This guide is already out of date as the new Ipod Nano use flash memory
rather than a disc drive. Also mention of Ipods being MAC specific is
misleading since Itunes runs perfectly fine on Windows. I don't personally
own an MP3 player at the moment although I would strongly consider an Ipod
when selecting one.

(Also a minor point - many PDAs use buttons rather than pens.)

Nevertheless, useful information on how to build a bird song library for
field use.

thanks, Charles.
