Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 pryleas over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of pryleas. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Moving home in Germany is very expensive, ieednd the few miles from my little village to the barn require me to pay 2000.00 Euros, as much as it would have require me to pay with a UK removal firm to transport my household goods all the way from Wales to southern Germany. Labour costs in Germany make moving house very costly, perhaps one of the reasons why the labour marketplace is less flexible people would rather stay put once they've gone to live in a location.
