Age 8 - 10/11, no. Very few actually own an iPod, and normally they're using a family computer (although computer access is pretty much required for school research in 4th and 5th grades around here. You can use the ones at the library, of course, but that involves lots of wait time and limited access.).
In middle school, however, the electronic devices start popping up everywhere--cell phones, iPods, and laptops are not uncommon starting at age 12. That said, you can use an iTunes card to get a couple of songs without having an iPod. Just listen to the songs on your home computer. And if you ever have access to a computer (library, home, friend's house) then a USB drive will come in handy.
