Do you really want to decide what music you want to listen to before you go out, then spend a bunch of time copying/deleting the songs you want? Later in the day you might find yourself hankering for some of the songs you left on your pc. Thats the purpose of an ipod, to have all your music with you. Otherwise you might aswell just use oggplay on your p9.
Personally, I usually go through 'phases' of music listening, whereby I'll listen to the same few current favourite or new albums and tracks for a few days/weeks at a time. So I don't change my listening
every time I go out.
Even if I did want to change the music I have with me, it doesn't take a 'bunch of time'. It takes a matter of minutes, if not seconds to plug the iPod into my Mac, drag 'n' drop the files and disconnect.
I guess it depends on the size of your music collection and whether you really do need to have
every track you own with you
all the time. I would guess that most people don't.

I dont understand why anyone would buy a mini. Its only SLIGHTLY cheaper than a 10 or 15gb model, its only SLIGHTLY smaller than a 10 or 15gb model, but its capacity is SIGNIFICANTLY less than a 10 or 15gb model. The only possible reason for having one is coolness factor- which i have to admit is a major factor in my purchasing decisions- but logically, the mini needs to come down in price before it is worth buying.

@switchbitch:
Take a read of
this article which explains why the iPod mini isn't as bad value as you think when compared to its intended competition (i.e. not other iPods).
As it says "iPod mini is not meant to be an alternative to the iPod, but to the high-end flash-based and other small hard drive-based players."

£40 more? Where? On the AppleStore the 15gb iPod is £248.99. Making the iPod mini 35% smaller physical size for £69.99 less!

You have to face the fact that if you only want 4gb then the ipod mini is the best. I think all the grief about standard ipods being better (not particullary at any1 in this post) are due to jealousy
Great news about the release date
Me wanty, me wanty, me wanty
Also good of apple to coincide roughly with my birthday (21st july)
P.S i think its goona have to be Blue all the way
