That leaves me with a lot of options, but not a lot of knowledge and a reluctance to bring another gadget into the home that will go relatively unused. My primary purpose for getting an MP3 player would be to create a mini-jukebox from the existing CD collection, which is quite significant. That means I probably want the highest-level of storage capacity. And a way to hook it into a stereo or surround-sound system. But wait, I want more! I want all the song information to transfer to the gadget, and I want to be able to categorize things. Like, &#8220;Party Tunes&#8221; or &#8220;Dance&#8221; or &#8220;Folk&#8221;, because then, if we have a party, you could select that as the filter and then all the music that would be shuffled would only be songs with those labels on them. <\/p>\n<p>And I realize the whole burning &#038; transfer of music is as exciting as watching paint dry, which is the other reason I am not jazzed or chomping at the bit to do this &#8211; but eventually, I&#8217;ll be getting a big-screen tv, and upgrading the surround sound system, and a tidy, compact MP3 player with all our music on it would rock the casbah. Hey, I gotta dream. <\/p>\n<p>So if you have knowledge or ideas, float &#8217;em my way. Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actually, I am already on the Not Podding road.
