While the idea of ripping CDs seems antiquated, there are countless numbers who still rely on OPPs (Other People’s PCs) to upload tracks to their iPod. The good people at Apple know this, and are ready to launch iLoad – the CD direct to iPod solution.

Details are few, but we do know the iLoad will upload your CDs directly to your MP3 player, and will come in a wild range of wacky colours and themes.

Eager up loaders can register at www.iload.com to receive launch information via email.
