Alternate software for Jukebox

It is worth the $25 if you do a lot of music transfers to the Jukebox. http://www.redchairsoftware.com/dudebox/ Keba |

JFK-NRT a few times also and plenty left when I arrived each time. Im delighted to be getting a mini-IPOD, it has great sound and is a lot smaller than the Dell, but Im hanging on to the Dell for long hauls.

Sorry, I guess I should have put one in after the comment about not being antisocial (as far as I know) and about Wagner ("Wagner has his moments, but oh the hours") as well. |
Does anybody know by chance when Dell will make their players available in europe, too?

Thanks!

For those of you with devices that take AA batteries, what about those Lithium ones they sell for digital cameras? Not the LiIon rechargables, but the Lithium use-once-then-throw-away ones. They last much longer than alkalines, and are even lighter. I think getting a set or two of those to keep handy when your rechargables give out would do the trick.

I just heard back from Dell Germany that it is not planned to sell the Digital Jukebox in Germany... :-(
Looks I have to decide for the iRiver then... |

My suggestion would be to get an iPod -- any size and there is actually an accesory that hooks up through the dock connector and is basically a back-up/alternate battery source. It works on 4 "AA" batteries (if i'm not mistaken) so you can hook that up on extra long flights -- that attachment provides 15 hours of battery power if i'm not mistaken once again...the perfect way to go! :D

I have to voice my support for the iPods as well. I use my 20gb'er and my new iPod Mini on transatlantic flights every other week, and it works great. I typically use it before takeoff, then after the meal and while I (try to) sleep. I prefer the Mini now as the extra small size makes for great travelling :)

I agree that those battery packs seem bulky and heavy. I like the idea of toting along a auto power adapter, along with an empower-auto dongle. If you end up renting a car this is handy later in the trip as well.
The suction cup thing Belkin has is without a doubt the ugliest thing I've seen for the ipod... |

I have the Iriver 120 also. Great battery life, love the ability to record speeches, other audio sources. And the drag and drop from Explorer is awesome; i back up my Powerpoints on it!
