Help.
I need some help with ipod-style audio players.
Here's the deal, I haven't messed around with music in the computer since college. Now my wife is busy ripping her CDs to her newly acquired laptop and is hinting an Ipod would be an excellent christmas present.
So ...
I'm currently having her rip her music to WMA format. Do I need to convert that to MP3 to save space (like with WAV files)? Do Ipods and the like play WMA format?
Also, what is the best audio player out there? I've seen there are a lot more possibilites outside of Ipod land ... anything better than others?
Basic use would be just for working out / running / long bike rides and 99% sure it would only be used for music.
Any and all opinions would be appreciated.
