I didn't give in to the iPod craze. I bought a Samsung Napster MP3 player with a 40G memory card and I've been dumping CDs into it for weeks and haven't come close to filling it up. It's incredibly easy to use and not as expensive as an iPod.

I was able to set up a playlist for a friend's party that went on for several hours and it was easy to hook it up to his stereo and have it play for hours....I did get a few looks for pairing up Carmen McCrae and Ella Fitzgerald against ABBA and Donna Summer but everyone had a blast...
