Firewire and USB2 are about the same in practice - Firewire might
just have the edge for sustained traffic.
I'd pick up a cheap iPod Photo which has the colour screen and
everything apart from video playback,
much reduced in price on places like Amazon, and use it with
Firewire. USB-1 will work, but it'll take you
many hours to put the first set of music on. That said, once you
have the majority of your music on, the occasional
album update over USB-1 wouldn't be that bad, but I'd still go for
firewire as the best choice.

I'm looking at getting my first iPod and I have a G3/400 iMac DV

use the
USB-2 function through my firewire iMac, or should I seek out an
older iPod
that still uses firewire as opposed to USB-2? Which is the fastest
transfer
method - my iMac firewire or the latest USB-2?
