iPod recommendations

Thanks for the responses. Do not need the touch iPod -- too many costly features that we do not need (e.g. wireless Internet, videos).

Also, I read a number of very bad reviews of the version 6 80 GB model, but the nano 8G version will not hold much in the way of lossless ripped cd tracks.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks again for all the excellent responses! Looks like the 80G Classic is the way to go, since the firmware updates have resolved the problems I read about.

Any recommendations for headphones (rather than earphones)?
