I have a 20GB Apple iPod - Capacity of 8000+ mp3's. Plugs in via the the aux and I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial. Now I need to get it out of the kid's hands!!!! :lol:

What is the IPOD worth?

I think what CJ means is a player that doesnt take a disk or card of any sort to play and with decent capacity to hold a fair amount of MP3's onboard that'll plug into the Aux plug.

That could be what he meant, but its not what solid-state means. :-) But I am also in the market for a decent high-capacity MP3 player and I'll probably go with an iPod or Nomad C, once I've paid for Christmas. :D

The ipod's are around the $800 mark and are said to be one of if not the best players you can get.

Depends on the size of the disk. There are 5, 10 and 20GB options, mine was personalised ie had my name engraved and is 20GB. Cost of $1045. My wife is going O/S and will take it with her and get refund of the GST so net cost approx $950. It also doubles as a spare HDD and uses the Firewire card to download to and from my PC. The iPods come in MAC OS or Windows now and comes with iTunes (Mac) or Music Match Jukebox (Windows). Download time for 2500 songs was 11 minutes using the Firewire.

an FM transmitter for the iPod so you can do away with the aux cable.

The FM Modulator solution may mean loss of high/low end frequency response if it does not have wide enough bandwidth ....It will also be susceptible to RF interference.
