What is the difference between an ipod(any version)and a mp3 player?
iPod is an MP3 player as well, but: – iPod plays MP3, plays AAC (MP3 succesor format) used by the iTunes store, does not play wma (microsoft format) that you might have downloaded from elsewhere – most MP3 players play MP3, do not play AAC that you downloaded from iTunes, some play wma Conclusion: if you manage to stick with MP3, it doesn’t matter what you buy, in other cases you’d better think before buying.
