Yeah I have an hour commute to work both ways, and burning CDs is honestly getting old. I'm thinking an iPod is becoming closer to a necessity for my sanity in the mornings. In the morning my brain is so ridiculously picky with music, even some of my favorite bands sometimes just disgust me at 6:15 in the morning. Need to be able to have a bit more of a selection. And burning a CD in the morning is a bit too slow of an option, I have my routine down to within a minute.
I might even be willing to ride the bus this winter if I could throw a few episodes of heroes or something on there.
