Also annoyed by mismatched clock times... Especially since GPS invented which sends a continues correct time signal, why doesn't it keep the clock correct...
re music; I have a mini usb memory stick with a 'top 200ish' list on random (16 gb, 8$ on Amazon) that plays my favs if I can't be bothered to play with the iPod
