Ok, ok I'm sure there will be those who would advise neither and I'd be interested to hear what they have to say? But as it stands I have a perfectly good iPod classic. The memory isn't immense - 120GB - but that suits me fine as I only put music on the thing anyway and that's more than enough space for me to keep building up what I have now.

What can an iPod Touch offer to someone like me who listens to a lot of music but doesn't really need it for much else? Apart from the fact that it looks nice and has a touch screen (but so does my mobile phone to be honest, so I'm hardly captivated) what other features can it offer? To be honest, the only thing I I look out for is the memory capacity available (just because I like to think I have way more than I need) and the battery life.

Should someone like me be looking to go for a Touch or does the good ol' iPod classic still hold it's own? I'm interested in whether I should be waiting around for something better to come out - I have no idea what? I used to own two Sony MP3 players, which I was actually rather fond of but the hardware/ software just fell behind. I'd like a Sony again sometime but basically they're shit aren't they?

So should I just stick with what I've got and if so, what exactly am I holding out for anyway? What does any music lover look for in their portable music player?
