Need to get an iPod

Sooner or later I am going to have to invest in an ipod. Not in any rush to do so, but one of those things about four or five items down my list of tech-toys to get (a gameboy DS and a blackberry fight for the top spot, the DS will probably win given how quickly my GBA sucks batteries dry (and they just released/announced a new slimmer profile DS so I will probably wait to see when/if that arrives/is going to arrive stateside before I get one)).

Just got most of my cd collection mp3'd again. Few cds stacked on my desk that I want to rip before the end of the day, Boa - Twilight ( got it for the two mixes of Duvet, the Serial Experiments Lain title track ), the Bare Naked Ladies I've gotten copies of, and Buckethead - Monsters & Robots( which I haven't listened to in two years and don't actually remember ).

But with it all mp3'd and on my hard drive it meant it was time to put it all in one huge playlist in winamp and shuffled to be as random as I can get it. It makes for a musical mix that I enjoy listening to, but which scares the frick out of pretty much anyone else who comes within hearing range.

So far this morning...

Green Day - Pulling Teeth

I'd advise shopping around for other brands before shelling out for the ipod; I have an iRiver 512 mb player that has a lot more flexibility and options than the iPod, and cost me a whopping $130. I have an audio input jack so I can record CDs, Cassettes, Radio, and who knows what else directly onto it, I can play mp3s, wmas, and several other audio formats. It has a radio tuner so I can listen to (and even record from) the radio directly, etc., etc.
