If you buy more than one, you're more apt to lose one of them because you may leave it in the car in plain sight or at work or at the gym, or whereever. If you only have the one - and remember the one - then you should keep it with you and it'll be a little poke to your brain to go get the iPod whenever you walk out of the gym, get out of the car, whatever, without the iPod in your hand. If you have two, you'll think "oh, I have the other one" and not care enough about keeping both of them 'safe'.I mean, if you have enough money and don't care....get however many you want; however, I can't just toss money out for 2 iPods so I buy one and treat it well.

I have a 60 GB too, it holds everything - audiobooks, podcasts, entire music collection, etc. I listen to my podcasts through the car dock, and I use playlists at work (I teach yoga, and would never listen to that kind of music just for fun, lol).But, it really is too big and heavy to work out with - hanging from my waistband, I was afraid it would either pull my pants down or fall off and break! So, my hubby got me an iPod Shuffle for Christmas 2007, and it's the world's most perfect workout buddy. I keep it loaded with all my pumped-up fun tunes and I actually look forward to working out. Plus it clips right to my shirt and weighs like an ounce, so it's perfect.I'd never give up either one of them!

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

i have a large Classic that lives out of site in the car.I also have an iPhone and touch that I use for calls/games and development (respectively)iTunes 8.x makes managing multiple iPods much easier than the old versions.

I had a nano 2nd generation until recently when I upgraded to the classic 120. The nano and I had good times and I consireded keeping it for the gym and what not. BUt I love my music so much and my taste varies from hour to hour that I would rather keep the classic with me at all times with my entire music collection and create several playlists within it than keep my nano and not have everything I want at any given moment. So the nano will be inherited by my mom this Christmas. Yep, thats right, some seriously early "Christmas shopping" ;-)

There you go. Great insight. No correct answer, just, "you might consider". I'm not rich and want to spend my money wisely. Thank you very much!

My bad. I'm such a rookie. I have ordered my ipod thru Amazon, but only seen it up close in a display counter. So at some point I will truly realize what is small, big, heavy and delicate. Thanks!

Thanks for your viewpoint. I am starting big (120 GB), and to come across a little guy for those care free jaunts could be of interest. I do like your "heavy" reference...Funny.....

Two identical iPods wouldn't make much sense. But I have a full size Classic (for work) and I'm considering buying a Nano for the gym because it's smaller and lighter.
395999
ok what i did was i bought a 120 gig classic to hold all of my music. Now for photos and random videos and a couple songs i've downloaded on the spot i have my 32 gig touch. So i have my classic jor just music and a touch for everything else!

Help - anybody. I bought an 8gB i Pod so I could copy music to my hard drive using i Tunes and then copy to the i Pod, so that i could listen to my music, already bought and paid for.When i Tunes captures the CD, if it shows the title and all the names of the tracks I can successfully get it onto the i pod. But if it simply shows eg. 10 tracks with no artist or track names it will not copy to the hard drive.Question: are some CDs copyright protected in some way? If they are it seems a shame as all I want to do is play the music on a different medium

Yes, that's what I use if for...I'm actually back to buy one for my wife. There are separate clips for each of the different ipod sizes.

I found the Ipod nano 5generation to be the best Ipod I've ever owned. Have been through 5, why five you ask? The other couldn'tm keep up with my sports. Ipod works and will be with me for a long time. Highly recomend. Cost might seem high, but you sure do get what you pay for!

Yeah, personally I can't imagine trying to use a shuffle for books or podcasts even. I also had a second gen shuffle die on my in only a few weeks. IMO you really want at least a nano.

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's the only problem I'm finding with this iPod function. I hate that I can't shuffle the songs. Can anyone help?? Thanks.
1105737
Most definitely. I currently have 11 apps and 4,343 songs. Phew! Anyway, I actually want more on my iPod but it is very close to being full. I can fit a couple more albums on there but that's about it. I have the 32 GB and I wish I could have afforded the 64 GB version because then I won't run out of space. 32 GB is definitely a lot but for me it's certainly not enough! :)

I'm with those who advise contacting Fitbit, so they can reunite the found Fitbit One with its rightful owner. And I'm puzzled at those who say you need to buy the dongle. Does anyone actually use that thing? I synchronize with my phone or my iPod Touch, and have never used the dongle. Since it's the same price as the charging cable (which I think is too expensive), I wish I could have gotten a second cable, instead of the dongle, when I bought my Fitbit One.

