You are eventually going to get me to buy an iPod, darn it!!!
Don't bother. I did and hardly ever use it. And PJ claims we won't need one for his podcast.
Another thing about ITunes for the IPod, the music format can't be conveniently burned to a listen-able CD. If you do a direct burn, the CD won't play in your car or home stereo. You have to get conversion software that converts the ITune file format to a WAV or MP3 format first. Then THAT file can be burned.
