Yes, I need Ipod help again...
Should I put the Ipod earphones on my christmas wish list?
I heard many complaints about them, how the quality is poor and the cable too long. Also, they only seem to have volume and a play/stop/skip function. I can do these things blind while the ipod is in my pocket.
What I really need is a remote that let's me chose the different songs without taking the ipod out of my pocket.
Are there any alternatives to this remote? I wouldn't mind buying un-official products, if they are good.

Otherwise, I am thrilled with my new toy (as you probably all have guessed from my recent request for music.)
What I would like to see in the fifth generation is a shuffle function for the playlists or albums, so I don't have to listen to the songs in the same order all the time. I get bored easily.
Also, a scroll button that allows you to skip from letter to letter would be helpful. With the 2800 songs I have at the moment, I have to give my clickwheel quite the spin to find what I'm looking for.
