IPOD Questions
So I'm about to get a new IPOD for my PC for 15% off through a friend. I'm not sure what size I want though. I figure the bigger the better, but I don't have anywhere close to 30gigs of mp3's on my computer. I figure I'll copy all of my favorite CD's, some hour+ long mp3's, and so on. I'm thinking 10-20 will be just fine.
Also, what's the best recent software for XP these days? I did some searches and didn't come up with any in particular, I just realized that there's gonna be a few that I need to decide between... Thanks guys -T

I've got a 15 gig 3rd generation iPod, with about 7 gigs of MP3s/AACs. I use the other half as a boot disk (with a stripped down version of the OS on it), small backups of necessities, and to transport things around. Seems to work well. Oh, and my MP3 collection grew a lot when I got one.

You all are not kidding about increasing the size of an MP3 collection with an iPod. It just makes listening to your music so much more convenient, and roadtrips are awful nice with 1500 songs at your fingertips. The only thing is I can't seem to get an aux input into my factory in-dash CD changer with OnStar. The FM modulator always has interference. Any ideas? I've seen cables for the Tahoe and Yukon, but none for a Trailblazer.

I've still got the original... So good. Amazing.
The only thing they could to do make them better (and make me want a new one) is if they increased the memory buffer... It has a small amount of RAM that it uses to store the upcoming songs... I think it is 16megs? or 32? Anyway, it means that there's about a 3 second pause if you're really skipping through the songs fast... I'm picky

Or just for the most recent versions? I mean, why not just make it 128 or whatever, iPod's already fetch a premium for being the best player out there.
