well i just traded my minidisc in for an in expensive, tiny goes-around-my-neck ipod shuffle, and so far i love it! itunes is pretty simple, it converts and transfers very fast and i only have usb 1.1, and 12 hr battery life wow it amazed me, i haven't abandoned md, ill probably buy another md in the future since i have alotta md's lying around, maybe when your able to fully upload, that would be something.. what are your thoughts?
