dancingleafugh okay.
so yeah it's my birthday Saturday.
and.... J has decided that he feels guilty etc.
so for my birthday he's thinking we should order, using our saved up AirMiles points - we have a TON of them- not enough to fly anywhere but more than enough for an iPod for me.
I've been trying to buy a new portable boombox for dragging with me for teaching purposes. However... pretty much all you can buy are docking stations for iPod's. (lightweight etc.)
I have an MP3 player and I really like it. but... yeah - it's an iPod nation and pretty much it's taken over the world. So I'm agreeable to the change over -
For teaching I use CD's. I like using CD's ... not sure IF I would actually be able to use an iPod - but lets just assume I could. It could potentially be a pain in the ass but.... lets assume.
Now - the options we are considering are...
the Apple iPod classic 120GB. - huge. but seriously ? really? I could put everything on there and more.
OR
the Apple iPod 8 GB. Should hold all of my music and leave me a nice chunk of my 'points' left over if I wanted to get that... travelling boom box.
hmmm. I think I need to check our points total. (I have enough points for both the 120 GB AND the player.)
Cr@P. I should pay $ for this. It is technically REALLY a business write off! Sh*t!
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW! Do you have an iPod. What do you like/dislike about it. Is 8 GB enough is 120 too much. What factors should I be looking at.
What I really need is my own (fully functional) computer - but if J gets back to work.... I can HAVE OURS!
*how would it be a pain in the @ss? I edit music. I break a song down into managable sections and put it on a disc. Usually each managable section goes on in 3 repetitions. Combo 1 - plays 3 times, Combo 2 - plays 3 times ... etc. etc. If I want the song or specific section on repeat - awesome - I can do that. For review - If I just put the disc in - we can just repeat a section before moving on to the next. It's all beside the point. I have a system and I LIKE IT. I'm old and resistant to change.

Date: 2009-04-06 06:06 pm (UTC)The touch is nice because the screen is larger (for video) and it has games and apps. 8G is quite a bit, but probably won't hold your entire music collection.
I've never done sound file editing with itunes. You may be able to set repeat points in a track. I'll look it up later if you haven't already made a decision.
I am nerdy, yet I am still cantankerous with portable electronics.
