It's no secret that I'm an iPod addict. My trusty iPod is usually no more than 10 feet away from me 24 hours a day - I listen to it in the morning, all day at work, and in the evening, too. (Oh, if only I could listen to it in the car without resorting to FM reception, but that's another story.) I'm a fanatic about syncing it with my iBook so that all my MP3s have correct stats, plus it constantly keeps my listening fresh. It keeps me going through every flight when I travel, and I almost wish I had to ride a train or subway daily just so I could listen to it more!
It all started when that amazing commercial aired, featuring the guy bopping around his apartment listening to Take California by the Propellerheads. First, I loved the song, since I was newly crazy about dance music thanks to DDR. Second, I was already an MP3 fan, and I had already enjoyed using an Rio MP3 player in the past (which could hold about 25 songs and took 20 minutes to transfer over serial!), so I was really excited about a new device that could "do it right". Third, I'm an Apple fan from way back, but I hadn't used a Macintosh at home for a few years, so the time seemed right to jump back in. So, that silly commercial hooked me into buying an iPod, plus an iBook so I could finally realize my dream of ripping my entire CD collection and listening to it on this cool device!Labels: ipod, life
