Well done, but does that mean that you dont need our help in the £40 department any more now that you are a seasoned shopper? |
One purchase doesn't make a shopper. Don't worry, I shall be back to ask for more assistance soon. |
Congratulations DG! Even if you only went for the shuffle an iPod is a wondrous thing. And iTunes is indeed a breeze. |
I'd love an iPod-type thingamyjig - except 90\\% of my stuff, and there's a lot of it, is on tape, which presents difficulty in digitising it (how and with what, if you know?). Secondly it's all done in sets and mixes rather than what the record industry would like, i.e. buyable three-minute chunks. Lately I've stopped buying or recording music at all - I seem to have come to that age where everything new all sounds shit. |
Matt, to get your tape onto MP3 all you need is an audio in socket on your PC, a lead from tape deck to said PC and some software to code it to MP3. If you want to break your sets or mixes into separate trax (!) you'll need some crude wave editor. Like the recording software there are loads of free versions around. And it's really great to have all one's old music carriable... I love hearing stuff I've nearly forgotten again. |
I saw that store in Regent Street for the first time Friday week ago. I was on the bus and I nearly fell off my seat. Like en empty store. Wood floorboards. Stairs. Very spacious and cool. Like a studio flat. |
Ah, another victim of the Apple plot to get at least one Apple branded device into every home on the planet. I succumed in a slightly more expensive manner. I bought a laptop. |
Nationwide, eh? That brings me back to my childhood. Nationwide and Findus crispy pancakes. |
Welcome to the Apple world. I am one of those people with seemingly enough time to digitise his entire CD library. Time well spent though. I can now randomly select songs at whim and beam them wirelessly arond the house thanks to a similarly priced Apple Airport. |
I also succumbed to the lure of the Apple iPod this weekend. Finally. From a classy store too (um, Argos, because I have an Argos card and they finally had some in stock). I didn't want to be suckered in by the hype, but I have been - and consequently I've spent the rest of the weekend just casually throwing whole albums (one after the other! Oh! My! God!) onto the iPod, and watching as the storage space barely dips. It's all quite sad really, isn't it? |
I'm not going to succumb any deeper than this though. Honest I'm not. |
There's actually a company that specialise in uploading your Pod for you. You give them a pile of CDs and they guarantee that 24 hours later it will all be on there. Even for a 40 gig model. Having spent two months (!) uploading, this seemed like a good idea. Until I found out that they charge a whopping £1 per CD! |
Prefab Sprout... I love em. You have good taste mate |
I too have just started wih my iPod (received this week). I don't usually droll over branding (the devil's work) but goddamn it is cool. |
Yeah my daughter has one and its is her new best friend. Personally I have one of those little things that fits in your hand and takes MMC cards which at 1GB apiece does me ok. And with a pair of small speakers or hitching it up to the stereo via a FM transmitter thingy I am wired for sound. But yes, I will have to put my old lp's onto the pc when I get time (time??? ha!). |
