Some of you even suggested things along these lines.
--------------------------------- I just got new toy, a 30Gb Apple iPod. It is a bit on the spendy side, $499, but it is the best thing for music and/or audio books. I have almost 4400 songs (ripped my CDs to mp3) on the thing and The LOTR audio books and still have almost 10Gb to go. It has great sound, is lighter than my iPAQ, and has my vote for Toy of the Year. In Korea, we have few radio options (unless you like Korean music, of which some is okay). We have one military FM station and one AM. Since the military is very interested in diversity, there is much music I don't want to listen to--I'm a classic rocker. So I purchcased an RF transmitter and now can play the iPod through my car radio. I can set the thing to "shuffle" and I get all the diversity I need from my collection of 250 or so CDs. Also, my friend downloaded the Billboard Top 100 songs (actually only top 50 in the early years) from 1956 to 2002. I have editted that set of music (extensively) and so have all my favorite oldies. I have every Jethro Tull Album, all the Beatles, all Bob Dylan, all Moody Blues, etc. So you can see where my likes are tho' I also have all of "Enya", Simon and Garfunkle, and Vanessa Mae. Anyway, great toy. It will play back through your computer too. Highly recommended. George A _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
