Hi,
I am currently looking to upgrade my old ipod (since the battery has about 30 minutes of life!) but i am not really sure what one to get.
Im thinking of either the ipod 80gb or the microsoft zune 2 80. Comments from owners of either of these would be appreciated.
Also, if you have an mp3 player which you would recommend, please leave a comment.

Hey Dr..

Nano ~ Crap they always break..

Ipod Mini ~ Tho i have older version they are way better id say, cant live without mine.

I have no clue what GB they are,urm.. one holds 1000 songs and one holds,either 1500 or 2000 (not sure!) BUT tbh i dnt care cos who can listen to that many songs at once anways? :S

I actually have the old version of the iPod Nano, and it works great. Never had any problems, and I listen to it everyday. Depends on which version you get, I guess.

Can't you just charge your old mp3 player?

It's true they do break easily I have one and it always get's jammed so don't get a nano.

just to let you know. not the ipod nano 3rd gen, bought one last week already it has died. £119 from play.com

1000 songs will be the 4GB
2000 will be the 8GB ect ect

I have been using a creative zen 20gb player for 2 years and have found it to be a great machine. Very reliable.

I have a Sony 1Gb one, and it holds around 700 songs - about twice the number of most others with no noticeable decline in quality. Unfortunately, the new Sonys only support Mp3, so they'll store the same as every other MP3. Not keen on Ipods - I think they're over-priced and not as good as many other Mp3's on the market.

Definitely wouldn't go for the Zune though...

I have the Ipod 80gb version

And it works fiiiiiine!

wont it be cheaper to just get a new battery? or do you need an upgrade?
If you can get replacement batteries, then do you want to sell the old one?

Ask yourself, do you really need 80GB??
I have a 512MB MP3 player and still find myself with 100 good songs.

I agree !!
Ihave the old Nano....light blue..not sure whch one, its relatevely small in like a rectangle lol.....
I also listen to it everyday...and have had it for 2 years ! ! !
It it works FINE
SO that statemnt is false
Nano's are great..

I agree....the very first MP3 i got was the 512 one....It was a great little MP3 player.....but if you wanted to listen to it alot u needed to take out like a pack of batters coz it kept dying !!!!
So not very good for 'being alive' hha

Calling all Americans for opinions on the zune!!

My MP3 Charges when you put it into the computer, no batteries.

Well i ended up getting a zune, had it for a few weeks and thought it was terrible. So i got rid of it and got an 80gb ipod classic

The moral of the story: Always stick to apple

Even if they cost you silly amounts of cash!

I sat on my nano and the screen burst, I ain't a heavy person so it can be fragile.

Got the new nano and it's been tickety boo so far.

Ive had the ol Ipod Nano 4GB for 3/4 years now....And it works perfect...so thats alright
