    just looking on ebuyer - I've got a 4gb ipod which is way too small to carry all my musicand was looking to buy a new one (told the insurance company I dropped my ipod in the sea whileon a boat trip in Greece last week but they were having none of it without a police report....).</p>

    This software reckons it can compress files, compatible with itunes, so you can get 4x as much music on your player so instead of forking out for a new player, I thought about trying this first...</p>

    anyone heard of it?</p>

    TIA</p>

    I think it costs about &pound;20 and there is some loss in audio quality although this shouldn't be too noticeable via normal mp3 players. The thing that put me off was the fact that each individual track takes about 30 seconds to compress, I have a big collection of tunes so the time it would take to backup then compress one set seemed excessive.</p>

    I reckon it's a good idea for smaller collections or if you don't want to invest in a larger mp3 player.</p>

    Would that have been the boat trip to Skopelos or the round the Island trip?!!!!
