i got my ipod 2 years ago for christmas when they first came out (generation one bitches!) and now i'm over it. everyone thinks they're so trendy and cool, but personally i think they're a little cliche and that there ARE better options out there. i would like to get a rio karma, but since all my songs are in acc (or is it aac? whatever the apple format is) format, they won't play on any other mp3 player. here are its specs:

-20GB* HDD plays back over 330 hours of MP3 or 660 hours of WMA music (over 5000 MP3 or 10,000 WMA songs)**
-USB 2.0 for fast transfers
-Transfer content between multiple PCs
-15-hour continuous playback with the rechargeable LiIon battery
-5-Band parametric equalizer with pre-sets
-Dynamic playlist generation
-Auto-DJ intelligently finds, mixes and creates playlists from tracks on command
-Included docking station supports: -- Dual RCA Line-Outs to connect to most home stereo components -- Ethernet port -- Assign an IP address for networking capability -- Auto-synchronization with host PC
-Plays Ogg Vorbis (a free music format)

hopefully i can find a file converter soon, or i'll have to reimport about 75 cds....

oh, and my dad got the black 20GB iriver (don't know the model name) and i found the menu system so confusing i just stopped even trying to use it. i wouldn't reccommend it unless you want to spend some quality time with the guide book.
