I just got an iPod. Now all my music is in iTunes, I can wander round the house listening to whatever I want, I don't have to put CDs in the car any more (I've got an FM transmitter for it) and I can play my music library on my PC and on the stereo via my Media Center. I got a new CD this morning (couldn't find it online) and apart from ripping it, I don't suppose it will ever go in a CD drive again.
2000 tracks on a thing not much bigger than a credit card. Amazing.
Listening to Deadwing on it now and it sounds fantastic.
