I've only used I heart radio (the same one lovespink just mentioned).

I've had an iPod classic and an iPod Touch. When I was buying my iPod Touch was debating whether to get an Touch or a Nano. I only have 8GB of music, so the Nano was good space wise. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the Touch, and it would be more convenient for running. But I went with the Touch because I like being able to use all the Apps and be online when I can. There's also an App called I Heart Radio. It lets you listen to live radio in your area (not all stations are available) and radio stations in different cities. However, you need to be on a wireless network in order to do that.

I have the 80GB Ipod Classic and have liked it because it holds all of my music plus movies. I've enjoyed watching movies on it when traveling by plane. I have to say though, now that I have my Droid phone, I don't use the Ipod nearly as much because it also holds all of my music. I still prefer the Ipod for when I work out, do yard work, etc. and it will be more convenient if I'm flying somewhere. I don't anticipate flying all that much for a while though.

Ok so I am not big on Pandora. I like Wunder radio because it allows me to get my local stations it picks up

So I'm considering an upgrade to an iPod, but I don't know what to get.

iPod Nano - I hear they play video. I like that. Do they have an FM tuner? What are the sizes?

iPod Classic - Same questions.

iPod Touch - My sister has one and loves it for the video capabilities and the fact she can get internet. That appeals to me a lot, if I'm out and about. But how is it for music?

So any opinions on these three? What would you recommend and why?

I too had never owned an iPod (or any other sort of mp3 player) until I got a 160 GB Classic this past Christmas.

Now I seriously wonder how I ever lived without it. I do alot of flying to the west coast (from Ohio) and my 4 hour plane trips have never been the same.

It doesn't have radio or internet capabilities (that I know of anyway lol), but I don't like radio anyway, and if I'm out and about and need internet, I have my phone.

Don't use iTunes to store your songs if you can help it, the thing runs like a pig (at least on my computer). I use WinAmp and it works MUCH better.

I tried it with WinAmp when I first got my iPod, and it almost corrupted everything (I had to DL a plugin to do it -- was endorsed by NullSoft, too).

Once you get used to it, iTunes isn't that bad.

I have an iPod Touch and a 2nd Gen Nano - can't live without them. The Touch really is like a little computer - I read GC on it a lot (but rarely post because I never got the hang of QWERTY texting).
