Default need portable music player...mp3?

Hi guys, as much of a newb as I am with computers, it's nothing compared to the music world. I don't listen and don't really care what format, song, style whatever.....but as it turns out I've married a music lover who now wants something portable to jog with and listen to her music.

So for x-mas I'm going to get her one....but need advice, here is the criteria in ranking order of priority:

1) can convert CD's to it
2) size: 4GB minimum
3) easy to download music and copy to player
4) relatively durable
5) looks cool
6) easy to use

She loves the pink ipod nanos and I have no problem paying for quality which it looks to be....but i don't know th download process and CD converting etc... does it meet our needs? are their cheaper/better alternatives to the nano (well, i know there are cheaper, what about better?)
