Right, I've long been a "Meh, Ipods sucks". However I got a Christmas bonus so I have money to spend. I have a Sony player, which technically is brilliant but functionally it's getting on my nerves. The software is crap - it can take like 10 minutes to rip and upload a single album. The player also seems to love a stall. I've sometimes had to wait a minute for it to go down by one artist in the list.

Ipod classic 80gb has got massive capacity, looks good, and seems a bit of a bragian. But my traditional Ipod? NO! thoughts are clouding me.

Advice please
