The Todd Pod

I gave in this weekend. I don't really know what came over me, but I had an almost uncontrollable urge (probably brought about by last week's news stories about iPod One) to buy an iPod, so I threw caution to the wind and did just that.

I've been using a crappy little 125MB player for awhile, and while I thought that was pretty cool, I really didn't see what the big deal was about MP3 players in general and especially about iPods. I mean, that old MP3 player held only about 30 songs, and I very quickly tired of hearing the same songs over and over again. With that limitation, I guess my enthusiasm for the technology in general was pretty tempered.

But, oh my gosh. What a difference 30GB makes!

We spent most of the weekend trying feverishly to feed that little white monster with enough music to satisfy its voracious appetite. A few weeks ago, I posted that I had <100MB of music files on my computer. As of last night, after the mad rush to feed the damn thing, I had 523 songs (1.4 days / 2GB) of music files on the computer and iPod. We were digging out old CD's we hadn't seen or heard or even thought of for years to load up.

The scary thing is, I still have 28GB to go. We still have lots of CD's to load, and I've bought a few songs on iTunes, but it's almost impossible to imagine I'll ever be able to fill it up.

The really cool thing now, though, is I can take advantage of Todd's Podcast reviews and Scott's Boogie Boogie Song of the Week!
