I have been getting cds from my friends and importing the songs. I have enough songs for 4 or 5 days of music so I am set for that.

2. A method to play it in your car. |

I have the cassette adapter. They also have FM modulators.
Edit - buy a good hard case. The case that Apple sells is shit. Look for a case that allows access to the top and bottom ports as well as the scroll wheel.

I think it is a good one. And I can hook it to a lanyard or key chain. I would love to get an iTrip but they are $40, and I do not want to spend that much. I am going to go to the Car audio store and see how much it is to have a dock hard wired to my radio, since I have 2 extra inputs.

9. I hear ya! I use the cassette adapter. |
|
First time I've used the cassette player in my car in YEARS!
Next car I get, I'm putting in a car stereo with a firewire input jack, or a hardwired dock.

I bought a new Kenwood system to put in my car last year... so I have no Cassette player. But I think it will cost my 20-30 dollars to get it hard wired. I am also keeping an eye open on ebay for a cheap iTrip.

4. The AppleCare extended service |
|
...just in case.
The little FM modulator thing is pretty sweet, too, so you can listen in the car... or a cassette adapter...

5. It depends on what you want. |
|
The portable speakers are pretty cool. I mean the docking station types. Yo umight want to get your own headphones. The car charger could be useful. So can the belt clip. http://www.apple.com/ipod/accessories.html

12. Exactly! And my understanding is that they can not be replaced. |
|
You have to send the unit in for refurbishing, which costs about $250.00 (for a battery!) Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

14. Yes, they can be replaced |
|
Check out some Mac forums (DU, MacFixit, etc.) and ask around. Someone should be able to tell you where to buy a new battery and how to install it.

13. Did you run the battery all the way down |
|
before you recharged it? I have heard if you do, they are supposed to last years longer.
