Honestly, I can never tell the difference either

I saw the other morning on the local news this tech guy talk about the iPods, in particular the Nano, which he praised though he noted the problem with the screen part. Since he had his own website, www.justhelpme.net, I decided to ask him about MP3 players like this one; Microtek MH-210MP3/Video which I've been looking at. It's cheaper & had a lot more stuff on it then the iPod 30GB Photo. (This was before the iPod with video came out.) He basically told me if I wanted a player just to download CDs to, then any MP3 player would do, but if I wanted to download music, then the iPods are the way to go because of iTunes which has a lot more music available than anyone else like Napster. I'd like to know, too, xxxmx, why you don't like iTunes, especially before I choose an MP3 player.
