The U Chicago Language Labs have begun to explore the question of
using iPods, but we are concerned about trying to ensure that
students cannot copy the audio files from the iPod. Apple tells me
that this is not easily done, but I have also heard that there is
software available to let one do it.

Also, Otmar, can you tell us more about your "filling station"?
