Apple iPod mini 1st Generation Silver (4 GB) MP3 Player

I was looking for a basic MP3 MUSIC player with a convenient size. This iPod Mini fits the bill perfectly. I'm still learning how to use it and get acquainted with the new system (I had a Dell DJ prior) but my wife and I love the shape, size and design and the quality is top notch. We didn't want or need a video display, just wanted to hear some tunes. We also got a nice bonus with the iPod we purchased because it came with all the original boxes, software, manuals, cables and lots of extras that are very nice. And, the previous owner/ seller obviously took immaculate care of this and has been very helpful with great communication and keeping in touch if we have more questions so we really had a great purchase experience. As for the basic product itself, I do recommend it highly if you just want a basic music player that holds plenty of music at 4gigs and is very portable in size (just a bit larger than the Nano but more memory). The only issue I have to date is with the function wheel that is on every Apple iPod. It really takes some getting used to and practice to master it. My wife is very good with it, I'm still practicing! But it is a great little machine and Griffin and other companies make a ton of cool extras that work with the Mini, such as a double headphone adapter, an FM iTrip attachment that programs to a radio fm station so you can play the iPod through a stereo or in the car, and a great extra long lasting power adapter with ports that can be used to hook up other small devices like cell phones, etc. If you are considering a basic small MP3 player, then I really think you can't go wrong with the Apple Ipod Mini. If you have already built up a large library of music using Windows computer and Musicmatch Jukebox, then I'd also recommend the Dell Pocket DJ MP3 player. It is no longer made or sold by Dell, but you can find them on Ebay. It is a simple player and very easy to use. Happy shopping!
