iPod Classic 160GB. Better battery life, and enough storage for my massive media collection (maybe  )

I wish they would've thrown that drive in the Touch. I'm not sure what to buy now.  |

I was going to order the iPod Touch, but I found out I'll be getting it as a gift.... so I'll wait a little longer. It's just cool.

You wouldn't believe how much I agree with you. I was totally split between the 2 when they first came out, but then I realized that I might as well get the Classic with the huge storage now, and a Touch when it drops in price and comes in larger storage capacities later (ex. a few years).

| I am amazed that the suffle is getting no love. It's a great litle player that you dont feel bad taking to work with you. Stuff it full of podcasts and your good to go. |

how do you select what you want to listen to on the shuffle ?
I thought it just shuffled.

I'm pretty sure that your joking but just to make sure...
It does have the standard buttons on the front to navigate your music (play, rewind,ff, etc etc) And a handy switch on the bottom to play your songs in the sequence you put them in. So if I'm listening to a podcast and I want to jump to another I hit the button and go. |

On the 1st gen shuffle, it looks like this:
Sorry about the German language, couldn't find it in English. The three positions on the rear switch are "Off", "Sequential" and "Shuffle".

cheers,
I looked up the new version earlier and saw the switch
I always assumed it just shuffled. 
BTW I did know you could skip to the next song if you didn't want to listen to a particular song, I just didn't think you had control of the order.

Why are you sure  
I've never been interested in the shuffle, I didn't get it. So I've never actually looked at one before and I've never seen one in the flesh. I have seen a picture of the front but never the switch on the back, which was why I assumed it just shuffled. After all it is called the Shuffle.

| Hey it was a honest mistake and I can see how you might not know if it could play strait if you wanted it to. But I thought you were pulling my leg so figured I would hedge my bets. |

I got the iPod Classic 80gb. The iPod touch was just too small for my ever growing music collection and when my dad bought a new MacBook I got £85 off  .
