Biznatch, I tried to access your above-mentioned website for guidance, and ended up with arabic porn.

I was looking at exchanging it for an iPod mini 4 gig just for ease of use, but now I'm not sure. I have XP professional with SP1, not 2. I've been told the iPod mini may or may not work. Oh, electronic gurus... help?
