Any of you folks know about IPods and stuff like that?

I'm thinkin' about buying an Ipod or something similar to it for when I go walkin' and stuff. I'm looking for one that plays mp3's AND picks up FM stations, do any of yall know of anything? I dont want one of the super expensive ones, lookin' to keep under $150. I was looking at the IPod shuffle, which seems like it would be perfect for me, except I dont think it picks up radio... So what would you guys suggest? Thanks much.

get urself an ipod nano and get an itrip to go along with it. itrip is the thing that lets u get radio stations.

i don't think they make and ipod that mp3 and fm reciever. but there are other companies that make that, i can't think of it off the top of my head.

daddy: the itrip is a fm transmitter, it sends music over an fm station in (most common use) car headunit.

Thanks for the advice, thats exactly what I was looking for. Lil bit pricier than what I was expecting, but oh well lol.

Note to self; Read all posts before ordering lol..

Well anyways, after cancelling my 2 orders, I'm back at step 1. Any other suggestions? It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to put an FM reciever inside a portable mp3 player... I mean walkman's back in the 80's had em... now we are 25 years later lol. Thanks for any help.

I ended up goin' with an iRiver from Circuit City for $149. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for, only downside is it uses 1AA battery instead of being rechargable, but oh well lol. Thanks very much for the input.
