Do you have iPod Envy?

My wife has wanted to get an MP3 player for a while and I have been looking for the right one. I have a couple of (ViewSonic and Hitachi)PocketPC's that I use and have been thinking about why not just use the PPC to play the music. The problem is that using the PPC to play the music isn't as easy as a single purpose device like the iPod. The software that is out there is ok but I found a program emulates the iPod on a PocketPC. Check out the iPod clone for the pocketpc from https://www.starbriteltd.com/ and it's only $20. (disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with this company) What is your experience with using the PocketPC as a MP3 player?

  I've been using my iPaq as an MP3 player, and it works fine.
  The problems are battery autonomy (with the first iPaqs at least) and storage space. I downgrade the files to 64Kbps to have two hours of music.

  Nope, never will touch the iPod.
  
  iRiver is what you want, plug n play file system, none of this turdware from Apple.

  I do read Slashdot. But not everyday. I do read google news everyday (every few hours)
  
  I saw the story on google first and followed the link to the cnet article.

  Alright, this is just cool.  It's a code highlighter.  It parses your code and creates HTML...
