What's on your iPod?

[TooLoftheDeviL]

I do remember them. I've been pondering getting one of their albums, is it worth it?

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.

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.

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?

Ouch that hurt, Biggs...

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.

Would it be ethical to post an mp4 here? What's on your playlist?

Tell me something I didn't know...

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.
