Digital Niko - looking for content

Found a couple of good links for children's podcasts.

Digital Niko

We wanted to get Niko something that could play mp3's, but we didn't want headphones. We bought him the Kid-Tough FP3™ Player from Fisher-Price.

Pros:
  • Simple controls, he can select songs
  • He loves the little icons that represent each song
Cons:
  • Doesn't support Vista
  • Can only import music from a CD, so I have to burn a CD from iTunes, than import it
  • There is a high-pitched buzzing sound when using the speakers. It doesn't bother some people, but it is the only thing I can hear.
  • For the player and the speakers, over $100
Overall, I can't say that I recommend it, but I haven't found anything better. I recently added some songs to a PSP to let him try. I'll write about that later.
