So I've been looking at refurbished iPods online.
2gb nano for $99
4 gb mini for $99
6 gb mini for $129

What is the difference between nanos and minis?
I want to be able to have a decent amount of songs for trips and such, and I don't know if the 2 gb nano will hold alot.

 

i had a 4gb mini and i currently have a 2gb nano.. the nano is awesome. i have 200 songs on it, i have no idea how many songs it can hold though. personally, 200 songs is enough for me, i change them every couple months or so.

 

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but i believe that the minis were a previous generation. The nano is newer, as far as features nano has color screen and i believe the mini doesn't. There may be some interface differences like EQs, song rating system, smart playlists, and minor things but im not sure. Unless you're really picky the music will sound the same on either. One problem could be that if you mini ever had problems i would assume it would be harder to get repaired since it is an previous generation that is no longer made. As far as songs that can be stored in 2,4,6 gig ones it totally depends on the quality of the song. I just rip mine straight off of my cds and i get around 250-275 songs per gig on my video ipod. that could be low or high.

"What is the difference between the iPod nano and iPod mini? The currently shipping iPod nano replaces the iPod mini. Both models use the "Clickwheel" (which places pressure sensitive navigation buttons underneath the scroll wheel) introduced with the iPod mini, but the similarities between the iPod mini and iPod nano end with the "Clickwheel".
The iPod mini shipped in a colorful "ultra-portable (3.6 inch tall, 2.0 inch wide, 0.5 inch thick) lightweight anodized aluminum" case available in five stylish colors--silver, gold, pink, blue and green (four colors from February 23, 2005 to September 7, 2005 with gold no longer offered), each with a 1.67-inch "white backlit" monochrome LCD display. The iPod mini has either 4.0 GB or 6.0 GB hard drives to hold approximately 1,000 or 1,500 songs (encoded at 128-bit), respectively.
The iPod nano, on the other hand, ships in a "impossibly small" 3.5 inch tall, 1.6 inch wide, and 0.27 inch thick "iBook white" or jet black and stainless steel case with a 1.5-inch "blue white backlit" 16-bit color LCD display. The iPod nano has 1.0 GB, 2.0 GB, or 4.0 GB of solid state Flash Memory and can hold approximately 240, 500, or 1000 songs, respectively, in 128-Kbps AAC format and up to 15,000 or 25,000 "iPod nano-viewable" photographs (15,000 on the 1.0 GB version, 25,000 on the 2.0 GB and 4.0 GB versions)."

Hmmm. I was just talking to my dad about ipods. A 30 gig video is 179 on the site. Thats 80 bucks more than a 2gb nano, and you get alot more features.
I'm tied between nano and a 30gb video.

 

do the 30 gig, i got the 60 gig one and i got my whole collection of music and movies on it i love it

 

I wish I could fit my collection of music and movies on 1. I think I'd need atleast 3 80 gigs for everything. 1.3 ipods for music, the rest for movies. :rofl:

I'm thinking of doing the 30 gig. My dad asked if I wanted to wait and see for christmas, but 300 bucks is too much for christmas gift. I would be happy, but feel bad.

I'm still not sure. We might be switching to Verizon soon, and then I'll need to buy a phone, so that would be more money I'm spending. And I'm going to be putting together a care package for my friend, so that will be more money. :sad: I don't know what to do.

 

youre never going to listen to every song in your collection. just get a 30

 

You put listed janifer, see it?

 

common mistake... the D and N keys are pretty close together, RicoDeezNuts

 

thinking bout getting an ipod just for the car.
