Yeah. The 4GB black one.

I haven't extensively road-tested it yet, but a couple of
observations:
1) Not sure yet, but it seems you HAVE to use the included iTunes
software to upload music to it. When you do, the files are not .mp3,
but some other weird extension. I'd rather just bung mp3 files into a
directory or directory tree than ****ing about with their software. I feel
like I'm being
locked in and made to jump through their hoops.

2) Overall, sound seems good, but it did have MAJOR problems with
Marillion's "Heart of Lothian". It didn't seem to have enough voltage
available, I guess because there must be very strong low bass on it,
causing clipping and nasty distortion, even below maximum volume.

3) There are "EQ" settings you can choose from, but they're all just
named presets like "Rock", "Voice", or whatever. There are settings
called "bass cut", "bass boost" (or similar), "treble boost" and
"treble cut". I'd rather have just had a defeatable graphic equaliser.

Try EphPod and go into the settings in iTunes and make mp3 the default
instead of Apple's own algorithm. Any tunes you've already ripped from Cd,
you can right-click and convert to mp3.

If you want good sound, never transcode your music. It is much better to
recode the original CD.

I had the same distortion issues you were talking about. I ended up
using MP3gain to reduce the dB of the songs. See

for additional info. Written for the Ipod but I found it also applies
to the Nano.
