I am interested in buying an mp3 player and flash drive combo which also supports iTunes music files and is Tiger compatable. I have not been able to find anything that fits this description. Does anyone know of any or have any related advice? Thanks!

To clarify, can the nano and shuffle be used to transfer non-music files as a typical flash drive does? I understand that they use flash memory but I also need a medium to transfer non-music files between computers. Thanks

To further clarify, I am also looking for a product which has a built in USB connector. Thanks!

Sure, they can both be used as generic USB mass storage.

The shuffle has a USB connector built in.

Thanks for your help. Also, last question, do you know if there are any problems with transfering non-music files between a mac and a pc when using iPod nano or shuffle?

OSX's Finder and Windows' Explorer can transfer files to it; no programs needed.
