> 1. Should I get a new iPod? If so which one, Touch, Classic? For all of my needs I'm staying with solid-state players, despite their obvious storage limitations. I like the durability, the size & weight, and have no need to carry around 500 hours of audio. The new Touch, however, is overpriced and the 3rd generation Nano has very odd dimensions to accomodate its (worthless) video screen. Consider picking up a now discontinued 2nd generation 8GB Nano for cheap.

Not a manager, just a way to load MP3's onto your iPod without having to resort to the godawful iTunes. > I don't really want to rip to FLAC and MP3 and maintain two copies. Rip and encode in FLAC, but maintain a mirror MP3 library. This is by far the most convenient approach, at the cost of not a lot of hard disk space. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39762 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
