Going, going, gone!
I'm happy to report that after being on the market for less than a week, my apartment is sold! I got a couple of great offers and accepted one today. A little sigh of relief knowing that is sorted and I can add a little money to the bottomless pit that is called MBA-financing.
On a different, but slightly related note, I've been thinking about buying an MP3 player. I am one of those people that have watched from the sidelines whilst other people pop white plugs in their ears. I can see the wow-factor of the sleek design of the iPod and I hear it calling to me, but I've also heard some negative stories. So far I've checked out a few websites and there's a couple of things that I'm thinking about. My main reasons for buying an MP3 player are
a) a way to store all the music on my cd's so I don't have to bring my cd's to London with me
b) as an extra storage device.
I've been thinking about buying a 20 or 30 Gb one, so I can do both, realising that they might be a little more bulky than smaller (say 4 or 5 Gb one). A few players I've been looking at are the Sony NW-HD5, IRiver 20 Gb, Samsung YH-920GS, Creative Labs Zen Xtra, iPod 4th generation (40 Gb).
Sooooooo, whilst I'm doing more research, I'd like to know your opinions? What should I look out for? Have you got an MP3 player and can you recommend it?

Are people usually congratulated when they sell their homes? hooray for the extra money added to the bottomless pit, though ;-)
I'm an iPod kinda guy, so go Apple !
I couldn't resist. iPod has got me. Battery life could be better. But it's soooo cool! And sound is great. Best of mp3 players, no doubt about that. I got the 20Gb version, which is now not enough for my mp3 collection!! :-)) I'm taking my 160Gb external hard-drive with me.
I'm an iRiver fan ;)
But I use their flash-players (iFp and N10) and thus cannot recommend a harddisk one ;)
When I researched (half a year ago) iRiver was cheeper than iPod and had more voices saying "it's good" (here in Russia, mind).
Hope, it'll help a little ;)
Sincerely,
Pauly
