In 1986 I was advised by my brother n law’s brother Dave to buy a CD player. He was dead on with the new technology and now some 20 years and 800+ CD’s later I have now made a new switch.
I bought this:

I will never look back. It is incredible. I may never listen to commercial radio again - why should I when I have about 10,000 songs at my disposal. Most clear-channel owned radio stations (which is now around 70% of the market) play about 1,000-2,000 songs. This is why you here the same songs over and over. No more! I also purchased a radio transmitter so I can play my nano through any stereo - so great in the car.
What I have bought so far from the Apple store:
New Fergie Song
Lots of Journey
Roundabout by Yes
Lots of Dance music from when I used to go to dance clubs
A watershed moment. JVD
