    Very cool. Although that bit about uploading songs to their website in order to play along w/them seems weird. I bought a $40 VOX AC30 headphone amp several months ago and love the thing. I plug my iPod right into it and can play along through headphones to anything in my music library - granted, the effects, etc aren't as robust and diverse as something like the irig, but I love it anyway and would highly recommend it (and wish more manufacturers would get on board with it *cough* Fender *cough*):

    Holy crap. I've just been doing some research on this thing and I think I may be in love - you can expand your 'rig', save presets, import songs & set in/out points to loop for practicing, etc. You can even download a free version from the iTunes store and mess around w/canned demos, which I'm going to try next. If that goes well, though, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this thing. Sounds like the PERFECT mobile practice solution:

    i've been researching the iRig and similar items all weekend, this is my last stop.

    i gotta say i think im sold from all the testimonials and vids i've seen. this things seems so rad!!

    versatile, portable, personal...exactly what im looking for

    factor in the fact that i already have some store credit at the apple store a few blocks from my house...sold!!!

    i will try and report back in the coming weeks about my experience and hopefully success!!!
