That's how I am with foreign or rare music. It just isn't worth buying, especially since buying it used won't be making the artist any money.
I like doing this, but haven't found a program that has really worked well...What program do you use to associate the album covers with the music?
I used an Irock for years, 128 megs builtin and a 128 meg SMC...but bought an Ipod last year only because Bestbuy had an awesome replacement policy - they stopped using this for obvious reasons posted after. Pretty much if it stops working, or doesnt work to teh extent that it should, I can go return it and get a new one. If they dont have my model, they have to give me what is in stock. So when the new versions come around I can get a free upgrade. I have all of this in writing from the Store and District Managers aswell.
I found out about it through my cousin who bought a used ipod, when they use to do that, it broke about a month in. She took it back and got the brand new U2 ipod for the upgrade. So for $150ish she obtained a U2 ipod the day they came out. Now Im not a big U2 fan, but we all know they are going touch screen eventually. Other than that and Wikipodia I would have gone with something else. Granted Itunes is a pos and would not import a chunk of my music; at the time there were 14 gigs it detected 1.3 gigs so I had to manually add each folder. And even now it wont add some songs I was recently given, itll take part 2 but not part 1.
As for album art, I usually stray from it. Not because of the space it takes, which I am currently streamlining everything to hold out on these rigs until later this year when I build my upgrade - Hello 1-2tb storage. I just dont care about it. It works for some, just not for me.

Btw, I've got a 30GB Zen Vision: M and I love it.
Program? On XP all you have to do is save a JPG or GIF as "folder" and put it in the folder.
