So...

My CD Player, which i bought second ahdn for like 2 bucks, has been slowly dying on me the last few weeks.... probably because I dropped it a while back... anyway, when I spent five minutes smacking the damn thing just to get it to play (and I still couldn't read the display because like half the little bars that form the numbers refused to show up) and my hand was seriously hurting, I finally said 'The hell with it!" and walked down to Kmart, where I bought myself this nifty little $30 buck MP3 player that's meant for like pre-teens/teens so while it doesn't have an ungodly amount of space, it has a huge amount (1 GB, which is like tiny compared to the size of my music collection... lol) and it's really simple to install the softwar ande I like the interface so far...

The first playlist I'm making is starting with the base Leaving Normal mix I had on a CD in my player today, but I'm adding in all the songs I'd had to cut to make it fit on the disc... lol...

Then I think I'll put on some of my other 'inspiring' mixes...

Anyway, I very much like my nifty new little player... and I plunked down the extra couple bucks for the 1 year replacement thing, so if it messes up on me, I can get it replaced...
