If you are looking for an earbud management system, check out BudFrog.com. This clip on attachement allows you to wrap your ear phones cord around it and simply adjust the length as well as transform them into mini speakers which comes in handy for your iPod's alarm clock. They come in different colors to match your iPod, and you can own one for $6.95. I gotta say they are cute, but realistically, not sure how much use I would get out of it.;)
