a bit off topic but eh, what can you do

An example was this past weekend at ProgPower. I had my Ipod and a set of computer sperkers in the room at the hotel. Instant stereo system with over 4000 songs to choose from!

No doubt brother!!! Was great to have hundreds of songs to choose from out of a small but loud player! Beats hauling a bunch of cd's around with you. I personally cannot wait to get one of these, though I will dread the initial loading

I am a total mp3 freak!! I have all my favorite albums riped as mp3's with the --alt-preset standard settings. Having connected my PC to my living room stereo I have acces to my albums within seconds!!

However I have not yet bought an mp3 player. But I am looking around for one at the moment.

Yes, the initial loading was a pain, especially since my computer hard-drive crashed not long after I first did the load. Long story, but in the end I had to do the whole damned thing over again. Once it's in though, it's in....and you are off and running.

I tend to listen to albums straight through, probably like most folk here. But I would also point out that choosing the Shuffle option from time to time produces eerie results. Sometimes my iPod chooses 5 or 6 of my favorite songs in a row from different albums. It kinda weirds me out a little. Or, it will choose just acoustic songs all of a sudden. It's totally random, really, but sometimes I am a little impressed with it's "choice" of order. Still, I don't shuffle too much, just when I'm too lazy or uninspired to choose something.

ipod's are SO GAY, Z0MG T3HY 4R3 S0 P0PvL4R (hence being gay)

anyways, I love my ipod, like said before, it's genious. I have my entire cd collection at my fingertips, in the size of a deck of cards.

I honestly dont see how you can think they're stupid, I dont download music, unless I'm sampling from a cd I plan on buying, I buy cds every week (or whenever I have money) so.......dont understand where you're coming from there.
