That is true Aqua, I just like the idea of not having to plug in another module on top of the IPod. It was a hard decision to choose between the two.

Yeah... it's a definite convenience to not have to carry around a seperate piece for other functions. You'll end up with a backup just for all your mp3 player accessories. :p

Can either gadget or both download to a Mac?

Not sure on the Zen. The iPod can, although if you want the ability to download to both a PC and a Mac you might be disappointed.

Does the iPod support the USB vib option that one can now get for there phone and personal computer? Humming to the beat in more then one way.

Excellent question ^^^ ... if it does, I'm in! I need a new device to hook my usb to.

I do not believe the Zen Micro supports MAC. Sorry about that.

is ok...I'll have access to both ;)

I have a (pink :D ) iPod mini, 4GB. I paid around $200 for it, with tax and all it was $218. I don't even use CD's anymore, I get my music from iTunes. I wouldn't trade my iPod for anything!

I dunno what you all are talking about with all the add ons and stuff lol. I just use mine for music. From what I understand you can get them with color screens and all that too. It's a lot better than having to carry around a bunch of CDs and stuff to hear what you want, pretty soon mp3s are going to replace CDs anyway I think!

For those of you wondering about add-ons for your iPod here it is!!!

THE AUDI-OH - Vibrate Your Music.

The mesmerizing Audi-Oh is the very first vibrator that vibrates to the throbbing beat of music, sexy talk, or any external sounds. It's a pearl-shaped clitoral vibrator with a soft silicone butterfly and has a thin elastic harness that allows you to strap it in place. The Audi-Oh will then vibrate to music coming from your stereo or directly from your iPod, other MP3 player or portable music device while you listen through your headphones. You can even wear the Audi-Oh discreetly under your clothes while you "dance with yourself" at your favorite dance music club. It will even pulsate to the sounds of your partner talking dirty to you. The Audi-Oh can also be used as a variable-speed vibrator without any music input.

The vibrating egg inside the butterfly is approximately 1 1/2" long and 1/2" wide. It runs on one 9-volt battery, which is not included.

Check out the pic in the link below...........who's gonna tell her she's not using it quite right?!?!?! :D:D

So I'm about to head out to Christmas shop and pick up an iPod - Merry Christmas to ME! So tell me, where do you download your tunes from?

I bought an MP3 player they had on sale at Radio Shack on Black Friday. I had such a hard time deciding between it and an iPod. I hope I did ok.

maddy,

My children just rip from CDs. That still gives them room to design their own music sequences.

I bought my husband an IPod from Sams in October since he listens to so much music. He puts music from his CD's on it and goes to itunes.com if there's a new song out.

I have the ipod mini 4 gig version. I havent had any problem at all out of it, and i love it. It can hold up too a 1000 songs more then enough for my needs.
