I've had a 20gig for about a year now and I couldn't live without it (ok that's exaggerating a little). Anyway, what I like about it so much is that I don't have to pick and choose which CDs to bring places with me, they're all right there.
I really don't care if I have one or not, I have plenty of ways to listen to music without laying down tons of money to buy a little music player thingy.
I don't have one and have no real use for one. I rarely listen to straight music, as music videos and music that comes on coaster videos intrest me more.
i dont have an ipod but i do have a creative zen micro, which is basically the same thing just a better deal, smaller thna ipod mini, holds 2500 songs, and its only $200.
