Have a 5 GB and will soon have a 40 GB... wait, no, they are way too expensive. I guess I'll go for the cheaper 10 GB basic model then...
(At this time, all european Apple Stores will 'be right back') :D

Nope, but as soon as the iPods are updated, I am getting one.

I currently have a 10GB iPod. Unless they do something amazing to the battery life, I will probably just use mine until it needs an out of warrenty repair.

One o fthe changes to the battery that would attract me is the ability to have a battery that is swapable. I'd buy a second battery for an iPod in a heartbeat, even tho' I haven't gotten a second one for my PowerBook (yet).

I was ripping cd's this weekend, and it made me wonder about other people and their iPods.

I have a 20 gig model that I never thought I'd fill up. I was wondering what the capacity is of everyone's iPods and how many songs you have currently as well as available space.

I have a 20 gig model with a capacity of 18.5 Gig. There are 3289 songs (almost all ripped at the ~180bps rate) and I have 3.0 gig left.

There was a poll that covered the number of songs in iTunes while back. See thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?threadid=14493) for peoples comments.

As for the number of songs in my 10GB iPod, that changes as I change what music is in it. I've encoded my MP3s at VBR (160 minimum). I have a total of 62 gigs of MP3s made from my CD collection.

I don't have the need for an iPod. I think they are super cool but I don't really need one.

I have a 10 G iPod and currently have 1901 songs on it. I have found it works best as a replacement for my CD player in my car. No more fumbling around trying to find that CD for that song. Just select, listen and enjoy.

im getting an iPod soon,
but in iTunes i have only 6.52 gigs and 1170 songs
Total Time: 3 Days

I have a 10Gb. I never thought I would use it as much as I do. I sometimes wonder how I ever lived without it.

[pimentoLoaf]

If a 10gb model cost $150... sure, I'd spring for one.

It used to be that no matter how many cds I threw into my backpack or car, The one I *really* wanted to listen to was still at home. My 20gb iPod solved that problem. Now I don't have to pre-guess what I'll want to listen to on a 3 day business trip. My entire collection is with me (plus a couple of audiobooks and a backup of my website).

Life is good.

(BTW, for anyone who doubts that the iPod works like a Mac gateway drug, consider this: I was a lifelong PC user who bought a Win iPod last fall. Then I started checking out the iPod discussion forums on the Apple site. Then it was on to the rest of the Apple site... and yada yada yada... 4 months later I own a Powermac. I've just recently updated my iPod to Mac format. Buh-bye Windows.)

5GB iPod here. Best MP3 player out there.

[janey]

10gb...the prettiest and slimmest ;)

[senseibiz]

5 gig here, got it the first day it came out,
I take it with me everywhere I go.

[MacRumorSkeptic]

Yup, got a 5 gig when they first came out, updated to 20 gig when they first came out. The iPod has forever changed the way I listen to music and transport files.
