I agree that if you're not going to use the full capabilty of an iPod, it's probably quite a waste of money. I guess to answer your question "why buy an iPod?" I'd say, I hear you, $115.00 sounds much better than $250.00 until I factor in that the comparison being made is also 8 GB vs. 80 GB and no video capability for movies vs video capability for movies.

Don't get me wrong, I stayed away from the iPod for a long time because I just couldn't justify it (and still can't) as a stand alone mp3 player even with all the space; but, the fact that I can store my entire music library along with a decent selection of movies and view them on a handheld portable device that I can use when I'm traveling, or at my daughter's 3 day, hurry-up and wait, volleyball tournaments, it makes it pretty inticing to me.

That's my reason.

I guess there are many answers to this. I am against the illegal downloading of music. I would not condemn anyone for it however as I have many friends and kids that do.

But if you buy the artist's CD and treat it right you have it for the ages, and you can share it with all your loved ones .............. ;)

i had musicmatch for about a year and greatly enjoyed it .. bought about 200 songs 99 cents each .. then yahoo bought them out .. they have about a billion more songs than musicmatch did ..i bought yahoo membership then found out my dial up service will not stay online long enuff to download yahoomusic .. so now i have none .. same as with Mcafee virus protection ,, basic package worked fine then they make me buy an update and same results .. it wont download on my system .. stupid dial up ..

I buy from BMG Music - Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water were the last CDs. Ther're about $7 each for an average cost when you get 3. I still like having the whole 'album'.

I also use LimeWire from time to time.
But its been taking along time to connect lately.

Over the years I have acquired a lot of CD's (tapes, etc) and have recently been dumping them down to my MP3 player. I used to use my CD's in my car's cd changer, but recently I bought a new car stereo that has an IPod connection, an MP3/4 connection and a USB jack. You can copy music from a computer directly to a flash drive, but it only plays in the recorded order, no shuffling.

There is a website that I have used to buy custom cd's. Not real cheap, but you can pick and choose what songs you want on a cd. They burn the cd and send it to you. 15 songs on a CD, $16.95. MyMusicMaker.com - Your Custom CD Source.
They don't have everything, but they got alot.
