I have joined the masses.

I just bought an iPod Nano. My first iPod.

I got my first one as a Christmas gift this year.

Unfortunately, iPod and Sonos do not play well together.

But it is much easier to do workouts with a Nano instead of trying to strap my Treo to my arm.

I tried to use this Utorrent thing, but I can't figure out how to work the damn thing. How do you get music or video files from it?

Utorrent is the application you use to download the actual torrent. Kinda like limewire, only a whole lot faster. I've downloaded tv shows that are 600MB in under 15 minutes thru Roadrunner. The place I go to find the actual torrents are at demonoid.com. The only downfall to demonoid is that you may have to wait to signup, but it's worth it. You can try out torrentspy.com in the meantime, but there's quite a bit of trash on there. You see what i'm talking about.

Somewhat off topic,

My daughter (7years) got an iPod Nano from grandma for Christmas. I was a little worried because the SPL level generated by modern headphones is loud enough to damage her hearing, it's specially important for growing up kids.

I was looking on the internet for some SPL limited headphones (Sennheiser used to make them for walkmans) and I found out that you can set up the max output level in the Nano menu and even lock it with a password.

Do other mp3s like the zune also have a similar feature?

But then how is she supposed to enjoy Norwegian Death Metal??

i have no idea
i do know that they used to cripple some mp3 players (mostly in europe though), and the only way to make them work at max level would be to get some sort of unlock code

No ing WAY!!!! I put my foot down!

She can't listen to that garbage until she's at least 7 and a half!


I know it's coming but until it becomes an issue, I'll try to be a good parent

Me too.
I don't even see where or when i would use one either.
When I am at home I have a radio, computer, and tv... plus 2 kids- i can;t haveear buds in watchingnad playing with 2 kids.
When I am in the car I have the radio.
When I am atthe gym I watch CNN.
When I am not at home or in the car I am usually running errands AND still have the 2 kids that need my constant attention.
There is like 4 hours a week where I could fit in some iPod time.. btu I don;t think it;s safe to use in the shower.

you'd be surprised if you got one, my wife was the same way. i got her a Shuffle and i can't get her to take the earbuds out now.

I noticed that these things are damn loud too! I played in bands throughoout my teenage years and beyond so my hearing's pretty much screwed anyway. It's amazing how good this technology is though. It's hard to believe you can store so much data on such a small device!
