P.S. Have you considered iPod? Funny thing really. Mine was stolen this week. I want to get a MD player because the battery lasts 3 times as long, is not internal, and it's a stable machine in general. I have a PC. but I am moving to university and I don't want to have to rely on lab computers to put songs onto my disk. I guess I will have to buy a good USB key so that I can transfer songs from my laptop to a PC and then I can copy them. Ok, thx.
