I have a G3 iPod: 40 GB, touch wheel, firewire.

I am really psyched about these rumors of a 120 GB iPod, now that Samsung
(Samsung?) has the new drives.  I have about 109 GB of music, so that would be
ideal!

I'll wait and see and maybe get a new one.

I also have a 1GB iPod Shuffle, which I use more and more.  I put unrated music
of non-weird genres on my iPod, and rate them while I listen.  Then I have a
complex, compound Smart Playlist, based on play count, last played, and
ratings, that populates my Shuffle.  It's a nice synergy.

I just wish there was an easier way to tell iTunes that a playlist should not
have more than X tracks or Y percent of one artist.
