I think, since this relates to music, it should probably go in The Lounge. Gen Chat isn't too much of a stretch, but music/TV/movie/book-related stuff goes in The Lounge.

Welcome to the upper forums though.

I recommend the Creative Zen. My husband and I both have one, and I like it much more than iPods. Check it out and see if they have a model with the features you're looking for--I think you'll like it.
