My primary use for players is audio books–OverDrive, Ingram, rips etc. The Nano can’t be beaten for them BUT I have music
on it too. My only real objection is its size though very thin it is not exactly pocket size so I always grab a clip for portability.
The ipod has always scratched at the drop of a fingernail so it needs a case for protection. I use a clear one that I found
on sale for $4 as opposed to $30 for others.
The nano 6th gen is much more portable and has a clip on the back. It’s closer in general design to the clip+ than the touch, of course, and, to me, a more fair comparison than comparing it to the touch.
When I accidentally broke my clip+ – duh! – a few months ago, I considered getting the nano 6th gen. I liked the overall design, the 24 hour battery life and that it’s made of metal. Plus there’s the accessories, like the wrist band, and being able to wear it like a watch is cool and versatile.
In the end, the excellent design of the clip+, the expandable storage, the better sound quality, and the price could not be beat and I wound up getting another clip+ and haven’t regretted my choice.
The price on the 6th-gen Nano was enough for me to immediately say “Never!” lol. If it was priced like a Sansa, I might have been curious…but it’s not.
