What mp3 player to buy?

Lectures that are 20-min, 30-min, 1-hour, or longer are going to take up a lot of space on an mp3 player. So, you will want to spend the extra money to buy an mp3 player with a lot of storage space - 8GB minimum. If you plan to also use the mp3 player to listen to music, and you are a beginner to mp3 players, I will also recommend that you buy a brand-name iPod. Other mp3 players are cheaper and will serve your purposes, but brand-name Apple iPods require the least amount of work, have the best support available, and require less maintenance.
