The hard part is finding music that I really want. I guess I have to get used to the fact that I can now listen to almost anything and just fill the sucker up.
I'd rather have a player that can play WMA as well as MP3, seeing as wma is better than mp3, bitrate for bitrate. And I fail to see how viewing images is any great feature, considering the screen is so tiny.
The only thing I dont like about it is how once you've bought a song you can't redownload it. If your harddrive crashes and you have no backup, that's money down the toilet. That's one of the main reasons I like to buy actual cds.
My only gripe is putting in a photo for the album. You can get the photo from Amazon.com but if you put the wrong one in (which you might do when doing it to 10 different albums) and try and change it you can't. You can have it show one of two photos but they will both be on there. And because iTunes writes the image into the .mp3 file you have to get the file again if you want to just put one on.
The artwork isn't written to the song file, its linked via xml.
I have ripped 2 CDs with iTunes and both worked well and sounded great. Quick process too. It puts my downloaded .mp3s right on the iPod. I can't be certain but it doesn't seem like there is enough time going by for them to convert the format before putting them on the iPod.

The logic here is that with a physical CD, if you lose it, the store won't give you another one either. Basically, back up your data to be safe. It would be nice if the store remembered your purchases and let you redownload them though - there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to.
But anyway, i've since gotten a new computer and will back up all my files appropriately now that I have the harddrive room.
I got my black nano yesterday and man it is cool! It's so very small.

Tired of waiting for the online order. Cancelled it -- the apple store had none, ordered another one from the apple store -- then went out and purchased a 4 gig from Best Rip Off (eh whatever wife can have the black on order).
Very impressed so far. It drives my high resistance etmonic research headphones quite well -- although the Senn 600's -- well ... it doesn't.
Can't beat the price/performance/size ratio as of now.
