IPod vs. IPod Mini

[Sasage]

Sup Guys,

Recently I have decided to get an mp3 player. Now I am trying to narrow it down between the Ipod and the Ipod Mini. I have about 2,000 songs right now which take up about 11 gigs of space. I would obviously need the Ipod to fit all my songs on there. But the smaller size appeals to me and I don't think I would ever sit and listen to 72 straight hours of music.

What are your thoughts on getting one over the other?

well an ipod mini has 4 gigs and you said that you have 11 gigs of music so i would go for the regular ipod

[tesco]

depends.
I would have gotten the iPod mini if they weren't sold out and the 20gb i got for only 20dollars more than a mini costs anyway...

really it just depends on whether u need the extra space or not.
the regular apparantly has a longer battery life too.

I have over 600GB of mp3s, so a smaller iPod for convience makes more sense to me. I can't put my entire collection on there, so i'd prefer the smallest model possible.

I'd rather hold off of MP3 players.. read on tomshardware that the new 5.1 mp3 formats are going to be out by the end of this year and the files are going to be useless on current mp3 players O.o

they wont be useless, they just wont be able tp play them in 5.1, the will still play them in nornal stereo.

5.1 mp3s
so then you need headphones with 4-6 speakers in them
