I have an old (2005) iPod
I love it. I have it hooked up to the car stereo via a hand-knitted hardwired connection which charges it and plays into the aux input.

You do have to use iTunes with it though. Personally I can't see what all the fuss is about. It's easy enough to use, does exactly what it's supposed to, and it's not like you need to use it all that often.

Edit - OK, according to Lab, you don't have to use iTunes...

I don't see what the fuss is about either.

Also, I've got an ipod shuffle which is awesome for me needs as it stops me from selecting what to listen to and means I get to hear more good stuff that I otherwise wouldn't.

have had a variety of ipods over the last few years, and with the exception of the Mini, they have all been great.

and it seemed quite difficult to get hold of an older model.
Are they widely available (except ebay) or have you had yours for a while?

They have ridiculously large hard drives. The problem with older iPods is the battery starts losing charge after a year or two of heavy use.

but the only time I use mine without having it hooked up to the car is on long or medium haul flights. And I don't do them more than once or twice a year.

Exeter has some blindingly good ones
the hip-hop sax player and rapper, the mad lounge singer/trumpet player, the crazy old bluegrass guitar guy

all really talented

I suspect we may have different views of what defines talent

Next time he tries is when I'm there
I will snap the fucking thing in half over his head and ram the cable up one of his fucking nostrils.

Then shove his bow up his ringpiece. Sideways.

THere is an excellent
busker with a rotary organ in Leamington Spa.

He plays an excellent rendition of Airwolf.

a busker with a spinning penis is still a busker and should therefore be killed until he is dead.

Depends what you're looking for, a few questions therfore present themselves:
Do you just want something that plays music or something more iPod Touch like?

What size is your music collection and are you looking to be carrying everything or loading stuff off and on regularly?

Have you already made any purchases from iTMS or another provider?

What kind of budget do you have for the device?

What will be your main usage (walking, driving, exercising, something else)?

What format is your music currently in (mp3, m4a, flac, ape, etc.)?
