Question about casino record-keeping. Let's say I need to prove what someone did at a major national casino on a certain day, approximately two years ago. The person used his player's club card on every game he played, and he used the player's club card to get comped on one meal. The more detailed information I can get about his activities, the better. My question is two-part: (1) Can I expect the casino to still have detailed records of what this person did, or would the records have been purged/destroyed by now? (2) What will it take to get the casino to release the records? (You can assume the person will sign a release for me to get the records, but will not go to the casino in person.)

I'm completely clueless about mp3 players. What brands should I be looking at if I just want something that I can copy mp3s to like a simple USB flash drive, and which doesn't require a software install on the host computer (i.e. iTunes)?

Which MP3 player will have controls & a screen that will allow me to choose which podcast to pay, switch from one function to another reliably? My Creative Zen Nano doesn't do it for me and I need another player with a more easily used controls. A larger unit is okay, size is not so important. Price is a factor. Is there a place, website, store where one can actually handle and test players?
