video function. I haven't bothered, because honestly speaking -- who
needs to watch videos on a screen the size of a post-it note?>>>>

 

Exactly, who wants to watch a TV show, or even a film, on something so
small?  So, yes, I just want it for music - I don't think I'd have room
for videos.  But having said that, I might put a couple of my favourite
music vids on just to see what it's like (and to show off.  Ahem.)

 

<<<< A case is essential in order not to scratch the screen. >>>>

 

I've seen that Invisible Shield stuff which looks good, but I'd like a
proper case as well.  But there are so many!  Spolit for choice.

 

<<<< Most important thing is a good set of headphones >>>>

 

Oh yes.  I already have my Sony in-ear buds which have a belting sound.
Even if they are held together with electrical tape...

 

<<<< I pods are really good, especially if you get a decent Pod Station
eg Bose. The sound is amazing. >>>>

 

I read a review of those Pod Stations in last month's What Hi-Fi.
Drool.

 

One more thing - my current mp3 player works with a remote - it's dead
easy to change volume and skip tracks without even looking at it.  Is
the clickwheel thing easy to use?

 

Cheers,

Janean

ive got the 20gb for my music, 2 years old now and i put in a new
battery recently which has made it better.

 

Ive also got the video one as i dont get time to watch tv at home so i
put my training dvds on so that i can watch them when im stuck in an
airport etc.

 

Is it just for music?

 

Personally, they are a work of art. The Nano is a bit too delicate for
my use. I wasnt wanting the video one at first but when i saw it i was
impressed. Still am. I nip off to a quiet area to watch clips when i
need a break at work. Im flying to Germany this weekend so will have the
video one with me. I have selected albums with it instead of the whole
library. 

 

I have the JBL on stage speakers next to the bed so it works as an alarm
clock and you get a good sound from them. the new HI Fi speakers are
immense

 

A case is essential in order not to scratch the screen. 

If you want to record off the tv then perhaps Archos is better for use.

 

Most important thing is a good set of headphones

Who's got one?  I'm looking to get a 60GB video one (in black).  My
trusty 20GB iAudio M3 is dying on me and I could fill it 3 times over,
anyway. 

 

What are the good/bad points?  Any horror stories?  How much have you
spent on accessories (seeing as you don't get any with it)?  What are
the best accessories (seeing as there is so much to choose from)?
