Ipod Nano
Expensive, only works with itunes, cannot move music from ipod back to computer without downloading or buying a special program, big, HD, gmaes (depending on what type) 24 hrs battery life on 5th or 6th gen. 30 for 7th. Glass, breakable easily, expensive to replace, comes with good earphones, clip/non-clip (depending which modle) touch,
Sandisc
Cheap, plastic. Sandisc 10 hrs batter life, the sport is 25 hrs. (i dont like the layout of the sport, most people are complaining about it) not easily breakable, can transfer music from any type of file, just drag from your files on any computer, can put music from a sandisc back on computer, easy moving music. Clip on, earphones aren’t too good though. Choose how much GB you want with a mini memory card.
Also at least by me, frum schools and cities don’t like ipods since they have been associated with movies, and internet. (Even though not all can have, depending on your generation) Nice layout, easy to work with…
I bought mine in Israel…can’t help with that!
