...and this man can sort out your MP3 playlist for you

Too busy to download your CD tracks to your MP3 player? Then employ someone to do it for you.
An "iPod concierge" has been set up by East End music producer Jason Osborne, who has worked with P Diddy and Mary J Blige.
His clients include musicians, footballers and City workers.
Osborne's Move2Digital service costs about 50p per CD. First the CD collection is "ripped" - put on an MP3 format - using an automated system that includes a robot arm to remove CDs from their cases. Then professional DJs create customised playlists.
Osborne said: "It's rather like having your own personal DJ. We work with the client to find out what music they like, then programme playlists using their collection and new tracks we buy for them."
The firm can create playlists for a task, such as going to the gym, or for a specific mood. The final playlist is given to clients in the form of an iPod or a hard drive.
