iPod capacity
the size thing: historically, hdd manufacturers fudge the size of the drives. they go by '1GB = 1000 MB = 1 000, 000 KB' and so on. however computers are binary by nature, so 1GB = 1024 MB. so take a 20GB iPod. they claim it is 20GB but really they mean 20,000,000,000 bytes...- algo

Etymotic 4P vs Shure ExC series
how comfortable are they (e2c's or in-ear in general)? I have been considering moving to in-ear headphones for portable use, and I don't really like buds; they are too 'hard' or 'stiff' in my ears. all the in-ear phones look very soft and supple.- algo

So I'm getting an ipod.
yes! that was one scary hour. but anyway, there have been all kinds of problems w/ the new firmware and updating on windows. a lot of people had the hanging at 90% thing. then they would uplug their 'hanged|?' ipod but it would then be stuck at the apple logo and a reset would just bring it...- algo
