If I get a used one, it can be less than $1, but a new one will be $5 or more, dending on what features you need. The most expensive I've seen was almost $50.

I've never been to Illinois, so i don't know what stores you have access to. But here Costco has them for like 30 dollars cheaper. You can get on their website though! But if you really want a good deal! If you go to apple.com and click on the refurbished products link! I bought my 30GB ipod video for under 180$!!!!!!!! Never had a problem with it! And they shipped it in like 2 days! They only list a few of them a week! So act fast!

You should get a black Nano.  Everybody has a white iPod.  Be different.  Be unique.  Get a black one.  You had "make" it more girlly by getting a cover for it.  And there are a huge quanity of covers for iPods.\n\nyou want to know the price to purchase 500 songs on iTunes?\n500 x 0.99 = $495\nnot too sure about that part of the question though.\n\nThings the iPod Nano come with:\nBattery: 14 hrs of playing music; 4 hrs of slideshows w/ music\nDisplay Screen: 1.5 in (diagonally) in color\nConnectivity Points: Stereo minijack & Dock connector\nSoftware: iTunes\nAccessories: Earbud headphones, USB Cable, & Dock Adapter\nManual: Guide on Electronic Features & a Quick Start\nWarranty: Single Incident Telephone Support - 90 days; Limited - 1 yr\n\nOther features\nCharge time: 3 hrs to 100%; 1.5 hrs to 80%\nAudio Type: AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3, WAV\nPhoto Type: BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, PSD, TIFF\nSize: 3.5 (height) x 1.6 (width) x 0.27 (depth)\nWeight: 1.5 oz\n\nI hope that helps.  Sorry with that was boring/useless.  Just trying to answer the question as well as I could, but at the same time being able to be understood.  I hope I did both.\n\nEnjoy your iPod Nano.  You'll absolutely love it.  Just be careful with the screen.  They scratch up very easily.

If you're running Windows XP you have Windows Movie Maker installed. Through that you can take out the video and save it as an audio file for your iPod.

In my opinion, the iPod is the best mp3 player available. Its largest version (60GB) is 400 dollars.

I work for a DJ company doing that. The company charges $375.00 for a 3 hour event, and takes $150.00 for providing the equipment and music, I get $175.00. $100.00 per hour for over the contract time. But this is not the holiday rate, like for a Christmas party.\n\nI bring up to 7000 tunes and do interactive stuff, too.\n\nWe're in Atlanta

Well it all depends on how much music you are going to record. Like how many songs do you have? Usually the cost for studio time runs anywhere from $75 to $150 american dollars. Now that is cheap, it really all depends on the access you have and where you live. Now if you are somewhere remote and not close to any big citys well then double or triple that amount. Now another way to go about this is to start to make your own home studio. Now I take it you want to get the best possible recording that you can for a small amount of money. There are great web sites to find the equimpment you need.\n\nHere is a link to explain what you need and the cost.\nhttp://shop.drumbalaya.com/s.nl/sc.12/.f\n\nNow my personal favorite on line music store is musicianfriends.com they have great deals on equipment.\n\nLook I have alot of family that are in bands... and friends with home studios.. Alot of up an coming musicians are doing  it. And it gives the contorl back to the artsit..  =)

Check local pawn shops.  A few years ago I really needed some gas money and tried to pawn my ipod.  They only wanted to give me $20 for it.  They have never heard of an ipod.

The range is from $53 to $350.  Depends on what you are looking for as far as performance.\n\nApple iPod shuffle 512MB MP3 Player\nInternal Flash Drive, 12 Hours \nApple - M9724LLA\nMost Inexpensive~$53.00    \n\nApple iPod Photo 40GB MP3 Player\n40GB Internal Hard Drive \nApple - M9585LLA\nMost Expensive~$350.00\n\nI own an iPod photo and I am very pleased with it. It is very stylish, it has a great interface (very easy to go through your songs, and 40 gigs of songs require a very good interface!)

Nope, what you bought is what you're stuck with.  Apparently there are ways to upgrade it, but its basically the same cost as getting a new ipod.

Of a CD cover price roughly 20% goes to the record company for production costs, another 15% goes towards legal costs and copyright protection. 10-20 percent goes to the shop as a profit. 25 percent will go towards outside costs such as the printing of the sleeves. The bands themselves recieve about 10 percent dependant on record label. Smaller record labels tend to have lower costs and so the band can often make more.\n  It costs around 70p to produce a single and they usually retail for 1-4 pounds. Albums cost around 1.20 pounds per unit and it is possible to pick up a new album for less than 9.00 pound, dependant on whether the album is a new recording or an old back catalogue.\n For example Depeche Mode when they signed up to the medium company Mute Records recieved a 50-50 UK profit split and a 70-30 split overbroad in their favour. The profits were divided between the group and the company then placed this money into a kitty for further albums. This ism more than a Warner deal they had been given also. However few debut albums actually break even in terms of costs, and many bands, Depeche Mode included did not have proper contracts and so often things went wrong and the bands did not have much legal authority in court.\n Downloads are different. Normally 50 percent goed to the download company, with a 25/25 split between the band and record company. So for an 80p iTunes download the Apple company makes 40 pence while the band and record company recieve 20p each. Profits for downloads are higher normally as there are no or little manufacturing costs involved. Some bands, usually regionally famous bands or independant groups, offer their own downloads from their own independant websites or websites such as MySpace, meaning they recieve more profit than through an agent. \n There is a suggestion in the music industry that the cost breakdown is changed so any money is split threeways between retailer, band and record company. So a band would make roughly 26p from a download and not the present 18-20p. The aim of this proposed change is to encourage more young bands and more experimental avant garde bands, whilst ensuring that the band will get back any money they may have paid for production, and ensuring also both fans and artists can benefit from that artists back catalogue, particularly where an artist has not released much material, such as Joy Division who only did two proper studio albums, Closer and Unknown Pleasures.
