Having fun filling up a 30G iPod and was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a good, AFFORDABLE, docking station. And, what are the best AFFORDABLE ear-buds out there that actually go into your ear. TIA.

Re: iPod Docking Stations
What you want to do is to check out the "deal of the day" sites. If you bide your time, you can get a high quality docking station at a great price. Here is one of the deal of the day tracking sites that I use:http://www.zerodaydeals.com/. Keep an eye on one of the site named "Thing Fling". They have had several high end units lately (and one was priced at around $30).
Unless you are a true hard core audiophile, any ear buds with the foam or silicone pieces that go into your ear canal will be more than enough. I use Koss Sparkplugs and couldn't be happier with them.

Re: iPod Docking Stations
I guess affordable is a relative term. I recently got an email from Polk Audio letting me know that they are pushing the IES2 (I-Sonic® Entertainment System 2) for $349. IMHO, they are far better than Bose in terms of sonic fidelity.

Re: iPod Docking Stations
This is being marketed as a IPOD 'docking station' with wheels!
