So the gal wants an MP3 player for Christmas this year, but she's torn on what she wants.
We've narrowed her preferences down to the iPod series, Nano 16GB, Classic 120GB, and Touch 16GB.
She'd like the Nano because the colors are nice, it's great for just having her music on, and it's the cheapest of the three.
She'd like the Classic because she has a considerably large CD/mp3 collection (5000-8000 songs), and it offers more space than the Nano. But it's also quite a bit more expensive.
She'd like the Touch because, even though it's less focused on music, the Wi-Fi capabilities are very handy. She doesn't get WiFi on her phone or anything, so she thinks she might like to try that out.
One of her caveats is that she'd like to be able to use it to listen to her music in her car, probably with an FM transmitter (that's what I use with my 4th Gen original). The FM receiver on the new Nanos is also pretty cool and she'd definitely use that, too.
So, opinions on the best choice? If you know of an alternate MP3-like device that offers the same features as the iPod line, let me know. I know the Zunes were pretty popular for a while, but I don't know how they hold up. My 4th Gen original has lasted since 2003 and only needed a battery replacement and a new HDD (both of which I did myself last year). So to me, that's a pretty solid piece of technology.

I can tell you that I love my iPhone, which is basically the same as the iPod Touch.

I love my ipod Touch. Also, if your car has an auxiliary input, use that
