Too true. My wife has an iPod Shuffle (2) which I gave her, which had 
been given to me by my sister, who had received it as a gift from her 
husband. She's a Mac user, and *still* could not find any way to get it 
to handle 'classical' (and jazz) music in any coherent or useful manner.

Nor can I. Nor can my wife! It's the most useless piece of design, really.

There's room for all approaches, no doubt. I am rarely far form a 
charging point nowadays, but if one rides bicycles (or sails 
dinghys/windsurfers?) for long distances I can see the attraction of the 
humble AAA.	

(But do you really need the Goldberg by anyone other than Gould? :)
