The greatest gifts ever for music lovers

Rock and roll all night with these 7 chart-toppers.

The coolest accessory

iPod Classic 160GB, $349
iPod Nano 8GB, $199

The iPod remains the marquee MP3 player; the only question is, Which one? The Touch is hot, but for true music lovers it's between the Nano and the Classic.

On style, price and physical bulk, the credit-card-size Nano wins. It's also durable, so it's the pick for on-the-jog audiophiles.

But the Nano loses on memory: It holds only 2,000 songs. The Classic is the pick for serious collectors, holding 40,000 tunes; now it's video-ready as well.
