at the Apple Store online for refurb. 4gb nanos, second gen... like... $100 good.
