What's on your iPod?

Same thing for Tatu...

The song is catchy, but can get annoying - especially to other people. Dunno about the rest of any of their albums.

Despite the hype and such and so forth, I really like Tatu's album. I would give it the thumbs up.

I have an iPod shuffle...it's only a hundred bucks, unless you get the 1 gb version for about $149. About the size of a pack of gum, and very nice sound. Lots of different music on mine, from Queen to James Taylor to Stan Rogers to The Doors to Welsh Men's Choirs to Leo Kottke to Pink Martini to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to Squirrel Nut Zippers to Carly Simon to....lots of other good stuff. Makes walking long distances easier.

Just recently got an ipod mini and I've put a wide range of music on it including:

B-52s
Beach Boys
The Beat
Benny Goodman
Bjork
The Clash
Duke Ellington
Elvis Costello
Frank Sinatra
Glenn Miller
Great Big Sea
Green Day
Guns & Roses
Ibrahim Ferrer
Iggy Pop
Jim Cullem Jazz Band
k.d. lang (her earlier country stuff)
Lyle Lovett
Michelle Shocked
Monty Python
The Pogues
Ray Charles
The Specials
Talking Heads
Tom Waits
Violent Femmes

There's also a number of classical works by composers like Handel, Orff, & Wagner as well as some ragtime music. It's going to be great for when I'm out riding my bike for exercise this summer.

Hey! I don't have an iPod and I'm 17 (my nickname, however, is "old man Dan" so I guess you're right).
My iTunes has right now around 530 songs from these artists (implies 3 or more songs from each artist):

Animals
Aretha Franklin
Band of Gypsys (anyone know that one? )
Beach Boys
Bob Dylan
Cat Stevens
CCR
Chicago
Dave Clark Five
David Bowie
Diana Ross & the Supremes
Elton John
Elvis Presley
Four Tops
Jackson 5
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Kinks
Led Zeppelin
Marvin Gaye
Ray Charles
Rolling Stones
Simon and Garfunkel
Stevie Wonder
T-Rex
The Association
The Beatles (over 150 songs, removed around 20 bad ones)
The Byrds
The Hollies
The Lovin' Spoonful
The Mamas & the Papas
The Monkees
The Searchers
The Temptations
The Who
Tugboat Annie (if anyone knows this band, I will be more than shocked )
Turtles
Wings
Zombies

I do want an iPod, though, but I want something with a really long battery life and I heard that it isn't that good. Any suggestions?

iPod, StuPod..? Nope I don't have any.

I plan to buy an mp3-player but it will definitely not be an iPod.
They're way too pricey for me and I also don't like the design (yes I am anTodd one, I know ) -- they're much too B&O for my taste.

I just got an iPod and have to say it is far more confusing to use than I expected. It keeps flashing "Do not disconnect" and getting songs onto it is not going well.

[SäbelFechter]

To disconnect it, you'll see a little button next to the name of your iPod on the list on the left in iTunes. You need to press that to eject your iPod from the computer and then you can disconnect it from the cable when the usual interface appears on its screen. Not sure what problem you're having with loading music on to it so I can't give you any advice there.

How about The Them (Van Morrisson's old group) or The The?

What is this obsession with personal music devices, anyway? Doesn't anyone enjoy just plain, simple silence anymore?

[Pauli]

No i-pod but Sony.....
too many songs to list, have put 2/3 of my CDs on it, that adds up to little over 4000 songs. Taste pretty much everything, except hard rock and screaming whatever. But then, this depends on how you personally perceive screaming and hard rock....
Cool invention though, whether it's i-Pod, Sony or anything that fits on a chip of that size. Just simply amazing!
And very practical.
