technology has surpassed me. I am getting on a bit. At the moment when I go away with my friends we listen to music from my Ipod nano through a device similar to the link https://www.amazon.com/iLuv-Alarm-Clock-Speaker-System/dp/B000ETY3LO
However I am unable to change music on my ipod nano as its linked to my broken old lap top.
SO !!!! basically what can I buy to (SIMPLY) put music on and then what do I play it through thats not too large to take abroad and sounds nice?? Thankyou

Do you have any other devices you are already taking? An ipad for example?
Wouldn't it be simpler just to sync your iPod to your new computer (while retaining all of its content)?

Mostly people use bluetooth speakers to work with their phone or ipod these days.

A Chris says, syncing with your laptop will be the simplest and cheapest way!

What issues have you run into for making it sync?

When we attach lead from ipod to computer ...a file comes up with a list of songs but the ipod has a lot more on it than what shows on the computer screen. We also tried do drag a song accross to ipod that looks likes it worked....but the song cant be found when searching on the ipod....pheww! Think it mite be easier to start using by mobile phone and get a bluetooth speaker!
How are you trying to sync with your lap top Ilove? Are you using apple iTunes?

My i tune account was from about 6 years so I no longer have details. so we have just been connecting i pod to laptop.....guess thats not syncingis it. too complicated for us oldies. I will get a bluetooth speaker and use my phone to store music on. thanks guys for your help
Ilove your iTunes account will still be available. You can access it I am sure from at least 3 different computers or lap tops and if you install iTunes on a new lap top it will let you transfer from one to the other. If you have let the ITunes account fall by the wayside a little just do the upgrades that are offered after opening your account. If you have forgotten your password Apple are good at letting you reset a new one( I have had to do it more than once). You should be able to access iTunes using your email address as long as you have not changed it. The new password requires upper and lower case letters and at least 1 digit and must be at least 7 characters(again I am going from memory there). It takes about 5 minutes to come through. Once you have reactivated your iTunes library account you are flying. I agree with you that getting a good speaker to take with you for the ipod is a good idea but if you lose, or your ipod dies, you will lose that library. So your iTunes account is back up.
