Do You Have An IPOD or MP3 Player?

Okay, I have to admit that I do not yet have an IPod or Mp3 player. In fact I don't even know how to use one or the difference between the two. I know that you can download up to 150 songs on at least one of them and play them back to back, but that is the extent of my knowledge.
I have to admit that this boom in technology has become a bit much for me to keep up with. Although I love music, (probably more than the average person) I have refused to move beyond the CD and as far as I am concerned, no one can make me.
Please tell me that I am not becoming an old folgie at 37. I can not keep up, it is too much. Every time I catch up, they come up with something new. I am having a new tech breakdown. Please tell me I am not alone. You don't have an IPod or MP3 player, do you?

Well i do have an ipod and i do understand that you can't keep up with all the technology.There are always new things which we don't understand because when you finally understand there's something new on the market.
You are really not the only one.My mom can't keep up too.She wasn't raised with that much technology.

As of a few hours ago I am a very happy owner of a black 80gb ipod. It's actually an upgrade for me. Before this I had a 30 (or was it 40gb) 3rd generation (or 2nd?) ipod. Admittedly I'm a bit of a technology junky but I do absolutely love my ipod. I use to find it such a pain to be changing cds or mini discs in the train to/from work when your packed in like sardines and can barely breathe let alone move, so it is definetly a lot more convenient for me. As I have a huge collection of music I also find it very handy as it doesn't matter what mood I'm in I'm more than likely going to have the right music for the moment.

*haha* Nah, my mother is definetly not technologically advanced. My mother never even managed to program the video machine. I will undoubtly be doing the updating for her, despite my undoubtly unsuccessful attempts to try and teach her otherwise. She will only ever have to manage to actually use it which she should be able to manage. :D

Oh, see you had to go there with the mother thing. Now even moms is mom advanced than me, okay. Ha,Ha, anyway, I know how you feel about being in a crowd and not being able to change your music. That use to happen to me on the bus when someone was sitting beside me and I would reach into my pocket to take out my walkman to change it, they would react as though I were trying to pick their pocket.
I would smile and try to reassure them with a look that that was the farthest thing from my mind. When they realized what I was really doing, they looked releaved. but it still felt very awkward.

I just love this new techno, in fact internet is one of the greatest inventso f all time, I don´t have an ipod for me is kind of useless since I don´t travel so much, i guess those little radios are for people that are out of their homes for a long time.

I have an iPod. I didn't really care about getting one at first, but I finally broke down and got one cause I figured it would be really convenient for me since I was a music major and had to listen to pieces of music for homework a lot of times. I'm really happy I got it though cause it's so nice to have all my music in a little pocket sized iPod instead of trying to keep track of all the piles of CDs I have at home. I can also put pictures and videos on it and it has lots of extra features, like a stopwatch thing for when I go running with it and games and everything. It's really great to just have all my music with me all the time wherever I am, and also really good for long car rides or plane rides or in a waiting room or something.

I have an apple ipod. Its nothing fancy but I hardly ever use it. My 5 year old daughter seems to use it more than I do. It keeps her occupied while taking long drive, she will also put the ipod on when she has to clean her room. It keeps her motivated and will clean her room in half the time if she has it on.
They're great little gadgets if you walk or run. I like to use mine when I take walks around my neighborhood.

I too like to listen to music when I am cleaning. I like to dance around and act silly. It makes cleaning fun and not so much like work. My office is in my room and so it is like two rooms crammed into one, since I had to get a roommate. And you said your 5 year old is more advanced than me. Well, rub it in. LOL

It took me awhile to figure it out but basically you hook it up to the computer and then routed to a website.You put your CD in the computer and the list of songs is downloaded to the website.You also have to free up space to download the songs.It's not as hard as think.There are some instruction books at Wal-mart or bookstores

I have an ipod nano which i am very pleased with. It has just enough space for me to be able to put all my songs on. (4gb can hold 1000 songs) Even though I have an ipod, I plan on buying the zune which is made by microsoft and in my opinion is much better than the ipod.
