    I'd be happy to find a program that would convert music from stereo to mono and run all the stuff I stick in my MP3 player through it.

    A touch screen for a device that is frequently stuck in a pocket or otherwise pressed and abraded against surfaces doesn't seem like a good idea. Just my two cents.

    As far as iPods, they're very high utility tech devices IMHO. We've just bought a portable DVD player that will dock an iPod, which opens up a vast amount of free podcast type content to entertain the little one on trips. Of course it's also a portable HD, photo album, etc. iTunes just rates acceptable, but they've got more music and other content than any other service by a long way. Quite frankly even if the iPod were an inferior device I would probably compromise on it in order to have the broader selection of their library.

    If you use a stereo-to-mono adapter I would have to assume the whole signal would become mono, as in both channels (stereo left and right) become one.

    If you need a program to convert the stereo files to mono I think there are some free ones around, but I don't really know for certain and where if they exist. Then again.... I'm not certain, but perhaps you could use any free desktop media player. For instance I remember that Winamp is able to write audio files to the disk if you want, and it should be possible to have it write them to mono.

    I would not recommend however to convert them: (1) suppose you give a file to another person he or she would have mono forced; (2) you are already using an adapter which should function just fine; (3) in some cases mono would squeeze the signals too much together possibly creating conflicting signals (generally the audio quality would be decreased).

    Momentarily I am using the phone memory to store all my music but 7 hours of music already filled a 512MB card, so it's clearly the time to get myself an MP3 player. Momentarily I saved enough to get myself a more expensive one, especially with Christmas coming up and me being totally clueless on what I want. (the first time it happens! )

    So, Beirut's option is clearly one on my shortlist, along with a Touch and a Nano. Any other suggestions folks?

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    As to your problem, I guess it depends on how much music you want, I have a 1GB card for my cellphone and it's not even full IIRC.

    I have the one on the right - the Creative Zen Vision:m. A 60GB monster with amazing screen quality and very easy to use controls. Best thing i've bought in years, despite it's rather hefty price tag. It will last me for quite a long time, and it's rather resilient - i've struggled to cause much damage. A few scratches to the screen through my own error, but nothing else. Much better than iPod's, which my friends are always complaining about having broken.

    I've got a Nano, not the newest edition, the second newest. The really thin one.

    Its ok...

    I'm thinking of getting an iPhone, though the iCliche is getting on my nerves too.
