[ubuntu-us-ut] MP3 player advice

[MilesTogoe]

Great, thks for the info - I looked up gnomad - looks like it has most 
Creative models covered.  Maybe this was covered earlier, but with the 
mic need, any suggestions on model ? 

I'm also about to get a set of headphones to listen to the mp3 stuff 
(and block out noise) - I was talking to some students with headphones 
($25 Panasonic & JVC), they said they were okay but one girl said her 
dad had a pair of Bose, and when she put them on, it was off to nirvana 
land, like switching off the world.    $300 is really pricey but at what 
price is peace & sanity worth ?  Maybe the way to go is agile fashion, 
buy the JVC and then if okay but not great, move up to Bose.
