The sad demise of Artoo is a terrible blow, but one that I am now confident I can rectify fairly soon, thanks to
aerolyndt (feel better!). But that would still have left a few musicless days, right? That's what I was worried about as well. But today I stumbled across my old iRiver imp350 Slim X mp3 CD player! I just put in a pair of AA batteries and it works just fine... the control stick as well! I'm burning a few mp3 CDs of new stuff right now!

Take care of your equipment and it takes care of you.
