welp, i ended up digging out my old 60gig zune... the reason it was collection dust is because a switched to linux and there is obviously no zune support...
anyhow i now dual boot just so i can manage my podcasts and mp3s....
id really like to find something for internet radio...
if only i could find a deal on a onkyo nc500
but for now the zune works great, and it was free..
