So I'm finally stepping out of the stone age! My wife bought me an 80 gig Ipod Classic for my birthday. I'm finally figuring out how to get all of my music in it, some 350+ cd's along with other music files, I figured out how to buy games from the Itunes store. (Check out the battleship game if you haven't already!! It chews through battery like hell, but it's a great game)

So, the question is......

What Ipod/MP3 player accessories have you guys found to be the most useful or better yet, the most wasteful? I got a case for it, I couldn't stand all the fingerprints on the back metal case, and I have the Belkin FM transmitter for the truck. What else should I look at?

Nothing

You've pretty much got it covered. Aside from some different headphones, and a hard acrylic case for it, can't think of anything else you'd need.

You need...

You need lots and lots of free podcasts.
You need a speaker dock for each room in your house.

Second the podcasts

Not many good dad ones though...

Just do what I do, hook it up to the surround sound and crank it up.

The Transmitter may be a problem

If you have a lot of radio stations in the area, you will have constant interferance as you travel.

You may just have to upgrade your car stereo to one with an iPod connector.

Remove the antenna.

That's what I did with my Sirius.
