Understandable if you just wanna go with a portable. Different strokes... =]

It makes a lot of sense these days. Other than the interface and expandability issues... if you just want all of your music nice and portable, a karma or ipod or the like to a good quality aux in line is more than suitable for most.

Good luck either way you decide to go... and thanks to those that offered help... said it before and i'll say it again, this generosity on this board never ceases to amaze me. You guys continue to renew my faith in humanity.
