I have an iPad now kept off-line and out of Apple's grasp for playing chess and solitaire. Never owned an iPod but wanted one earlier in life but finally decided it was too expensive and restrictive.

Instead, I took a Samsung "Smart Phone" and use it in Airplane Mode only to hold many of my songs in MP3 format. Gives me a chance to listen in private and figure out ways to improve a recording... or not!

Great topic, Donny.
