I've ordered an ipod. I realise that doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's a change for me. I've got a tonne of CDs, some of which I've loaded on my PC over the years. I've now decided to load all of my CDs on, which is a non-trivial exercise, and load the whole lot up onto a full size ipod. I currently have an 8GB nano which I use on the train, while out and about, etc. It holds enough music and books and podfics and podcasts for me not to get bored, but it won't hold anywhere near my full set of music. So I've ordered whatever the latest version of the 'classic' is, and will get 160GB to play with. It'll generally sit in a speaker dock in the lounge or the study, letting me access whatever music I want to very quickly. I like the thought. I haven't gone as far as getting networked speakers around the house, but I suspect that'll come when I win the lottery (which is going to happen very soon, I'm sure). I did consider getting a Touch, but can't see what it could do that my Desire doesn't already, so no point spending the extra.

What I did find amusing is the idea that a 160GB ipod could "hold all of your media!". Er, no. Not even close. But it will hold the music (at least for the foreseeable future) and that's what I need it for.

Anyhoo, the plan then is to put my CDs in some storage boxes in the loft or the garage. I'll still have them, but won't need them to sit around taking up all the space they're taking up right now.