I was a bit confused when ordering these myself but I eventually figured out that you only get one. From what I understand, some people only use one of these(usually in mono setting) for an honest representation of your mix. Lets you hear possible 'errors' like how things are sitting in the mix. I personally purchased two of them although using one is plenty. Its just for a secondary reference along side your main monitors.

Unfortunately, this has happened three times to my multi-changer units. I have had the multi-changers refurbished for a bit under $100 twice through Bose, and I plan to do the same with my spare. I use the CD slot in disc #1 - the Wave unit - so I don't have to replace it, so I use slots #2 through #4 on the multi-changer unit. I hope to continue to get all my CD's on a hard drive so I can use the Wave III with the Bluetooth. Best of luck.

You can only play one CD at a time. My husband and I love this player (over a year later). We use the record player and iPod hook-up most often, and it has never failed us. I hope that this helps!

If you have more than one child like I do, getting the app is better because you can install them on up to three devices- so no fighting over cartridges or losing them (I've found them everywhere). At first I thought cartridges were better because you can resell them, and if you resell your leappad with apps, once you change the info over- which you have to do if you want to buy something else, the previously purchased apps are gone. However, if they get broken, stepped on or lost, not only do my kids not have them to play with, there is no resell value at all.

I realize this may not work for everyone, but I have 2 daughters and we all three share the same i-tunes library on our desktop computer at home (which is backed up to an external hard drive for extra storage). We set up folders for each of us (Mom-workout, Mom-Old Jams, S-Country, S-Old Stuff, V-Disney, etc) and selected the "manual sync" option on our Ipods. You can have several Ipods on a library so it's really easy.... Then, we can drag and drop the songs from our library onto our individual play lists as we choose. When you plug in your Ipod, you select the playlists you want to sync only. It's pretty simple and convenient for us. AND, we are not purchasing duplicates or uploading CD's multiple times. Good Luck!

We each have our preferences, but listening to books on a shuffle is certainly not one of mine. As has been pointed out, there's no way to see where you are in the book, and it doesn't use a scroll wheel like a nano or other ipod to make finding your place easy. Since I usually convert CD audio books to MP3 and ipod formats I've found that when you have a long book (say 12-24 CDs), it's quite easy to lose your place if you ever do anything else with your ipod (and you certainly can't do much with a shuffle), it can be incredible PITA to get back to where you were. I finally dumped my shuffle.I'd recommend a nano (5th Gen is superior to the newest model in my opinion) or anything with a screen.

I buy electronics used all the time. If they are unacceptable, then you just call Amazon. I bought an iPod Suffle used and it's fine. Back when I sold my old IPod, it was perfectly fine, but they had just came out with the video iPods and I got one as a graduation gift. Really no need for two regular iPods, so I sold my old one because the video one was cooler. I got the iPod Shuffle because it's lighter and easier to clip to my shirt when I exercise. My advise? Be VERY aware of exactly what the description says. If it says it's scratched, but works well, then you don't get to be ticked off when it's scratched when it arrives. They TOLD you it was scratched. Also, pay close attention to the seller's rating. Do not buy from anyone who has less than a 94% customer rating. If you do, then look to see why people gave them a low rating. Often, it's just that the item took too long to ship, which in the scheme of things isn't a big deal when saving a ton of money. Just make sure it doesn't say "Item broken, tried to return it but the guy wouldn't respond" kind of comments. You are protected to a certain extent under Amazon.com when you buy from individual sellers.

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

I bought the 3 bikes version. I don't really wish that I had bought the 2 bikes version instead tho. It is nice to know that you can carry 3 bikes instead of 2 and that 1 bike space is pretty convenient to me. I always leave a space in between bike because it's easier for me to space them and tie them down instead of having 2 right side by side with a risk of scratching each other (I always tie them down so they don't swing around). Having 3 bikes on them kinda makes me worry because they don't seem to be the most stable rack out there. When I have 3 bikes I made sure to go slow. Most of the time I won't have up to 3 bikes tho.
