well the nice thing is you can do all the handstands and cartwheels you want while itunes does its conversion thing by default....

:)

the bad stuff....

battery life is just not as advertised

i have yet to have longer than a 4 hour session without needing a recharge charge (let alone 6 to 8)

one cool thing i got was a charger called the "igo"

adaptor...

igo.com

for example when i was taking my last trip, i was able to use it to charge 2 devices in my car or hotel at once....i have 'tips' for my notebook, digicam, ipod, and cell phone

sweet

the other personal dislike was that i wasn't pleased with the earphones....but that's probably a personal thing....theirs were uncomfortable to me....so i bot a set of sony earbuds...

these look really nice though pricey...(don't think they had them available when i got my ipod last year)

store.apple.com

Well, first you get a 24-bit recti-linear A-->D convertor, run the output through a Nyquist-balanced amplitude normalization step-down processor, re-format the raw file into an asymmetric stream with parametric adjustment for bit and frequency preferences, .....

Oh heck, just slap the CD into your drive, launch a software tool ... I-Tunes is easy and great, but one of many. Two mouse clicks, spin your heels, have coffee.

"the guy at the store said I had to go to iTunes and do some handstands and cartwheels to get my CDs into the ipod."
