Why don't they make a dedicated iPod just for...

Why don' they make a dedicated iPod just for music like the Nano but that has the ability to store 30 or 60gb. I'd like to convert my CDs into Apple Lossless but I need far more space than the Shuffle or Nano currently provide. It seems like the larger capacities are reserved for the iPod Video player. The thing is, I'm really not interested in video...

Can anyone provide any explanation, solution, recommendation, etc. Also, any ideas when Apple may release something that would address my needs?

Thank you!

To listen with headphones or stereo system? I know Redwine audio mods a Ipod called the Imod. Check it out www.redwineaudio.com

Sorry - should have clarified... Primarily to listen with headphones. However, I would like the ability to plug it into my home system for low level listening, parties, etc.

Just because it says "video" doesn't mean you have to use it for that purpose.

Right - but I feel like I'm paying for something that I won't be using. Also, isn't it possible that an all audio version would have a better DAC than an audio/video version?

Thanks again!

Apple did have one like that, the 4th gen 40GB wheel click model. I bought one a couple years ago and use it just as you mentioned. However, that unit had hard drive problems which I can verify. The unit will just freeze and you have to wait for the battery to drain before you can use it again.

Since then, Apple has taken the multi-use approach. It makes sense, since it seems the unstoppable trend world-wide is towards small, portable multi-communication/entertainment devices.

We music only lovers are a minority.
