i guess it depends on what you're looking for: i think that would only hold like 50 songs...so if you arent looking for that many songs, that should be okay...but even the cheapest ipod has 10gb which is significantly more...we're talking like 750 songs. And its got really quick download rates, and you can sort the music into lists...and it recently became pc compatible...although you need windows 2000 or windows xp. So, even though its expensive...it is a good buy...i think...i havent got it yet though...so i dont know for sure.
