Sure its small and cool, but it doesnt satisfy that need when u want a song. Heres an alternative, sell the ipod mini on ebay. If youre lucky, you just might get 300 for it. You'll definitely get at least 250. Take that money, give it to your sister, and she could buy an ipod mini or a 10gb new ipod or a dell dj. Just stick with your DJ and let her make the hard decision. __________________ Dell DJ15-about 11 gigs left

It's all up to you, but if you're planning to sell it on ebay, chances are you won't get less than $250. Ipod Minis are out of stock after all...

Now I'm sure giving her money going to make him feel better

Personally I think you should tell your parents that this decision will take some time, I would also inquire about some compensation. Use each player exclusively for a week, see how they fit your needs and then make a decision.

Then the choice becomes ovbious no?dont look over the software aspect aswell, itunes is nice, dudebox has similar features but at a cost __________________ Anshu Kerry 2004 Dell DJ-15 l 60% Full l 1693 Songs l 193 Albums l Leather Flip Case l Fontopia 71's Dell Inspiron 5100 l P42.4 l 512 l 60gb 7200rpm l 64 Radeon 7500 Updated Song Choice(ITMS)
