From improved ear buds to fancy rubber cases to remote control speaker systems, there are hundreds of accessories to choose from when it comes to how to deck out your iPod in style. But with the vast selection of electronics and attachments, it's hard for some people to know which are the best. So here are some prime choices for your ever-growing iPod collection:

Smokin' Buds Isolating Earphones from Skullcandy. When riding on the subway or metro, you get the constant noise from the rumbling of the engines to the crazy homeless people begging for change. Skullcandy has now made noise-eliminating headphones so you can be totally isolated from the outside world, more than you already are while listening to your iPod in public. You can pick up a pair of them for $24 from www.theistore.com.

JBL On Stage II from JBL. This iPod sound-system that uses a docking port, is portable, interactive, and comes with a powerful remote that can shuffle songs and crank up the volume from all the way across your pad. Now, you can drown out the sound of your parents, your neighbors, and even your very thoughts as the pounding beats of your yuppie alt-rock indie music vibrate your brain. You can pick one up for around $190 from www.easyishop.co.uk.

Micromemo from XtremeMac. Now, an IPod NANO can be a journalist's dream with this small digital recording accessory. A small attachment plugs into the bottom of your iPod, and, into that, a Micromemo microphone. It's great for recording interviews discussions with your professors, or for proof to your friends that your cheating ex is also a lair because she said that she loved you and only you. Start recording for $60, at www.xtrememac.com.

iCarta iPod Stereo Dock with Toilet Paper Holder from Atech Flash Technology. Ever feel like the worst part of using the restroom was that you had to put your iPod down while sitting the porcelain thrown? Well, even though that's not really necessary, even that minute problem has been solved with this Stereo Dock/ Toilet Paper Holder combination. Listen to music while you listen to your peeing. It's a good time for any scatological enthusiast. You can make your bathroom complete with this device for a mere $69 from www.thegadgetlocker.com.

iTrip FM Transmitters from Griffin Technology. Is KROQ just not cutting it? Well, instead of listening to the bad music on the radio, you can listen to the lame and/or annoyingly esoteric music on your own, and on your car's radio as well. With this FM Transmitter, it sends a signal from your iPod to a channel on the radio and you can rock out with your socks off. Depending how you drive. Pick one up from Amazon.com for $30-40.
