You know, if you're willing to go that route, a bus-powered USB hard drive might do you just enough justice as an iPod would. You should be able to pick up a 20GB 2.5-inch 4200RPM Samsung drive (read: a drive with a warranty of at least 3 years) somewhere for relatively cheap, and the enclosure is something like $20-30 on top of that. Just an idea. Might even be cheaper and/or worth the little bit of extra cash even.
