text: i am going to purchase an ipod, any advise? i want it to hold alot of songs, and be affordable, but i also want it to be easy to use. i am going to jog, where does everyone else use there ipod? why can't you live without your ipod? i bought an ipod.  it froze, so apple warranteed it.  unfortunately, that one froze, as well.  it would just stop playing although the screen looked like it was playing.  usually, if you let the power run out (which it will because it won't let you turn it off), when you recharge it, it works again.  overall, i was unsatisfied with my purchase.    if you want a good mp3 player, i would recommend the creative zen.  i have one, and it works tons better.  even programming it is easier.
