Man do I not want to work today.

I have a question for you, internets: how do you manage your music, electronically speaking? I have an ooooooold iPod and I'm pretty sure it's going to die soon, so I am trying to figure out the best thing to get next. ( here is my deal )

I AM POSTING THREE TIMES IN ONE WEEK. O.O But I went to such a great show last weekend, and I am filled with enthusiasm for the people involved, and I want to share!
