Argh. I can't stop thinking about this thing. Now that it's fairly evident that a 60gb iPod will hit before year end, i'm edging more and more towards this setup. I rarely do anything more than play the empeg on random, and occasionally pick an album or two to play. The portability of the iPod is the killer for me. Though i've been carrying around the empeg for nearly 4 years everywhere i go, the possibility of just slipping an iPod into my pocket is insanely appealing.

So someone talk me out of my wandering ways! I know i know... empeg, linux, extensible, blah blah, but i'm never going to use my empeg as a GPS or anything else at this point. I just want stuff to work and work well. I think i just need to borrow someone's iPod for a few days and i'll probably figure out why i hate it pretty quick. If i have to use iTunes to load stuff on it, there's strike one right there! =]
