If you want good sound quality then you need to worry about how much memory you're going to want.  HQ music files take up more space.

R'NF man.if you want some honest advice,DON'T buy a ipod.I've had 8.From the 2nd gen 80gig to the 2nd gen 32gig touch and plentin between.the 3 I still have collect dust in a cigar box now.trust me,if you care about your tunes quailty and your wallet get a android phone and get a app called db poweramp.its about 5 dollars us.or if your real you unistall/reinstall every 14 days.
Let me tell you the advanges of this over a ipod.
1.expandable memory-ipods are set memory.what you buy is what you get.all androids are expandable(mostly up to 32gigs)and its easy to just switchcards.a32 gig card is quite cheap if you search around(about 40 us).
2.more format flexabillity-there are a few formats ipods wont play(though you can hack the older ones to do this it can brick it if you make a mistake)db poweramp will play any format except hd formats(lpcm,dts,ds,5.1 ogg,24-bit flac)but 90% of people don't have this stuff anyway.you can't unuseable formats,like flac with itunes either.
3.no additional softwear required -itunes is garbage.its a cpu hog,and a lil invassive.with this you drag and drop to your phone,done.
4.better gui-very customized, you can choose to select by tags,or folers.builtin EQ.download. missing art,etc.iplus you can edit tags and delete,convert tracks right on the phone.t reads. Cue,m3u,m3u3 and any other
playlist file.reacks to all headphone remotes,designed for mobile.plenty of options to make it right for you.
5.durabillity-ipods are made cheap.use it enough,headphone jacks die,whells mess,screens crack.I droped a ipod touch once and spidercracked it.I
dropped my touchscreen droid over 50 times at least.stiil no deep scrathes or cracks.
6.bluetooth-stream music from your home pc

My phone is a lg optimus.about 250 when it came out,around 100$ now.newer versions are around 200$ now.there many budget phones that will run this as well,though there not really meant for those with bighands.any droid phone will run it.


Only real downside-battery life.this only occurs if have battery wastings on your phone(wifi,3g).if you watch that,you can get about 12 hours on a full charge.
Hope that helps.

I don't know i've had an Ipod Video for like 4+ Years now and it's a trooper  it has been dropped and knocked so many times but it just keeps going, the thing about phones is not their not designed just to play music where as an Ipod is specifically designed for it ,plus with ipods you can get usb connectivity to car stereo so you can control it through your headunit plus alot of headphones come with controls that work on ipods.i also have an android phone but it drives the battery flat so fast plus if your playing music at a party or something you have to leave your phone by the stereo and if you accidentally unplug your headphones your music starts blasting out through the phones speakers which can be embarrassing lol.

1 word : Cowon...
It has all the advantages scatterbrain described, with a 50-60+ hours battery life.

I've had a Cowon S9 for 3 or 4 years, I use it on a daily basis and still charge it like once a month cause battery life is that good...
Plus the sound quality is superior to anything else you'll ever find, plus it can play any file format (audio and video included).
It's really amazing !

You should be able to pick a J3 for pretty cheap, as it's a few years old, but you definitely won't regret it !!!!

[scatterbrain]

I second the cowon.my buddy had/has one and he never had a issue with it.forgot all about those.thing played everything.

[rock_n_frost]

You guys saved me..
They are all also cheaper than having an Ipod.
Everything you point about ipod is really annoying.
Thanks Scat,Tarkil,NZ


Btw : I looked for LG Optimus models and Cowons. Cowon doesnt has a distributor in here (Turkey) So i have to buy it from Amazon and have to pay another 27$ for shipment. It is pretty expensive on our online shopping sites.
But i just ordered an LG Optimus P970 (300$). It looks awesome. Just like you said it has everything. Besides its phone, so i dont need to carry both mobile phone and mp3 player on me.

Thanks guyz, you are the best

+ Up and ready for this cold blustery fall day! Will spend it aptly napping and cuddling with my dogs while watching South Park and other mindless shit.

- First I must go to PT and before I do that, I have to draw Ducky from NCIS as a PT/art assignment. I seriously do not feel like drawing this old man...

++++++++++Going to be meeting them again and finally meeting Josh Eppard who is a personal hero of mine. A big inspiration for me getting off drugs and straightening my life out so maybe I'll get to thank him for that.
+++Koi No Yokan in only a couple days!!
++My band is finally getting into our groove and finding our sound and not to sound cocky but it's really coming together into something unique unlike any band I've ever played in. It's very exciting for us. New songs are heavy but really groovy and atmospheric.

You gotta be careful. Overworking like that can get your immune system so low, you'll be getting sick once a month. :/ I hope things get easier for you.
