Remember, you can now set iTunes to import at
full-bandwidth 16/44.1 and no compression at all.
Of course that only means you get 10-12 CD's or so on a Nano
8gig, but that may be enough if you use the computer as the
library and just put what you want on the ipod.
My Classic 80gig now hs every CD I own that I really care about
on it, and is barely over 1/2 full. No compression at all, and it
sounds fabulous.
Another thing I am relearning is how much better good cans
sound than any speaker. My Senn HD580's murder even the
best monitors when it comes to fidelity and low distortion.
I hate cans, and would much rather listen in a room, but I have
to admit that these things are on a whole different level than
speakers.

myPod is my bestest little buddy. He sits at my desk all day long and
just serenades me from a collection of 11,000 songs.
The factory Apple earbuds suck heavy -duty raw sewage. Can't get 'em
to fit my ears for anything.
First thing I did was to order up a nice pair of Sony in-ears with the
silicone tips. Huge difference. You can also pony up the $$$ for a
pair of Etymotics or Shures if you're really serious.
I'm on my second pod now -- 60gb photoPod. First one was a
2nd-generation 5gb pod that just finally started to develop hiccups.
Wife has a pink iPod Mini, I also have an original "pack of gum"
Shuffle.
Love 'em.

Considering there's only one good song per CD, that's really
about 100 to 120 CD's of stuff you like... not bad LOL!!!
