is the cradle really that great because i might get a 2gig with cradle or the the 4 gig without cradle with me space isnt much of a big deal as long as i can delete unwanted songs (i can do that right?) and i heard the cradle is pretty nice what do you guys say?

I'm definitely going to look for the cradle. It's a nice addition, especially since it has speakers.

thnx for your opinion and you can delete unwanted songs that youve already put on the player right?

Yes, with the 4gb you can delete songs that you don't want without the use of a computer, I think you'd have to upgrade the firmware(which is very easily done) if you wanted to do this on the 2gb. But deletion is as easy as breathing as long as you have Windows Media 10 or 11.

I'd get it without the cradle if I were in your shoes, only because I don't think the cradle looks too snazzy. And if you are going on a trip adn need a lot of high quality music you might want a 4 gb.

what exactly is the cradle used for?
