IPOD Mini

[SequSpur]

Okay, maybe I'm stupid but do you guys just buy iPods etc to be trendy? Or do you actually use them on a regular basis? Where do you go that you actually need to use it? If your home, don't you listen to music on your stereo or computer? If you are in the car, then on your sound sytem? Where do you even use your iPod (other than maybe working out)?

I just don't get the mass appeal.

Exactly. I don't understand why I paid >$200 for an overpriced walkman.

If you only use the thing for music, or need one that's really tough, has tons of battery life......

Ipods are great because they play almost every kind of unprotected music format, except WMF files, and it plays them very well if you invest in priceier ear buds. The ITunes software allows for easy purchase of songs from Itunes online, plus also allows for easy transferability to your mobile player. With an IPOD you can also Podcast, with a inexpensive add-on you can podcast to your car or home stereo or to other IPODs. Fashionable? yes, but they became the industry standard because they are good.

I'm in Kori's camp.

I rarely listen to my Dell DJ. I have the FM hookup so I can listen to it on my drives to SA/San Marcos/Austin, but that's mainly it.

It's rare that I will use it, even when I'm walking or taking the bus to class. I just don't have the want to hook the damn thing up all the time. I thought I could do it at work, but I just can't. I'm usually answering a phone or looking over pages or something.

But once you buy a song from iTunes, it's not "yours"...you can only transfer it to your iPod, or burn it a limited number of times on a CD. I wanted to put some songs I purchased from iTunes on my cell phone but couldn't. That's one of the reasons why I ditched it....I was mad.

And I still hate the control.

The player I posted has FM built in, runs 45 hours on a single AA battery, and is tough as nails.

Been thinking of getting my GF one for her birthday but i was wondering how many people get their music legally?

I don't really listen to music much anymore and if i do the radio's usually fine for me but how safe is downloading now? I haven't burned jacked MP3's in over a year now. Does everybody shut off sharing and just get the MP3's they want?

I can't see me s ing out that much if the only thing thats safe to put on there is her CD collection.

I go to www.allofmp3.com. I don't trust peer to peer or bittorrent. You can get a song at any quality or any format for 192kbps an average song is about 15 cents. For about $30 I got about all the newer music I've been wanting to get. It's illegal for them to sell music, I'm just not sure it's illegal to download the music as long as you don't copy your purchased files and give them to someone else.

I'm also thinking about getting a regular ipod and hooking it up to an aux in on a new car stereo. Just don't know if I want to get a new car stereo AND a new ipod.

It would be cool to have all my music in one spot.

I don't think MP3 players are for everyone. Some people won't use them. But considering how much I use my discman, and how many times I don't have a cd I want to listen to with me, I'm sure I'd love an Ipod.

I am in possession of a new ipod! They couldn't fix hers (that she just got in May, BTW)at the Apple Store. My daughter will be thrilled! But it came at a high price.....

Opening day at The Shops at La Cantera

It was the most horrible experience ever! I never want to go back... I know... I know.... It shames me as a woman to have to say that, but it's true

SHE OWES ME! SEQU TOO! THEY BOTH MADE ME GO......

What!?! Why was it so horrible? Just the crowd?

[pseudofan]

The crowd, the parking (or lack of), the people (rude)....

The place is absolutely gorgeous! It is beautiful. I am so sad that I never want to go there again

Oh, you'll want to go again.

Let the shock wear off.

I'll go when it's not so crowded. And then I'll come home and tell you fairytales of Coach purses on discount and Manolo Blahnik shoes at cost. Your eyes will light up and we'll be on our way to find shiny things at Tiffany.

You don't need an Ipod to hear the sound of CHA CHING.

I want to buy an ipod 60 GB one. I never realized how quickly I'd fill up my stuff. I even stopped downloading stuff because I filled up my entire D drive which is 45 GB. I have to wait to get my ipod so I can transfer the songs all the way to there and then download some more.

WHY??

[Horry For 3!]

WHY??

Because I have a cd player if I want to listen to music...

[spurs=bling]

okay, but they only bad thing about a cd player is that the music will skip,and you can't put it in your pocket.
