They seem to be the go these days and have been told it is a "must" to have, especially when out walking. Anybody have one and would you recommend them!

I would not say they are a "must" have item at all but yes it does seem that a lot of people do have them for everyday use. I do not, but then I cannot stand noises directly into my ears either, which probably explains why. Our son got one before he went overseas last time, and recorded all his music onto it but it was stolen from one place where he was staying. Most annoying, and even though he did get it cheap as part of a package deal when he got the computer, it still cost a lot of money. So he survived the rest of the time he was away without it, although he did say that he missed having one when he was moving around. Also he had recorded a lot of true blue Aussie music on it, which he probably missed more than the iPod itself. LOL This time around he has just bought a new laptop computer, and has loaded all the songs onto it. I would say they could be a great thing if you want to shut out noise and don't mind noise directly into your ears. If you do go walking, then they could help you in that direction. Good luck caramello with your decision and yes I believe they can be a good thing with many uses as juicemilk has indicated in her response.

Okay ossie maybe not a "must" but that was going to be my excuse for telling hubby that I need to buy one! lol That is so annoying for your son to have had it stolen, does not matter how cheap or expensive something is it still belongs to that person. I think I like the way you can have the songs you would prefer to listen to on it and that it can take your mind off things that you are trying to put aside, just for a break!

I don't have one, but have been wanting one really bad. I just am trying to get out of debt so I am holding off on this expense. I have friends who have some but I don't know the brand. I will have to check and post back.

I think I am the last person on the planet to understand ipods. I don't have one and don't think I need one. I guess when out walking it would be nice but I also enjoy silence. I like to walk and think things through. I do the same in my car, I often have music on, but I also like to not have it on. I think people these days (I sound old lol) need too much stimulation or they think they are bored. If they took the time to enjoy the silence they might be a bit happier.

well I wouldn't say it is a 'must' but I have one and I love it :) Most of the time I'm alone in my office at work and I don't have phones to answer so I have my iPod connected to my my PC and listen to my music through iTunes. I also use it going to and from work. At home we have a stereo system specifically for the iPod so you can just connect the iPod to it and play all the songs from your collection on it. It is so handy to not have to worry about changing CD's or anything, and the sound quality is really good! But you should be able to connect your iPod to most any stereo with the right cables :) So I would definitely recommend them, plus they have come down quite a bit in price now, I paid $500 for my 30g one, and there are now around $380

Okay thank-you juicemilk it looks like I will have to invest in one. Might take some time for me to understand how to use it, but I guess it comes with instructions! lol And that is good that they have come down in price, thought I might try e-bay!

I have one and love it so much...I got the ipod video, in fact I got mine for free! :) if anyone is interested in getting one for free you can go to www.ipodsweepstakes.com. Complete offers and they really do ship them to you. Notice I didn't put my referral link on here, just a link to a site where you can get one for free. I'm working on my second ipod video now, should have it in a few months! :)

my hubby has one, he likes it when he works out. i don't i'm always home so i feel if i want to listen to music i'll just put my computer on and listen to my downloaded music. but my 7 yr. old wants one. idk if i want to get him one, i don't think he needs it, he only listens to music when we're in the car.

My son got me an IPOD NANO for my 50th birthday! He knew that I was spending a great deal of time in the garage working out on various exercise equipment and hated to try to keep changing the CDs on an old CD player that I took out there! I have enjoyed the IPOD a great deal....although my kids are having to help me! I also use it when I go walking.

i wish i was..lol. i take the train everyday to work and sometimes it would be nice to listen to some music. i would love to have an ipod nano, been thinking of getting it for a looooong time, but i still have yet to do so. ipod's are very costly where i live so i cannot afford it T_T ..perhaps someday..
