i got the 60 GB ipod video for my birthday this year and its awesome. i have about 40 gigs on it. everything on it i like, but it doesn't necessarily mean i listen to everything all the time. its nice to be able to take an extensive library of music wherever you go, especially when someone says "hey do you have (artist/album name)?" and the answer is yes and you can just put it on. i don't understand why people hate on iPods. just because everyone has them? that is stupid.
