For years I had high-end cassette tape walkmen, then portable CD players of various stripes.

My iPod is easily my favourite toy and having instant access to the cream of my rather modest 1500+ cd collection is absolutely wonderful

Just like the Sony Walkman was the number one CD player in its time, the Apple Ipod has become the favorite of all current digital music players.

If you are set on buying this gadget, I suggest you download itunes first and begin burning all your CDs

I ripped all my CDs, converted to AAC and deleted the MP3s to save space on my hard drive.

I not only use it as a portable player, but use it in my car so that I never have to buy or burn a cd ever again.

It is more likely to lose a CD due to scratches and skips than it is to lose a song in an Ipod.

I have an expansive CD collection, and this is the first IPod that had enough memory for me to consider buying it.

With drag and drop, just make a folder for an artist, name the subfolders for albums, and rip the CD or save the music files to those album subfolders, that's it, your done!
