If your not big about show, you can get mp3 players that do exactly what iPods do and more for only like 30 bucks each

if you want an ipod but dont like the price go to the ipod website and get the referbished stuff, its as good as the new stuff and cheaper

I find Ebay is a great place for my gadgetry needs - the online stores/buy it now shops (the ones you know u can trust - see their feedback) they are brand new, always cheaper than the shops - shops around for a bargain. and you can even do it from the comfort of your own computer :)
