I mostly listen to music off my iPhone 3GS but my main iPod is a 30GB 5th gen video that is white.
Got a tip for us?

Well until today it was my stone age 4th Gen HP branded 20GB iPod.
Looks like the hard drive finally gave up the ghost
I've taken it apart a number of times in the past to swap batteries, etc.
I've kept this sucker going for ages but it looks like if it is the hard drive, it's probably just not worth putting any more money into to keep going.
I really just left it in my car under my center console hooked up to my iPod cable.
I keep hearing people say to find a 5th gen on clearance but am not sure where everyones finding them at. Does anyone have any tips? I'd be fine with a 16GB Nano even. Just need one with a iPod connector so I can use my stock radio and steering wheel controls.

iPod Touch 4th gen for the most part.
But I also use my old iPod Nano 4th Gen. to play music in the car.

iPhone 4. Although if I could I'd have a 5th Gen 16GB Nano. The new nano doesn't do it for me.

Three iPods get regular use in our home.
- 2nd Gen iPod Nano (Red) - 4GB
- 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle - 1GB
- 5th Gen iPod with video - 30GB
- 2nd Gen iPod Nano (Red) - 4GB
- 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle - 1GB
- 5th Gen iPod with video - 30GB
I must admit that I like the brushed blue on the 4th gen nano more than the polished look on my 5th gen nano (which is my main iPod; see my sig), partially because the 4th gen's vibrant blue matches my V-moda Vibe's blue accents exactly.
Nevertheless, I waited for the 5th gen instead, and haven't regretted it. It holds over 1,000 tunes, including my most-listened songs and a random sprinkling of others, a couple dozen music videos, a handful of Looney Tunes for placating my kid when she gets fidgety, with room to spare for a movie or two. I recorded a Disney vacation with it some months ago as well.
My 2nd gen nano still gets some play around the house or when doing yard work, usually mounted in a Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere.
Well, my main "iPod" is acutually my iPhone 3GS. If not, then I have a iPod Nano (4th Gen) for my workouts.
Let's see: mine is a 32G 2nd Gen Touch.
My daughter has a 8G 2nd Gen Touch
My other daughter a 30 GB 5.5 iPod
My wife a 16G 1st Gen Touch
I also use a 60GB Rev. 5.5 iPod
Buried in a drawer is a 15GB Rev 3 iPod (w/firewire)
We also have about 3-4 Gum Stick shuffles floating around that get used for workouts, bus rides etc.

80g iPod Classic Silver. Keep it plugged in my car stereo adapter 24/7...out of sight, of course.
I keep a few songs on my iPhone, as well as a few movies.

I still rock the 4th Gen black and white. I still love it. When it ceases to work, I'll find another and buy it. Just something great about and iPod with the main function being playing music.
Has "Don't steal my iPod." engraved on the back.

This was the one that got stolen allowing me to replace my palm tungsten E and it with a new touch. I loved the way it fit in my hand. Originally a 20g, I had upgraded the hardrive a couple years past.
I have the latest ipod touch (8GB model) which was a waste of money in the sense that I already have ran out of space,should have gotten a larger model.Perhaps the Ipod classic.
Hands down the iPod Classic. Holds the most tunes as I have a huge music collection and it's the only iPod that holds the most music - 160GB total. I have the iPhone 4 and I take books on tape, or instructional mp3s with it but I have to have my iPod Classic for music only!
I have a Touch, Nano, Video, Shuffle, and 120gb Classic. I use them all for different purposes, but my Classic is my go-to iPod, and definitely my main music player.
For walking around and gym use, my iPhone 3GS. I also use a 30GB iPod Classic connected to my Alpine stereo in the truck.
iPhone 4 32g for everyday use but mostly an old (from 2006) iPod Classic (wasn't called the classic at that time !) for the car filled with almost everything i have on iTunes !
My current day-to-day iPod is my iPod nano 5G. It's only 8 GB so I'm beginning to be a bit close to needing something bigger so I may get a classic at some point in the next year.
