Both MLW and The Princess have Ipods. MlW has the Shuffle, and The Princess has a Nano.
Both of them love me dearly, and don’t want me to feel left out, so they are trying to convince me to buy my own Ipod.
You see, I have an hours commute both ways to and from work. And hour there, and hour back. Two hours worth of driving, and the radio stations are enough to make me want to gouge my eyeballs out on a good day. I am also not sold as of yet on Sirius, though I have friends who love it.
More on that later.
I am on the fence with the whole Ipod thing. But I like to jump around too much in my tastes. What I want to listen to now, may not be what I want to listen to later. And then there is the whole backing up of the music that you bought in that one chance your hard drive on your computer dies. Then were are you? With nothing.
And I bought a smokin’ cd player for the truck last summer. It has a Ipod dock, but….
So you see my dilemma.
What do you think? For those of you who have Ipods, let me know the bennies. For those of you who think that it is a waste of money, chime in and appeal to the cheap bastard that resides in my wallet.
Namaste.

I have had xm radio for the past few years and am considering making the switch to an ipod. The only thing that scares me is that with xm (or sirius) you always have a great variety of music to listen to and are introduced to different stuff frequently. With an ipod i feel like i would limit myself to listening to only music i am familiar with which does not really appeal to me. Time will tell, I just paid for another year of xm so i am stuck with that until it runs out, at which time i will likely buy an ipod.

Nick! Dude! sorry it has taken me so long to get back. The thought of paying a subscription is not where I am at either. Like the idea of the downloading because it is a once and done kind of thing.
Namaste.
