Buying your very first mp3 player means that there are some things that you'll need to decide on before you make you final choice and start loading your new iPod with music.

You'll need to decide how much room you want for your iPod, since there are several different sizes for you to choose from. If you have a lot of music that you want to put onto your iPod you'll probably want to have the large iPod, which is 40 gig. The two smaller choices for an iPod include 10 to 20 gigs. Any of these sizes of iPods will hold more than enough songs for most people.

Keep in mind that you can always delete those songs that you rarely listen to and replace them with those songs that you listen to more often. You'll also need to determine what type of a display window that you want your iPod to have. The Apple iPod, in the 10, 20, and 40 gig sizes has a great screen display that attractive and easy to use.

If you're too concerned about viewing what song is playing then you can choose the iPod Shuffle. The iPod Shuffle is new this year and will play your songs in a random shuffle. The one drawback about the iPod Shuffle is that it doesn't hold as much data as the larger gig iPods.

There are many reviews that you can find online or in magazines to help you decide which iPod is best for you and your music listening tastes. The iPod has become the world's most popular MP3 player of all time. This is due to both its great functionality and its great design.

Apple products continue to be top quality electronics that you can count on. Just look at the reputation of other Apple PC products that are becoming more popular each year.
