...I've caved in and bought an iPod Photo 60Gb, and it is a thing of beauty indeed. They have also finally introduced the playlist-within-playlist thing with Smart Playlists, so I basically ran out of reasons not to buy one. I am soooo disappointed that Rio /DNNA dropped the ball by not bringing out a larger capacity Karma, I really am. Their silence over future product directions has been absolutely stupid, stubborn and enraging. Do they have no common sense at all???

Of course, this has now left me with 2 new problems...

i) a way of networking the iPod with only Firewire and USB2 connections

ii) a way of keeping an Empeg, an external HDD, and an iPod in sync.
