if you already have a perfectly working ipod-nano II,
like me, I think it's a good idea to make it a bit more free.
You could do that if it's fun for you. But if you want to just get something working then buying something that just works from ebay would be easier.
Of course, or if you know someone who would have fun doing it for you.
As far as cyanogen's concerned, I installed it to my Nexus 7 (first edition), still with the old "difficult" way, but I don't find it difficult at all. As far as I know nowdays there is a much simpler installer.
The installation shouldn't have been very difficult when I did it. But things didn't go the way they should have even though I followed all instructions. Nexus devices are probably easier because there's little variation. But for phones sold by Telcos (such as the Optus Galaxy S I used) there can be subtle differences that break things. Fortunately the Galaxy series is difficult to brick.
You are right. I generalized too much my case. -- Michele
