Somedays I am in a classical mood, somedays I am in a metal mood, somedays I am in an everything mood. It would be nice not to have to upload new music everytime I am walking out the door.
If I can put 2 or 3 hundred mp3s onto one device and not worry about hearing a repeated song for 2 or 3 days straight of playing music then I see that as a bonus.
At least locally the 64 and 128 meg ones are in the 100 to 200 buck range, the 5 gig ones are in the 300 to 400 range, and the 20 to 40 gig ones are in the 500 to 600 buck range.
One other feature I like about the bigger drive ones is that you don't have to use all the space for mp3s. You can store files on them too. I have gone to many places to fix computers for people and had to bring with me 10 to 15 CDs with stuff on them just to make sure I had all the stuff I needed. Now a laptop would have been nice with all that stuff, but as long as the computer had a USB port having all the stuff on my mp3 player would have been very handy. Less stuff to carry around in the end.
Heck even just grabbing a bunch of files and bringing them over to my friends would be so much easier with an IPod or nomad for storing all the files and listening to songs.
