Alas, my 1GB Sandisk MP3 player which lasted me well over five years and outlived eight pairs of headphones has died. I need a new music player. Obviously since I was fine with 1GB (dear god!) for so long, space is not that much of a concern for me. an 8GB would be plenty as it never really bothered me that much to plug it into my pc and change the songs around. I've been looking at the Ipod touch and I'm wondering if it would be right for me. The standard and nano iPods seem to be ridiculously overpriced to me, and if I'm going to spend the money I'd prefer something I can play around with too and the touch seems pretty cool with the apps and all that jazz. I'm not much of an apple fan, on the computer side I lean heavily to the PC side, but I know iPods are a whole different ballpark.
I also don't want to just go get one because "its the cool thing to have". I really hate when people do that. But at this point it does actually look like one of my best options. I've been looking though other options for mp3 player, but nothing seems to hold a bar to the ipod.
anyone have any inspiring advice for a confused potential buyer?
