iPod or not?

[LVSaint]

Looking for an inexpensive mp3 player for my wife who wants one to primarily sync to her car stereo aux input.

 

I have just been put off by the whole iTunes thing when using a PC and interfering with other software including WMP....from what I've heard.

 

I know with say the Walkman X and Sansa Fuze (really like this one) it's **** easy to just drag and drop downloaded albums and cd collections in their mp3 format.

 

However, she likes the ipod nano with it's video camera too and her daughter has iTunes from who she can get a lot of music from too.

 

What should I do?

Nice bit of kit for the price.

Never seen these before.

I just sold my old Creative Zen Vision M 30GB and bought an 80GB ipod classic.

The ipod is great but itunes is utter gash.

Can you explain?

 

I probably wouldn't mind having iTunes on my computer as I understand you can pretty much drop any MP3 file into it and it will transfer easily...providing to doesn't screw with anything else.

I have the ipod classic (160 GB). And I use i-tunes to copy over my CDs as WAV files. I also record BBC podcasts to my ipod via i-tunes.

 

I use the ipod mostly in my car - it sits in my glove compartment, connected to the car sound system via a cable.

 

Excellent set-up!
