In the Spirit of Ipod One....

[jterrell]

throw down a playlist or two for us.
make yourself the target of wisecrax and chicanery but also give us insight iinto what ails you. lol

I am buying an Ipod Shuffle if I ever get a day off. I need something portable for when I am whacking keys at work. Anyone with experience taking their mp3 collection and getting it set up in itunes is also quite appreciated.

I don't know much about Ipod...A couple years back I got a cd/mp3 player.

I just burned MP3's to a CD and played them on it.

I could put a HUGE amount of songs on one CD that way (in mp3 format instead of the wav format for normal cds).

Plus the thing plays regular CDs.

To be honest, unless you plan on jogging or something where you are moving a great deal, I would rather go with the mp3/cd player.

If you have a cd burner in your computer you just get all of your songs you want, open up the burning software, choose data cd option and then burn all of your songs to a cd.

Using iTunes is very easy. Even I can do it. I got a shuffle a month ago. It is great.

Currently, I have some Usher, Ludacris, Trick Daddy, Dido, Kelly Clarkson, Sarah MacLachlan, FouFou, The Shins, The Killers, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Annie Lennox, Lenny Kravitz, Thelonious Monk, Amber, The Beatles, Elvis and a couple of other things playing. Just a wide mix, I know. I haven't broken things down into any sub-sets, yet.

Trick Daddy

Oh... you don't have to call me daddy...

Yea I like the protability so I can use it at work where I switch between various servers as well as a desktop, and to workout at the gym.

I have burned like 90 songs onto CD at a very high quality and that is a great option for the car. Getting head decks with mp3 is essential, IMHO.

You are almost as eclectic and wide ranging as me, lol.
I tend toward a little hardcore but just as varied.

I was figuring on 5 playlists of 50 songs. Maybe 1 list of 90 or so lesser quality ones for if traveling. I am getting just the cheap 512mb version cause I had a 128 mb mp3 player that actually worked fine 90% of the time. Its software sucked bad tho.

I have the 512mb and that is plenty for me. I also got a FM transmitter for the car. Obviously, the quality isn't quite as good as plugging in a CD. I just like having access to a large playlist.

 

[jterrell]

My playlists will assuredly feature:
Jay Z, Kid Rock, White Stripes, Green Day, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy, Scarface(Geto Boys), Janis Joplin, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Robert Johnson w/ Eric Clapton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt, Ice Cube, Eminem, 50 cent, The Roots, M.O.B., Dave Matthews, Black Sabbath, Nas, Paul Wall/Swisha House, Toby Keith, Pantera, P.O.D., Linkin Park, Rick James/Teena Marie, Lenny Kravitz, The Eagles, Avril Lavinge, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Lynyrd Skynard, Biggie, Prince, Pac, ACDC, Jimmy Buffet and many more.

I have noticed the more I vary my music the more I enjoy the subtleties of each genre.

 

[trickblue]

Mine would look something like:

Scorpions, Eric Johnson, George Strait, Boston, Alan Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Dire Straits, Merle Haggard, Robert Johnson, Keb Mo, Nat King Cole, The Cars, Bob Marley, The Police, .38 Special, EW&F, Blue Cheer, ELO, George Jones, Bach, Steppinwolf, Sara Brightman, Chris Ledoux, Ted Nugent...

I know... I'm all over the place...

i generally roll with:

van morrison - "moondance"
rolling stones - "let it bleed"
satriani - "surfing..."
soundgarden - superunknown"
warren zevon - "the best of"
steve earle - "transcendental blues"
judybats - "pain makes you beautiful"
mad season - "above"
pixies - "doolittle"
screamin' cheetah wheelies - debut AND "magnolia" (have i mentioned i like them?)
the replacements - "tim"
spin doctors - "you've got to believe..."
stevie ray vaughn - "texas flood"
filter - "title of record"
harvey danger - "where have all the merrymakers...?"
green day - "dookie"
hoodoo gurus - "magnum cum louder"
jane's addiction - "nothing's shocking"
violent femmes - "viva wisconsin"
punk-o-rama #7
john lee hooker - "high profile"
the clash - "essential"
jet - "get born"
bb king - "why i sing the blues"
a perfect circle - "thirteenth step"
the connells - "ring"
sex pistols - "nevermind the bollocks"
blues traveller - "four"
bodeans - "joe dirt car"
L7 - "the beauty process: triple platinum"
lotion - "full isaac"
the bottle rockets - "the brooklyn side"
(and last but not least, one of my personal fave obscurities and a true 33-minute miracle of music...)
deadeye dick - "a different story"

mp3 players? where's the fun in THAT? i'm kinda sorry they don't make a good car-vinyl-LP-turntable. with a pocket for the "discwasher".

(and the list is about as alphabetized as the discs are arranged in my vehicle.)

 

[adbutcher]

If I were you, instead of getting an IPod, I would get a portable media player instead. That way you can enjoy both you movies and music were ever you go.

Behold

Groundation (My new favorite Reggae Band) undivided, groundation chat, and dub

al green/tendy pendgrass, luther when fat, barry white for night time recreational music for sure. but they suck for doing squats, lol.

al green is my fave raw singer of all time.

But i am cheap and cant watch the movies anyways. The mp3s are good for when I am coding something or doing system administration or playing WoW/EQ2 online. lol.
