My 5th generation 30GB marvelllous ipod just got broken, because of my very gentle behavior towards it during my ownership of my old, dead, beloved ipod, which is now in about 5 pieces waiting in my drawer to be recycled. But when you lose a beloved one of yours, like your girlfriend, relative, primary school teacher, pet, old house or your portable mp3 player, you need to get over it and move on in your life into new adventures. So I need to buy a new ipod. I haven't used the video option on the old ipod very much but I did enjoy carrying thousands of photos with me and sharing them with friends anywhere, anytime. I have a super-ultra-expensive pair of ssenheiser's PXC 450 and Bose's quietcomfort3, so I would of course like to have a portable music player with superb sound quality. I use my computer all the time and I can easily delete or add musics to the ipod, which means I don't need 160GB or something gigantic like that to carry eeeevery song I listen with me. 8 or 16 GB should be enough. Going through the reviews in the site I found the ipod nano 8 GB (obviously the new one) to be the best buy for me. My question is: does more GB put into the same space mean less sound quality? Does the 8GB ipod nano sound any better than the 16GB? If it does, I wouldn't mind giving away half of the hard disk capacity in order to have a slightly better sounding device. But if it doesn't make a difference at all, why not have twice the hard disk capacity for a not-so-high difference in price?
