Sweet. Hope you enjoy that one. I sure do. One bit of advice though - tape a paperclip to the back of it. If you jog it even slightly when it is changing tracks, it will lock up. You can reset it by poking a paperclip in the tiny hole on bottom. But if you don't have a paperclip, you're out of luck. This has happened maybe a half dozen times to me in the past year, and is my only complaint about the unit. Since you're about as likely as I am to do a lot of jogging with it, it shouldn't be a real problem.

Now get to loading up music.

Yes sir!

First order of business: Beatles tracks, of course!

The paper clip thing sounds like a good idea. It's sort of like the cd player Emm got me for my car--I found that it would skip like crazy if I had it on the car seat, but if I placed it on something soft like my coat, it would work fine.

Oh, and for the record: I now have more than 16000 tracks on my external drive (not including the 400 or so U2 tracks...remember those? ;) ). Now if I could only find out why Musicmatch likes crapping out on me so frequently...I know there are other PC-based media players out there, but I like the way MM sets up its library. Real Player is great in that I can access my iTunes tracks too, but their library setup sucks...

Who's the best wife in the world?
