At less than 2 ounces the irock! [...]

irock! 730i Digital Audio Player

The MP3 revolution is now in full swing even though some of us have seemingly been left behind. For example, I am not a big user of MP3 players. When it comes to burning tracks I use either Sony mini-discs or iTunes to rip CDs and I swear by both, but when the folks at [...]
