<p>I have a transmitter for my car, since my car doesn’t have a CD player. It’s not perfect (there are sometimes reception problems, just like with radio), but I’m very satisfied. For someone who listens to a lot of music (or buys books on tape), an iTunes gift certificate is great–that’s what I’m asking extended family for. </p>
<p>I have a 30GB, and I love it. It still gets scratched up (but not badly), and it’s more expensive, but I definitely love having all the space. When I’m a poor college student, I’m definitely going to want to be able to keep the iPod I have now without it filling up. I’ve only had mine for a couple weeks, and I already have 1500 songs (from CDs, mostly), so for some kids space is definitely an issue.</p>
<p>Okay - Gramma has placed her Nano order for my d. Found it on Amazon in white; black was out of stock. Best deal we could find, but it was only $5 lower than everyone else. Now… scouting for an appropriate protective case… I appreciate the music download ideas. She’ll want to fill it, and it’s nice to know cheaper sites.</p>
<p>does she like Pearl Jam?
They have put online all their current( Canadian) tours that can be downloaded for I think $10 per show
We down loaded the concert we attended in Vancouver- 3 cds
very cool and good sound quality.
( you also can buy apple products from their website- with an education discount- if you are a student or work at a school)</p>
<p>I think the Apple education website actually has the better deal than amazon( plus Apple will laser your ipod for free something I strongly recommend for theft deterrent purposes)
for a 4 gb nano it is $229. on amazon it was $249.</p>
<p>Ohh I guess it is too late to suggest the regular iPod with video capabilities instead. I would highly recommend a protective case for the nano. Apparently Apple has a class action law suit against them because they released the nano (not other ipods) with a screen which its fragile and prone to crack and knew about this defect. As for anecodotal evidence, my brothers gf’s nano’s screen cracked with a minor drop. BE CAREFUL WITH THE LITTLE BUGGER.</p>
