My partner is wanting to get something that she can take on road trips and airplanes that will do mp3 for her own voice recordings as well as lossless format for music.
She has an iRiver for recording, but it will not do much in the way of playback.
..also, the Nano doesn't sound as good. I understand that it has a flash drive rather than a hard drive. The secret of the IPod is that you must use good earphones to really hear it. It is excellent
Thanks again for all the excellent responses! Looks like the 80G Classic is the way to go, since the firmware updates have resolved the problems I read about.
Any recommendations for headphones (rather than earphones)?
For comfort, portability, price and decent sound I've found the Sennheiser PX200 hard to beat. It doesn't provide the kind of isolation that earphones or closed headphones do so for plane travel I use the noise-cancelling version, the PXC250. I have a friend who likes the AKG K26P a lot, for the same reasons.
