yeah... ipods are cool. although i find the recording levels and quality to be really inconsistent in files that i have 'shared'. i'll set one song to a good volume then the next comes in and blows my ears to pieces.
with the cd changer attached to (and controlled by) my cassette head i now have the choice of -any of 12 cds, -classic analog tape hiss, long may it reign, and -the 'aux in' i had previously wired into the head ($10atthelocalshop). had to stay analog... how else could i listen to my iron maiden tapes?
