My simple MP3 player is much more versatile for the dollar....

It certainly is and Amazon is a lot easier to get music from than
I-tunes. It is a one click thing.

Of course using UseNet is even easier and a whole lot cheaper ;-)

What I do is a little different than just getting published music.
There are tons of guitar instructional videos including full backing
tracks (minus the melody) on YouTube. I do a search for a song I'd
like to have and then record the audio from it using a simple but very
good program called "Audacity".
Audacity is a audio recording and editing program similar to Pro Tools
except it's much simpler to use.

Once I've recorded it, cleaned it up a bit (and even change the key
it's in if I want) I export it as a mp3. From there I can transfer
it to my music library on the iPad. The iPad (being so portable) is
great to play the backing track from with it's audio output connected
to a Fishman SoloAmp PA.
Works great and keeps me off the streets.
