yeah, a little late...

i got the Dell DJ30... 30GB of space -- my entire CD collection (400 
CDs)... paid $250... use it in the car, at home... i dig it... no 
other tricks -- no voice record, no photos, no color -- but none of 
those interest me...

with the Red Chair software, you can get your music back off it, or 
stream audio to your PC MP3 player... the software also has a real 
nice search...
