iPod, you are my friend
I just got my new 30gb iPhoto iPod...and we loves it!!
I was always hesitant to pick one up as I didn't think I would use it much. I had a CD player in my car that played MP3 cds and I was on my computer when I was home a lot and had a ton of MP3s burned there so I didn't think spending the money on the iPod would be such a great investment.
I was wrong.
I use it all the time now and, since I am a total dinosaur and still have a *gasp* tape player in my car (it's right next to the Betamax and 8 tracks...if I could just hook up the turntable so I could play my 78s) I just plug the iPod into the adapter and I have my entire music collection at my fingertips for the hellish LA commutes.
The most amusing thing about the whole iPod phenomenon is the size of the hard drives. I purchased the 30 gig one thinking it might be a touch small for the amount of music I have but that it would certainly be enough for some storage. Apparently, I'm not quite the music aficionado I believe myself to be as I have over half my CDs stored and I've only filled a third of hard drive. And already, that is probably WAY more music than I will ever listen to (I believe it amounts to close to a week of music nonstop). But I keep adding albums and songs and MP3s in like some obsessive completist who, even though I know I'll probably never listen to that Breeders CD much, (and have only listened to it a few times since purchase) MUST have it on my iPod.
You never know when you'll get a craving to hear "Cannonball" while you're bumper to bumper on the 405.
