Ipods/MP3 players are used in my life for 3 things.  The
gym(rollerblading/biking), the car, the plane.  Having all your music
in one place is amazing.  When people come over you don't have to keep
changing CD's with cases lying everywhere, you don't have those
ridiculous notebooks cluttering up your shelf. Of course, there's is
the danger of having it stolen in the car, but sometimes in life
there's risk.
