Actually the sound is very good considering the benefits of the portable music player.
The unit will store, organize, catalog, self power and play back music over a home stereo, car stereo and even while walking down the street. All for less than a few hundred bucks. Even lets you store and play back a movie while sitting on an airplane.
Try to get those benefits with a $30,000 audiophile system.
Considering what it is and what it is designed to be used for - quite impressive.
Ever try to carry your entire music collection to a friends house for a party? I do all the time in my front pocket.

I totally agree with you. The advantages are quite incredible.
And this is why I started using the Ipod to play back music when in a "I just want to listen to something and can't be bothered to find the right CD" mode.
I am in now way trying to diss the Ipod. I think it's great.
Just trying to improve (if possible) the quality of the playback.
Treat me like a 2 year old....
Do I need to re-rip all the CDs (now are on Itunes) with a different software?
If so which one?
After all the music is stored on a HD (which format?) how do I transfer it to the Ipod?
Thanks and sorry for being so lame...
