8GB Nano is Apple's second chance
Love the iPod, hate the fragility of a hard-drive based version and the rubbish battery life of my 4G model (on days that it deigns to work), so an 8GB Nano is my second iPod.
Since I'm mid-way through the task of encoding all my CDs at 320kbps it's going to be quality, not quantity. 320k on a Nano is undoubtedly overkill but short of creating a second set of lower bitrate CD rips, I'll still be able to fit in around 900 songs.
What to put on it? I'm thinking about new stuff only. Apart from the singles I haven't listened to the full albums from bands like Snow Patrol and Arctic Monkeys. Also I want to try much-hyped artists such as Amy Winehouse to see what all the fuss is about.
"This would be a perfect introduction to iTunes!" you exclaim. Indeed - except that I still buy my music on CD and rip it at the bitrate(s) I want...
