i bought an ipod, absolutely love it. been real durable for me, and my whole family has one, no problems at all. a lot of my friends have em, none of them have had any problems.

about the car thing, if you have one of those adapters where you put a tape in the tape player than plug it in, or there is a car adapter thing, then there is the radio station thing too. i use it when im working, walking, driving, going on long trips, when im mowin the lawn, doin chores, walking the dog, i use it all the time! totally worth the money.
