Want

Someone's iPod longing post just made me look online and see what I would want as well.

I've longed for an iPod for quite some time now, but I'd take something else in its stead. That kind of space would be quickly filled up by the music collection spread out across four or five different hard drives here at work, and one at home.

Easily.

Good question. In essence, they are basically the same thing: a hard drive based MP3 player. Apple's iPod is pretty much top of the line, from what I understand, though I'm sure some people may disagree. Creative Labs has been around for a while, so I'd imagine they know what they're doing. I like the simple look of the iPod, very sleek.

There are other flash memory based ones, but they're more the 128 Mb or 256 Mb capacity that may hold one or two CDs worth of music, dependent on the sound quality of the music files. While I may not have 16,000 some songs, I'm well on my way to getting there, so 60 GB is really appealing to me.

If you want to read more about iPod, the latest Newsweek writes about them in their feature story.

Yeah, there's been quite a bit of media coverage on the iPod. Today had some time devoted to it, I saw the cover of Newsweek at the library the other day.

All signs point to getting an MP3 player. :)
