Well, I succumbed to the revolution and got myself an iPod just before Xmas. Mainly because my current MP3 player (my phone) started to get a little flaky (the headphone jack). As a result, fellow train travellers would randomly get blasted with my current music of choice (the last effort was Ministry's latest album... at which point I was getting some pretty strange looks). Using my frequent flyer points from Virgin, I redeemed a 160gb iPod Classic (Black). I've gotta say, it's pretty cool, and seems to do exactly what you want in a portable media player (i.e. play music, TV and movies, with a few games thrown in as well). The menu system is pretty good, however, for someone who is used to using the Windows Explorer to select their music, one of the main issues I've found is that the metadata on my music isn't quite up to scratch. And given I've got (as my iPod tells me) 135gb of music (that's just over 28,000 songs), I've spent a few hours updating metadata on the music over the past week. So far I think I've probably spent 6 hours updating songs, and I'm only just up to "M". A way to go yet. Other than that though, it's going well :)
