Als u voet op mijn oprijlaan stapt, die won' t schade mijn oprijlaan. Nochtans, it' s niet uw oprijlaan. It' s mijn, en als I don' t wil u op het, hebt u geen recht.

It’s a basic matter of property rights.

Ipod:
Charges on your computer, unlike SOME mp3 players that use batteries. You get a MUCH better charge than you would get from a mp3 (lasts longer). It’s easy to turn on/off and it’s very simple. The nano, as I’ve talking about, holds plenty of songs. Maybe somewhere around 200 songs. EXAMPLE: 20 songs in my ipod nano only takes about 68 MB when ther is 966 MB to use.
You can buy a lot of cool things (most of them, expensive) to go with your ipod, like sterios. The ipod is slimmer, and easier to take places.
Here are the cons… ipods tend to run more money. The ear buds that you get with them really just stink and have poor quality after the first 1-2 weeks. Any headphones/ear buds that aren’t from the apple or ipod company, will also ruin the quality of your songs also. If you want to get a qaulity set of headphones/ear buds, you’ll have to go on the itunes shop and buy some of about $50. That’s somewhat ridiculous.

It’s also slower to sync songs on. If you have CD songs you want to download, you’ll download first onto media player. Then, you have to download a program from itunes, much like the media player. That will sync your songs for you. It’s difficult to learn though.

MP3:
Mp3 players include the radio, unlike ipods. Even some of the cheapest headphones will work with it. You can get any kind of mp3 for $40-500. There are some like ipods, like the philips brand (pricey). This brand charges with the computer. RCAs are pretty good as a first mp3 (experience).
You can’t buy songs from itunes, that only works with an ipod. There are other places that sell downloadable songs, like walmart and amazon. Some cheaper, some a few cents more than itunes 99 cents each song.
As for space, it all depends on how much space you buy. The more GB, the more space. Though MP3s seem like they goe through more space easily.

I can’t tell you which one is better, they seem like they have the same amount of advantages/dis-advantages. Hope I helped!
