My son wants an iPod with 512MB to 1GB of memory. He will mainly use it to listen to music while riding on a train to his university. However, he wants to use it for his language courses also (textbooks with attached CDs). He plans to convert the CD contents to MP3 and load the files into the new gadget. The player should be able to switch to the desired files and integrates other nifty functions. I think that there are better options than paying the extra for the "iPod" brand. Has anybody a recommendation with model names and/or a URL to read up on it? Any places that have good deals on these gadgets? The iPod seems to cost the same anywhere as long as the demand is so strong. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---
