well, cant see giving napster 14 bucks a month, could get satilite radio for that. plenty of sites that offer it at 10 cents to 50 sents a song, but like livewire, it is not very user friendly, and being it is for my wife, and not me, it needs to be legal AND user friendly.
personally, i would toss it and buy a CD when i really wanted one. i dont even have a cell phone, nor want one.
i am happy with the zen, or more to the point, happy with not buying an ipod. the whole registraition thing is borderline propriatary softwear. you cant even transfer from ipod to ipod unless they are both regestered to you. im the kind of person who still usses windows 98 se because i refuse to have the softwear i paid for be limited in how i choose to use it, or where i choose to use it.
will keep looking i guess.
