Apple iPod classic (30 GB) MP3 Player

I don't want to repeat what other people have raved about the iPod's interface..etc but I just wanted to add that as a 30 pushing on 40 the iPod reminded me of the sensation and joy when I received my first Walkman as a teenager. IMHO the sense of liberation and the ability to "mix my own album" were the first steps towards finding my own "taste" and "clan" in music. Now the iPod w/ iTunes have taken it a step further, I can buy the songs that I like or explore obscure artists' works without risks, I am also happily re-purchasing all the (80s) euro-bands' singles that I used to own on EPs but was too embarassed to buy on CDs when they became available. Now no body has to know...
