eorI realize I haven't properly raved yet. So I must.
My nice little portable mp3 player (IRiver H120) is a jewel. I've only got it about 20% full right now, but it still has all kinds of music on it (maybe 20+ CD's). I quickly learned the controls, anyone who says they're too complicated needs a) clue or b) life. The basics are easy and you rarely have to even look at the display. Despite working in a very active situation I haven't had any problems with skipping or harddrive damage, something that I was concerned about with a harddrive player. Compatibility with UNIX, USB harddrive is so utterly cool. Don't get a proprietary piece of shite. If it can't be seen as a harddrive on your system don't buy it. I wear a belt all the time so the belt case is perfect for me. It's better than a clip, because if it was a clip I would have knocked it off by now.
So why did I decided to rave now. Well, I was sitting at my computer listening to the music on the headphones (because it's almost 6am, you have to be quiet). I decided to walk over to the fridge and get some ginger ale. Then a good song came on and I danced like a maniac before sitting back down. It was then I realized that my music has followed me at work, in the car, at home and not stopped except for when I took the headphones off to deal with something (or to plug it into the car player). For a music freak this is teh cool.
Now if I could just write things when they came to me at work, in the car, etc. I might actually produce 1/20th of the things I've thought of.
