juju - that's what I thought. Until I played with an iPod.

I have a 10 gig now, and it has about 1700 songs on it with room for easily 200 more. We'll say the capacity is 1900 songs. Let's say there's 12 songs per CD, which is probably the average with the music I listen to.

That's about 158 CDs worth of music.

In my pocket.

Say you make your MP3 CDs from 80 minute CDs, or 700MB. I've now got 14 MP3 CDs worth of music in my pocket.

It also gets about 12 hours of play time on a full charge, which happens in about 3 hours. I plug it in when I get home at night (usually around midnight or so) and it's easily ready to go when I get up at 8. I don't need to spend on AA's or rechargeables.

Plus, it doubles as a FireWire disk. So there's always that.

If you had one, at the end of a month of ownership, you'd agree that it was far superior to an MP3 CD player.
