So I bought my 4th ipod today.

[Loobster]

Let's hope it doesn't go the way of the previous three.

[Jakkeh]

It will. It will.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

[attic]

What happened?

Did they self destruct?

 

That would be awesome.

Play with me, benny boy.

[AcheWater]

We can only wish.

 

Am I the only one that thinks Ipods and downloadable singles are killing music, especially the "album?"

[Liberty Belle]

i dont own an ipod. can you put ripped cd's on it or? just D/L stuff they make you buy from itunes?

[Loobster]

I still buy albums. On cd that is. Call me antiquated.

Both. You can also put music on it that you download illegally.

[attic]

I actually like itunes. It's a pretty powerful program.

It loads really really fast.

[Liberty Belle]

ok i just needed to know if yall could put {censored} on it.

I like it a lot. Works great on my mac (it should).

Yup. If I didn't have to travel on public transport so much I doubt I'd have the need for one.

[frankiej]

never had a problem with mine. Id suggest putting a plastic cover on the Ipod if its a 20g. Its saved mine from certain destruction from dropping a handful of times.

my little one that is like a clip is a tuff one...been stepped on, thrown around and works great.

[SonicVI]

I'm on my first iPOD, a 10Gb bought in September 2002, still works fine.

[attic]

I recently got an iphone, and it's pretty amazing.

funny thing is, when you think about it...the 'album' has always been a collection of singles - i mean, thats sort of hat it means!

 

Back in the day of 78s, you only got abt 3-3.5 mins per disc side, so you had singles

 

as time went on, people started using bound books of disc sleeves ("record albums") and, eventaully, cohesive collections [of 78 'singles] were published in pre-packaged album format.

[attic]

There is no song on my player without the rest of the album.

I only buy/download albums in a whole.

Way more satisfying.

[AcheWater]

were published in pre-packaged album format.

 

 

 

IN that way it is comparable.

 

I should have elaborated. Most music coming out seems to be soo effing compressed so it will sound decent coming through computer speakers and little headphone earpieces.

Producers and the like are forgetting about we few who still lisen to our music through sound systems.

[L_Z_nut]

Ummm... so why do you keep peeing on the electric fence? After the 2nd one failed I would have moved on to a different company.

 

MY bro has had his MP3 player for 4-5yrs now. It's been stepped on, dropped in a glass of water, dropped on various floors and once from a 5ft drop, and it still works like the day he got it.

Hmm, I think all my music sounds quite nice on all my equipment.
Maybe you need some better music.

Toshiba Gigibeat + Rockbox > iPod

[Loobster]

Oh well. I like apple products. Last one breaking was my fault. Dropped it on a concrete floor and it gave it a huge dent which {censored}ed the hard drive. I'll be more careful with this one, promise.

[pbone]

i'm buying my third one today. 160GB.

[Loobster]

I got the 80. I've only got 30gb of music.
