I bought this for $40 right before Christmas and love it: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...747af09b0fen02

Like a couple others have said, the drag and drop to put songs on is easy and I currently have 1000 songs, 3 hours of video, 20 or so pictures and still have 3.0GB left on it. It doesn't seem to eat up space like my iPod used to and I don't have to use iTunes or multiple convertors to get the files in the right format. I drag the file, it asks me if its okay to convert it to the right format and I click yes. Done!

What I didn't like about iPods is that I've had 2 different ones and both times they just stopped being compatible with my computer out of the blue. My shuffle lasted six month, my Nano 13 months. It would be midway through charging and I'd get an error popping up saying it no longer recognized the device. I had made a call to Apple about this since the one was under warranty still and they said that if I wasn't running it on an Apple computer this tends to happen because they are designed to be compatible with an Apple first and others second. The agent said if I wanted more life out of my iPods to get an Apple computer. Shortly after I bought a Samsung YP-S3 and it lasted 4 years before it was met by a watery grave.
