OK,
So it's just a little iPod nano in turquoise blue. It's amazing how
fast you can dump a load of songs into that little bugger. And I mean
little . . . I didn't realize they were that tiny. Don't sound half bad
neither, though I'm not fond of the hang-in-the-ear type phones. I was a
little concerned about going with the 8gb Nano, but I just dumped most of my
mp3 favorites in there, and I still have over 6gb left.

I like it.

Does the degraded quality of the MP3s bother you?

Only slightly more than the degraded quality of a lot of what I'm listening
to . . . I've got some pretty old stuff in there, some of it taken from
vinyl with the original "bacon frying" effect still intact. :)

Besides, I gotta know what "the kids" are hearing these days when they
listen to Sarahtonin songs on their pods so I can try to mix and master in a
way that will survive the degradation.

(I just made that last part up to sound real professional like)

:)

PS: . . . and don't forget, kids, Sarahtonin's "Wayward" album is available
on iTunes!

Remember, you can now set iTunes to import at
full-bandwidth 16/44.1 and no compression at all.

Of course that only means you get 10-12 CD's or so on a Nano
8gig, but that may be enough if you use the computer as the
library and just put what you want on the ipod.

My Classic 80gig now hs every CD I own that I really care about
on it, and is barely over 1/2 full. No compression at all, and it
sounds fabulous.

Another thing I am relearning is how much better good cans
sound than any speaker. My Senn HD580's murder even the
best monitors when it comes to fidelity and low distortion.

I hate cans, and would much rather listen in a room, but I have
to admit that these things are on a whole different level than
speakers.

myPod is my bestest little buddy. He sits at my desk all day long and
just serenades me from a collection of 11,000 songs.

The factory Apple earbuds suck heavy -duty raw sewage. Can't get 'em
to fit my ears for anything.

First thing I did was to order up a nice pair of Sony in-ears with the
silicone tips. Huge difference. You can also pony up the $$$ for a
pair of Etymotics or Shures if you're really serious.

I'm on my second pod now -- 60gb photoPod. First one was a
2nd-generation 5gb pod that just finally started to develop hiccups.
Wife has a pink iPod Mini, I also have an original "pack of gum"
Shuffle.

Love 'em.

Considering there's only one good song per CD, that's really
about 100 to 120 CD's of stuff you like... not bad LOL!!!

Hey, it's true! Even my favorite CDs have at the most 4 or 5 songs on them
that I really want circulating in my library.
