music
Posted by Jason Wu on April 27, 2006
Some people say you can tell a lot about people by whats on their iPod. Sadly I don’t own an iPod and never will until they allow simple drag and drop to load music. I even gave away an iPod that was given to me for free by my company. Beside that fact that I don’t use an iPod, I don’t think what’s currently on my mp3 player will show you much about me. At any given time I’ll have the space filled with all types of weird music. I use my mp3 player as a testing ground for music. I ‘acquire’ songs from new artists or whatever is popular and I listen to them on my portable player. I also transfer them from where I ‘acquire’ them to home/work/ with my mp3 player cause its a simple usb key style with drag and drop capability. You could see my playlist and think we’re in sync musically, but in fact I may hate what’s on my playlist at any given moment. Thinking about this, I made a couple of CDs of my favorite music. I limited myself to two CDs and only one song per artist. It was actually pretty hard to limit myself to only two CDs. I had to drop a few of my favorites.

Drag and drop like a hard drive?

I totally agree with the drag/drop option. I can’t stand how you have to use their program to upload songs. It should just be recognized as a external drive.
Looking at your playlist I can tell that your ASIAN! TAIWANESE AT THAT!

yes, drag and drop like a hard drive, the iPod will show up as an external drive, and you can drag songs over, but you can’t listen to them, you have to use a third party software, the OS is there with a file system already, but i gotta use iTunes grrrrrr
hey, i could have been korean, i almost put the korean version of ‘i believe’ onto this list…

i thought it was that you could tell a lot about a person about what they have on their preset stations in their car…
i dont think you can always say the same thing about an ipod. especially the ones with 20-30gb of music on it. too big. no need to be picky about what you pick.

my ipod mini collects dust. it was a hobby for about 3 months. then it was too much trouble to drag and drop

or maybe you can tell a lot about a person by whether or not they have an ipod. 😀
i was convinced to switch over to iTunes and stopped halfway because it was miserable trying to rename/tag all my files. so now i’m half converted and discouraged and only have access to half of my music. converting takes commitment, man.
my only hesitation about using iTunes was their lack of a progress bar in the compact mode.
