That's a nice present, MaryKeel!  I know LOTS of community members have mentioned their appreciation of their Ipods.  Here is an older post on this:

iPod shuffle isnt very fancy but u still get the Apple quality, otherwise you would just basically get whatever MP3 player that fits into how much you are looking to spend.

They are portable harddrives not flash drives, so they will break if dropped most of the time. My dad works at a computer repair shop and gets these in quite often. if he just wants to listen to music get a basic mp3 player.

How much ARE you looking to spend, Mary?

whatever you get, you should get a case for it. i have the itouch and the case is the only reason it's still working. Oh and if he drops it in the water, put it in a bag of rice for a week. The rice saved mine and my dad's itouch after being washed in the washer and droped in the bath tub

If it were my kid I would get him/her an iPod Nano. 8G and 16G variations retail just south of $150, it'll shoot video, has superior aftermarket support compared to its non-Apple contemporaries, nine awesome color options, and the Apple panache that is important to some people (especially kids).  

Oh and if your kid is going to use it for fishing you can get him the Pelican i1010 waterproof case. Despite the description, the case will work with later gen iPods.

I have many mp3 players for my sisters, some don't use itunes which makes uploaded difficult. I bought the iPod naano for my nephew, he makes videos uploads easily to youtube.watches movies and music videos on car trips. The only difference is i bought the 16 gig for $30 more than the $8 gig. but some of the mp3 players i purchased for less than $20 and the difficulty and quaity decreases with price. Just depend on your child i bought the last gen nano for my nephew and he lost it in two weeks and the new one he cracked screen playing football with it in pocket in less than 6 months.
