I recently bought an 8-gigabyte iPod Nano from Apple. For readers who are not teenagers, this is a gadget smaller than a Heath bar that holds music -- lots of music. The cute thing about the Nano is that it is solid-state, without moving parts. Bingo. You have a massive library of music, easily organized into whatever categories you want -- country, classical, what have you -- and no shrieking ads.
