If you read my earlier post you know that my exercise habits have increased over the last few weeks. With that my "need" for portable music increased as well. Way back I bought a Diamond Rio 500 and it was good to go. I mean, with 64MB of memory I should be set for a long time! Come to find out, somewhere along the way the Rio 500 stopped working in Windows XP (at least for me). I've been over to Rio world and tried everything they had, I even used the special USB cable that came with the device, but that darn thing still wouldn't show up in XP.
What to do? Obviously iPods are the "in" thing right now. For me, that normally means something I'll shy away from. I don't like to feel I'm following the crowd just for sake of following. I like to do my own thing. I was just about set to buy the Sansa m240 but I realized that it only allows one playlist. With 1GB of memory that's a lot of songs to sort through to find the ones you want. I want to load a bunch of songs and be able to select, based on a playlist, the type of music I'm in the mood for. I don't want to reload a playlist everyday or be stuck with just one. |

| Because of my requirement I ended up following the crowd and picked up the black iPod Nano. The flexibility it brings is unmatched and not to mention the support for Podcasts (new to me). Any number of playlists, play by artist, album, etc, etc.. The sound quality is good and dial is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. My next venture is the world of Podcasting since I now have support for Podcast subscriptions.
If anyone has suggestions on cool iPod tips & tricks or good developer-type Podcasts please share. |
