Try apple refurbs they come as new condition and you get a years guarantee. Each year they bring out new models which have larger capacity, are smaller and have new features yet cost less! Depends on how much music you listen to, how often you will use it etc what model to go for. The touch is basically an iPhone without the phone function! You can get all the apps, games and search the Internet etc (as long as you have wifi access). If its just for light use a shuffle will be fine, they are handy for the gym. The apple site will tell you how many songs you can fit on all the different capacities and could give you an idea of which would suit you best. If its solely for playing music there are plenty alternative cheaper brands the Sansa ones are great and have expandable memory too which means you can use a sd card to increase capacity. X
