The most I've heard from people using them is that the smaller it is, the more you pay. I have a friend who has a jukebox (made by rio I think) which is essentially a notebook harddrive with a case that he loves. If you can, hold off for a few days, as apple has a press conference scheduled on Monday I believe to introduce a new device that deals with music... Could be a cool thing. :) > Other recommendations? What about software? Is the free Sound Jam any good? > What about iTunes (or is that only for CDRW)? I'd be ripping songs from my > own CD's. Itunes is fantastic for MP3's... The only things some people complain about are the lack of an equalizer. Itunes does work for some mp3 players, via device plugins. It is worth checking out whether or not your the player you want has an itunes plugin, or whether or not someone has hacked one :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
