I have the Pink Ipod Mini and I love it. I think it is worth the money. I use iTunes all the time. I use my ipod and iTunes more than the radio now. But, if you do get one then just remember not to keep it in the sun cuz it will mess it up pretty badly. Me and my friend were tanning outside our dorm and we brought our computers and ipods outside for music and now her ipod is really messed up, it says that it is fully charged but when she goes to play it, it only plays for like 5 mins. And mine just goes to sleep alot. But i think it is deffinately worth the money.and it comes with everything you NEED so no, you dont need to buy other things unless you really want to. (my favorite part of getting the mini is that it comes with a clip, that is included when you buy it, and its great for when i go running) When you buy the mini it comes with, a clip to like clip to your pants or something, the software, the ipod, a manual, a plug to charge it, a charger, a plug to download somgs onto the ipod from your computer, and earphones. and they sell these gift cards to buy music on the iTunes music store online.(those dont come with the ipod, you have to buy them seperate) have fun with your ipod!!!!
