There is a cool new option. A colaberative (spelling) effort between BMW and Apple.
Apparently 3 and 5 series BMWs can use their stereo controls from the car to manage an IPOD if connected.
Thought it was cool even though I cannot afford a BMW....or an IPOD (LOL).
I spend all my money on fishing stuffs this time a year.

Make sure your computer is capable of running the iTunes software before you get one. I think it only runs on XP, 2000 and MacOS.
They are pretty neat, but to be honest there are cheaper options.

My sister is an IPod fanatic, and here is what she has to say:
iPod is made by mac/apple and you can get them at the apple store,
apple website or some places like best buy/target...
there's a few types, the mini iPod (holds around 1000 songs), 15GB
(3700 songs), the 20GB (holds like 5000 songs), 40GB (holds like 10,000
songs)-- tell him to go to this website for more info...
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...ore.woa/71907/
wo/593ACN067jiM2quc9T02OvgzjSB/0.0.7.1.0.6.21.1.3.1.0.0.0.1.0
I have the 20BG which was like $300-something and Marcus got the huge
40GB which was like $500-- depending on how much music you wan to
store, the price varys. I think the 15GB is good enough for most users. |

I have the 15GB and use it for file storage 
If you use it on a PC you can share among many machines but if you use it on a MAC it supposedly gets sucked up into one machine and does not share well with other MACs.
If you have a PC and DON'T have a FireWire port, you'll need to buy the IDOCK for another 40 or so to interface between USB 2.0.
If you don't have a FireWire, you may want to look at the others out there. Don't get me wrong, the IPODs are pretty good... Ans the software is good too |

Depending on how much research you want to do, I think there are better and less expensive options.
Rio Karma's are cheaper, have better sound and much better interface with windows machines.
I River also makes some good MP3 players.
Sony just came out with a new one as well.
Check cnet.com under the MP3 player section, it will give you a bunch of reviews and where to buy at the cheapest $$
