So my Sister decided that I should come out of the dark ages and donated an Ipod shuffle to the cause. So here I sit, an old hippie, listening to the Dead, Dylan, Little Feat, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Hot Buttered Rum and Bob Seger. What's on your Ipod?
that's great tony!
mine has all of my music so it's got all kinds of stuff. the bulk of the space though is taken by the classical stuff since i keep almost all of them in ridiculously high quality.
Geez,I think it's like 600 songs.Almost all oldies and one-hit wonders.
I think my wife and I are up to 2,500 songs of all different types of music; the whole gamut except metal.

Except metal? I'm sorry to hear it...metal can be so fulfilling.Quote:

YouTube - IN THIS MOMENT - Call Me (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
253 megs is taken up by my apps, but we've already got a topic on that :D
Another 248 megs is taken up by e-books. I've recently discovered that I like reading on my ipod, so I've been packing in the free books.
Talk radio podcasts and nothing else.
I can't live without music and my IPhone goes everywhere with me. Aside from the music installed on it, I do tend to use Pandora often depending on my mood.
About 60% Jazz (Mingus, Miles, Rollins, Blakey etc)
20% of New Wave/Post Punk (The Smiths, Depeche Mode)
10% of 80's and early 90's Punk (Black Flag, Minor Threat)
10% of various Podcasts
Heck, what's not on it. all of my photos for the past 7 years, all of my cd's, about 3000 songs, legal and talk radio podcasts, music videos, the movie black hawk down, ... .
I swore i was never going to get one, and now that I have an Ipod, I love the darn thing.

P.S. that Blondie cover song ROCKS!! I'm going to be getting that tonight me thinks.
what's on my iPod?Lynn's entire shaving DVD. Audiobook of 'master and commander' Stravinsky rite of spring and firebird. Four volume set of John Coltrane. Miles Davis bitches brew and kind of blue. Beach boys pet sounds. Rolling stones flowers and beggars banquet. A ton of James brown. Various songs from the cramps. Oh and some barbecue sauce.
Doesn't it though? SWMBO said "you've got to listen to this", which usually doesn't turn out too good. This time it worked out pretty well though.Quote:

Billy Joel, Elton John, Shinedown, Disturbed, SlipKnot, Red, System of a Down, Cage the elephant, Rascal Flats, Tom Petty, Jimmy Eat world, Breaking Benjamin and the list goes on.
Mines on a cowii, I refuse to fall for Icrap : )
My ipod has mostly all kinds of music from oldies to today along with pictures of my kids and my dogs.:rock:
??? Pearl Jam is one of my favourite bands of all time. seriously. but i respect your opinion, as there are lots of factors that influence musical taste, but i can get past the fact that i don't give a crap what Eddie Vedders opinion on politics is :)Quote:

A great selection of tunes here..!
I've got a load of stuff on mine, from classical music (Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Bach..) to death metal (Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom..)! At the moment I`m mostly listening to the new Dream Theatre album (John Petrucci has got some chops, that guy can really shred!) and some Symphony X. I like my prog metal! And the Chickenfoot album as well, thats very good...!
I've also got some "guitar hero" type stuff like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and some of Paul Gilberts solo stuff. I'm an anally retentive, OCD shred guitar player so I love listening to all that stuff!
I've also got some '80's metal/ rock like Van Halen, Racer X etc... as well as every Metallica album out there. Oh, and some Yngwie Malmsteen and Black Label Society, plus Creed and Alter Bridge, and dont forget AC/DC.... I could go on and on..!
Haha. I've got a Samsung, although calling it an MP3 player makes it sound so limited. :)Quote:

I was just pulling whiskers :DQuote:

Mostly blues, anything from Robert Johnson to Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Blues, blues, and then some more blues. Just now The Black Keys, Dion, North Mississippi Allstars, R.L.Burnside, Skip James, Madeleine Peyroux and J.J. Grey & Mofro.
YouTube - R.L. Burnside - Poor Black Mattie
Amund.
About 2,000 songs ranging from classical to rock with some 90's hip-hop mixed in. Most of what I listen to is underground type stuff. Radio is trash so I stay away from it... You have to do some research if you want to find what's good by your own standards versus what somebody else tells you to listen to.
... and since nobody else did -- don't knock the iPod because you don't have one. I've tried mp3 players from all major companies and my iPhone takes the cake...
I don't knock it because I don't have one (wife does), I knock it because it was a disgustingly high price for fewer features when I wanted a new MP3 player a few years ago.Quote:

for the record (if anyone cares :)) i really like my Ipod nano video (though rarely use the video function -- tiny screen) but i HATE itunes. it might be because my computers aren't all that new and it runs slow and to me is just not set up well. plus i hate the ituneshelper.exe and ipodservice.exe that run in the background yet aren't needed.
sorry that was off topic, but it bugs me.
You can end those processes via msconfig. All it does is start itunes whenever you plug your ipod into your computer.Quote:

That said, I thoroughly enjoy my iPod Touch. I use it more as a computer/net machine than I do for music. It does what its meant to do very well, and I haven't found a better MP3/net machine yet.
For active activities, I have a small Sandisk sansa mp3 player. It's short on user friendliness, but I picked it up for about $15. I load only music I want to listen to, and if it gets broken, no tears from me.
oh ya they are disabled! along with jqs.exe, xpize.exe and taskswitch.exe. i have a slow computer so i have to do everything i can to speed things up.Quote:

A few years ago I bought a Creative Zen Vision M thingie, which served me well. They outclassed the Apples on audio quality and it seems the Apples still aren't top notch. Too bad, because their devices otherwise are nice. Software stinks though, but I believe apps like MediaMonkey talk to Ipods too.
For the MP3 players, I'm quite interested in what that new Zune HD will bring. Unfortunately it needs a dock for the HD playback (would be nice if the thing just had an HDMI output), but one of the main things will, again, be audio quality. So I'll keep my eyes on some audiominded reviewsites. My Creative still works, so I shouldn't really think about changing it, especially with all kinds of expenses coming up. :)
Musicwise, I like to listen to a boatload of things: From old soul to brutal death metal. Classical music in general bugs me, for some reason. One of my recent picks that get a bit more playtime (changes all over the place): Revolting C0cks - Sex-O-Olympico. Funny stuff, it cracks me up when I listen to the lyrics, and the music is quite energetic. Gets me to work in no-time. :D
We agree once again.Quote:

No kidding! I can't describe it, but when I come into contact with these types, I have this almost overwhelming urge to kick them in the shins. It just seems like the thing to do.Quote:
