What do you guys think about the newer IPods? I'm looking at the 80gb version, maybe the 30. Is it worth the money, especially compared to some of the cheaper mp3 players?

To me the 80g is kind of overkill. Unless you plan on having a lot of movies and pictures. I have a 60g with over 7 MONTHS worth of music, a handful of pictures and I've used a little over half of my total space.

I have 7000 songs that take up about 30 gigs on my 40 gig ipod. I seem to listen to the same 200 songs.Go with a smaller size drive and a cheaper brand. I just dont understand the need to watch tv or a movie on a screen that is less than 2 inches.

I agree on the smaller drive part (But then again, I don't think they over a 60 anymore) but I have to disagree on the other brand. Everybody's tastes are different but I prefer the Apple mp3 player over other types I have seen and messed with.

For starters, you can't beat a lifetime warranty (Not sure if everyone else offers that or not). Also, I like the IPod's interface and ease of use (Including ITunes). On top of that I'm pretty sure I noticed improved audio quality on the IPod over some other brands (Probably has to do with the EQ options on the IPod).

But then again, to completely disregard everything I just said, I would probably be torn between an IPod and a Zune right now. They seem pretty nice and very similar to the IPod as far as user friendliness goes.
