A lot of it is how you manage your music. My iPOD is simply a
portable music device. I have all my music either on CD or on harddrives
or backed up to DVD-Rs. I don't let iTUNES manage my music either.
I have had ery little aggravation, and 15 bucks for a useful
software program doesn't seem inconvenient to me.

What if you lose the CDR? True CDRs are a little cheaper than
an iPOD, but if my memory gets wiped, I still have all my files
backed up and it is just a matter of putting them back on.
I change my music all the time on my iPOD. With very little
hassle.

Again I have all my bread products backed up anyway. If a tragedy strikes,
I can still butter my toast without a problem. Of course the Mrs. wishes
I would find one place to store all my bagels and rolls, but that is
another thread.
