evening all,

well, i'm amazed. i picked up a new 15gig ipod earlier this afternoon and have only just opened the box. first impression? wow... it's soooo small. i'd only ever seen ipods in photos and seeing it in real life really blew me away.

after ringing every applecentre here in sydney (all to no avail), trs in north sydney just received a shipment, so i rushed on over.

first song? well after much deliberation june of 44's 'recorded syntax' took the money and with my sennheiser hd580's hooked up, it sounds amazing ! (the australian version doesn't seem to suffer from the eu volume limitation).

anyway, back to my pc and ripping a few more cd's with eac/lame 3.90.3.

oh, and it shipped with v2.0.1.

again, wow.
