...........a 30gb Ipod is in my future and not the 4 gb Nano.

I have been importing songs from my CD's to my Itunes and now have over
6GB of music (1,462 songs), with several more CD's left to import.

BTW: Itunes is a nice program and very versatile. If anyone has it I
have a link to the optimal equalizer settings. Let me know if you want
it. ;-)



I was always an electronic gizmo and gadget nut, but for some reason the
whole appeal of Ipods and the like is lost on me. Why would I possibly
want thousands of poor quality, super compressed music files stored in
one of these? I guess they have their purpose, whatever it is, as they
seem to be very popular.

I'm something of an audiophile and find the newer iPods with good
earphones damn close to the original CDs on most tunes. Their beauty is
that you can take your music collection with you and listen to what you
want to listen to, when you want to listen.

I was dragged along on a shopping trip today and ended up plopping myself
in a great chair in a bookstore for an hour and a half today, listening to
Ludwig von's middle quartets. Made the mall experience pleasant, and I
*hate* shopping malls.

I also hook up iPod to my home stereo for convenience. Sounds very nice.

What hardware is needed for that Harry?
