What I'm Listening To

Techie Update
In computer news, I’ve converted to using Firefox – I tried to resist but to be honest it was inevitable, IE has slowly chipped away at me until I have no confidence in it whatsoever. I’m loving the tabbing in Firefox, as well as the extensions (a gadget geeks dream, plugin-toys to satisfy your gadget fix). I've already abandoned WMP 10 for Winamp 5 for the same general reason.
I’ve also bolstered my music collection thanks to a friend with a portable hard drive full of choons and videos (you didn’t see me, right). I now have around 60gig of music, so I have to get an IRiver H340 to listen to them on. After much deliberation I settled on that model - I'd get an Ipod but I'm not converting my entire collection to AAC, plus it has a built in FM radio which is very important for me.

I like to stand back when these new things come out - just to make sure they work, and that they will be good for me. Saves time in the long run.
Firefox seems lighter, simpler and more intuitive than IE, and yet it has a hell of a lot more functionality. Then again, IE has been built upon itself for years now, and we all know what happens when you continually build on top of code - it starts to crumble. IE could probably do with a bottom up rewrite before they even attempt to take on Firefox, we'll see what the new Windows brings.
On Firefox there is one specific piece of functionality that I love, it's killer for me, and that's the middle button spawning a new tab when clicked on a link. Now that's just genius.

You DO NOT HAVE TO CONVERT your collection to AAC ipods play regular mp3's... Was it you who was spreading this rumour on popex before?
Not sure where these tales come from. You don't have to use itunes either, I don't use itunes and I don't have any AAc files.
