1. It depends on how much you want to pay. I believe the regular iPod goes for $200 and the video for $300 but the shuffle, which holds about a hundred songs, only costs $100.

2. You won't pay less that $100, depending on what kind you're looking for. If someone offers any iPod for cheaper than that, I would steer clear because you don't want to be tricked into buying an iPod that doesn't work.

3. I would look for 'brand new'. Buying a used iPod is a little bit of a gamble, just because it's an electronic device and you never know what could be wrong with it.

4. Absolutely. I love my iPod and I couldn't live without it.

5. Yes, you can, with iTunes (which is the software that comes with the iPod). iTunes can convert any song into a format that will allow your iPod to play it.

6. None, really, except that an iPod is a lot bigger a responsibility than a cd player or something like that because they're expensive. So if you have it out with you for whatever reason, always make sure it's there and never leave it anywhere because you'll almost certainly not get it back.

7. I don't think it matters.

001. Two suggestions:

-First: If you want something that will hold enough songs and not cost as much, then go for the 4 GB iPod Nano. You can store files, photos, and music; its light and very small; not as expensive as the others.
-Second: If you plan to use your iPod to hold files, videos, photos, and a lot of music (more than 2,000), then I would suggest the 60 GB iPod Video. It has the longest battery life span out of all the iPods, and works great with holding videos and large files for back up.

002. Not too sure. If its new, go for something under the original price.
iPod Nano
-1GB = $149
-2GB = $199
-4GB = $249
iPod Video
-30GB = $299
-60GB = $399

So if you can find something under those prices, then go for it.

003. Hmm...maybe a guarantee that it is new and unopened [if that is what you are looking for]. Look for any kind of guarantee so that you aren't ripped off. Also, make sure that you are buying more than just the iPod itself, such as cables, booklets, headphones, CD, etc.

004. If you use it to its fullest extent, yes. I use it to transfer files from one computer to the other, watch TV shows on long bus/car/train rides.

005. Yes. If you don't have it already, download iTunes for free: www.itunes.com . It works as a jukebox and you don't need an iPod to listen to music there. You will need it if you do have an iPod though. Simply find the folder where you have all of the music shared and open it under iTunes or click and drag it into the iTunes library.

006. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
That compares and contrasts all of the iPods - very useful.

007. I'm not 100% sure, but I would not think so. I had a 3rd Generation iPod, and they were all recalled if you bought them before a certain date. Battery life did not last long, as in after a few months it would only last 5 hours on a full charge. It probably is not the best compared to the models out there. Apple has stopped making some models, so it would be to your benefit to buy something they are currently making.

Why? Well you can get the protection plan for sixty dollars, which is insurance for two years - definately worth it. Hope that helped and good luck.
