You need an MP3 player if your job is boring. Yes you do.
I have a Creative MuVo flash based 1 gig MP3 player, I'm not a very technical person, but have no problems ripping my favorite CD tracks.
I have a very boring job, riding a 40' order picker in a warehouse. This little device has been a Godsend, I have a pair of battery powered speakers that I installed on the overhead and I just plug the player in when I get to work. This one also plays FM, and gets very good reception for something with no apparent antenna.
I did have a problem with garbled music recently, but I went to thier website and downloaded new "firmware" for it and it's worked great since then.
I know there are (much) larger MP3 players for just a little more than the $130 I paid for this at Amazon, but this one is flash based and (hopefully) will last a good long time. I only want my *very favorite* songs on it (sometimes I rotate songs out of the list because I get tired of them) and have never had more than 500mb of music on it, so I should have gotten a 512mb version for cheaper.
One more thing, this one uses one AAA battery about every other workday, I would be concerned about using some built-in rechargable; If it dies in the middle of the day, I want power NOW. Also, I understand the Ipod batteries are expensive to replace.
Maybe some kid will run across this review in 2072 and chuckle about us poor turn of the century folk and our clunky way of having to carry a device with us to listen to music (As opposed to ???)
