About your music: as long as it is on your pc and not your Ipod (or other player), I advice you to use .wma instead of mp3. At a bitrate of 160 Kbps it is sounding a bit better than mp3 at 192 Kbps (though it may also depend on the music), while it is much more compact. Sounds great even on a pc with a Realtek onboard solution (talking out of experience with that)
