Message: <blockquote data-quote="Swissboy" data-source="post: 3151042" data-attributes="member: 4926">The reason for sticking to the unreliable ipod is the speaker I have for it. Its easily the most compact decent sound system that I know. So getting a newer ipod would no longer allow to use that set-up. Also, I doubt that I would still have full access to those recordings. I must have changed the computer software twice, in addition to some major hardware components. So I am presently attempting to use the 7 CDs of the Stokes series for a substitute that I could then use on any mp3 player. I still have some way to go though. I managed to convert the CD tracks into mp3 files, this time reliably. But many of those tracks have voices of two species on them as each CD only allowed 99 tracks. Again, another of the AVS programs has proven most helpful. Though treating around 600 tracks takes time.In the end, I hope I can make it work the way I want. Essentially, I'd like to use the recordings the way my Birdjam is organised. I don't need pictures or range maps in this case. So that facilitates things a bit.I hate apple for making products that can't be used freely. So certainly no new/used ipod, except if I could use it with the convenient Travelsound speaker.</blockquote>
