Whichever way you use it - as long as it is working for you.  :)

It will very very rarely skip for a seconds when I am opening large files in
PhotoShop - even then it is rare.  I am on a Mac (not sure it you are).  It
*may* work better there than on Windows (being made by Apple...).

About $30 at Radio Shack - and the new ones even have car adapters... then
again, I use the plug in adapter for the CD player.   I am sure there are
other companies who make similar devices. the iRock is just the first one I
found.
