I really like my Sennheiser PX-100 headphones. They aren't earbuds, but they fold up small like a pair of glasses. They've been very durable and sound great--and I've heard from many other people that they are the best sound you'll find for their price ($40 or less).<br><br>For importing, I say 256 AAC. They take up twice as much space as 128, but with smart playlists you can keep your favorites on the iPod full-time, let the rest auto-cycle through your library, and in effect have access to ALL your music without space being that much of an issue.<br><br><br>nagr[color:red]o</font color=red>mme<br><br>I require stroyent!<br>TeamMacOSX.com | MacClan.net
