With all the different iPod models, which one should you buy?
Models to choose from are 512MB or 1GB iPod Shuffle, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB iPod Nano or iPod, also called iPod with video, 30GB or 60GB. If you want to buy second hand, there are older models like iPod Photo, iPod mini and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation iPods. There are stores that still sell some of the older models.
Which one to buy depends on budget, requirements, and personal taste. First you
you need to know how you want to use it and how much music you want to be able to
have on you.
Many people are very happy to play one or two albums over and over again in a
day. If I were one of these people, I would buy myself an iPod Shuffle. They are the cheapest
Apple’s iPod and even the 512MB model will still hold, say, 10 albums. IPod
shuffle is the only iPod that does not have the dock connector. So if you plan
By connecting an accessory, you probably want an iPod Nano. Also, the iPod
Shuffle is the only Apple iPod that doesn’t have a screen.
The iPod Nano is an incredibly thin iPod. It comes in 1GB, 2GB or 4GB capacity,
which is enough for many people. Doesn’t play video, but shows your
Photographs. If you want an iPod that you can always carry with you, then Apple
iPod Nano is your thing.
If you are like me, and you listen to many different types of music and you like it constantly
listen to new music, get the 30GB or 60GB iPod if you can afford it. 60GB means you
it can store a few thousand music albums and some videos. Keep that in mind
videos take up much more storage space than music files.
To date, this is the only iPod that plays video, that’s why they call it the
IPod video.
Before buying the model that you like the most, think about how you are going to use it.
There are also many accessories available for each iPod. You can get a skin
cases, pouch, pouch, charger, speaker system, dock (to connect to your stereo), FM
transmitter (to receive iPod on your radio), all kinds of headphones, cables, car
third-party iPod adapter, battery and software, etc.
Also, I would like to encourage you not to download mp3 music for free.
file-sharing networks, as most of it is illegal music. For free music downloads, subscribe to
podcasts with Apple iTunes. There is a wide variety of music genres available for
free and legal.
As far as I know, there are no iPod games available other than the standard iPod.
games that come integrated.
