as many of you probably know, i sell iPods. ive finally caved in and decided to keep one for myself. i have never used nor even listened to one before. i know, kinda funny. i dont even know how to work one

anywho, ive been doing some research on them. im torn between keeping a 20g photo and a 30g video. i just found out that the new 30g video doesnt even allow you to put your own videos in!! like short clips of my kid or internet funnies. the only videos you can put on there are episodes of LOST and itunes music videos
i also found out that the new ones lost the output jack on top (or whatever its called) so most of the accessories are no longer useful. the only saving grace, from what ive read, is that the new ones supposedly have much more clarity.

so im kinda at a draw. i like how the 4th gens have more accessories to utilize (like remote control) but i dont want to miss out on the clarity. i plan to put my entire cd collection on here to use in my cars. im hoping it will sound as good on my system as a cd/radio does. can anyone tell me if the 4th gens are perfectly fine clarity wise? i want it to (hopefully) have cd quality. am i asking too much of this little thing?





I have the origional ipod mini, with a bunch of cd rups on it plugged directly into my cars head unit. The quality is very very good. I am runing mbquarts in the front with an eclipse 5441 (5v preouts) into an old school orion colbat amp.... so the sound equipment is of good quality. I highly doubt you will notice any difference in sound quality (or sound clarity) between the two units.
