Thank you guys! Awesome podcast. (well, not the ones about ipods). However, you were talking about the auto-makeyourownplaylist - feature being new, but Napster actually has that. You put one song int he playlist, and then click automix, and it makes you a full list. Pretty cool.; Like this Reply to this comment
