Best mp3 player, bar none
1 of 2 found this helpful second one I've owned, basically because I wanted a dedicated mp3 player and apple made them the best. They shouldn't have discontinued the product because it is so good, so if you can get your hands on one, do it. What separates apple ipod from say, streaming spotify is that A) it has ratings 1-5 stars for songs B) it has smart playlists, which you can create using a wide assortment of criteria and logic, and they update on the fly. This feature is NOT available for any other way of listening to music C) you can import any mp3 or lossless file, including songs you've made yourself or really obscure music that no streaming service has. Plus you can load audiobooks. The 160GB of storage is more than generous and supports my ever-growing music library.

Great CD with bonus tracks
I bought the mp3 version of this album when it came out 12 years ago. The CD version is of much better audio quality and has extra tracks. Overall this is a fantastic record. I have been a fan of both iced earth and blind guardian for many years and when you put them both together the product is phenomenal. Some of Hansi's best work as a vocalist and lyricist. Also some of Jon's best guitar work. My favorite off the album is 'down where I am' it is an extremely deep and evocative track and I feel it is Hansi's shining moment as a singer. The opening track, 'crimson king' is also excellent. If you like metal, or in general good guitar and vocals this is a must buy.
