Hey Willie, sounds like we like the same types of music. Yes, the iTunes flexibility is awesome, I've made playlists for barbeque get togethers so I don't need to concern myself with changing records (cd's) I've done this prior to get togethers a few times, so have several like "4th july" "new years" etc A couple for dinner type music. Party type for while on vacation. Click and drag to make new playlists to burn to disc as a gift. Create "smart lists" which makes a playlist of any combination of genres, etc. My "prog" play list is extensive. So are rock and blues. I have enough different play lists that I can be sure I can play music and not have anything play that a particular visitor doesn't like. I keep the stuff that I'm pretty much the only person who wants to hear it on the "gary" play list. And a "bette" list for my wife, and workout music as well. I regard the iPod as the best electronics purchase I ever made because my music can travel with me. A good set of ear buds and a nice docking station completes the package. I use a cable with RCA jacks at one end and a headphone jack at the other end to connect to my home stereo. The sound, to my ears, is as good as cd quality, although audiophiles will disagree.
