HI there, Here's one case where I've found it handy. Back in the bad old days when I used to use windows, I had lots of text-books I needed to read. On the bus was the only time I could do this. I didn't have an iPhone, just a standard old 60 gig iAudio running rockbox, (and a fantastic player it was). Anyways, I converted the text of the book to mp3, used Winamp to create a playlist, and popped the whole thing onto the mp3 player.
