Which MP3 player for Mrs Jont

[davidbenson]

for all those people who want itunes, but dont want to put up with the ipod.

You can also burn your itunes to a CD and then copy them back to the pooter as MP3's.

that's what I've been doing...but it's kinda long winded

[gabrielcrowe]

the mp3s are still on your pod, as wierd names.

use musicbrainz tagger, to use the actual sounds of the mp3s, to give them the correct names.

take a picture of it and then take a picture of the MiL when she is sleeping. Put both in a card and say 'when this goes for good, you get this for good'

PMSL... the more I read that the funnier it gets

[jont]

But if it's a present for the mrs then an ipod is the only answer. Anything else will be seen as a slap in the face.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there Mike .. I lean towards the Creative but think it has to be the iPod for all the "wrong" reasons .... but a happy Missus is worth every penny

[Jan]

I was so happy with my Creative Zen wotist, I must so not be a Mrs. Oh dear.

[jont]

I always knew Jan was a Dutch name

I've said this before but I have been emailed/phoned vy people to ask if I am a man or a woman. Strassen is a German name by the way, I got it throught marriage, my maiden name is a good british name - Raine

Regards,

Make sure its Pink and you have loaded a couple of her favorite CDs on before you give it to her. The new mini is the dogs

Which begs the follow up question.. getting CD's onto an iPod... is the bundled software all that is needed or is there anything else out there better (or does it mount as an external drive to drag and drop)?

[RuralWeb]

is the bundled software all that is needed

itunes is IMO the best on the market and obviously made to integrate with the ipod also you will find that other players do have different formats to the ipod so keep it all Apple and you cannot go wrong.

You can download it for free and rip a few cds for practice but even my 6 year old daughter can use it!

Cheers Mal .. my lad is 7 so will let him crack on with it
