gadgets

What happens when one gets their first i-pod? Well, first of all, one must immediately spend the $25 gift card one received 6 months ago (thx, Jeff and Amanda!). Then, one tackles their private cd collection. Spending hours in front of the computer ripping all the songs one likes.

Only to discover that the current i-tunes program mysteriously cuts off the last few seconds of the last song on some of the cd's one just ripped. So, then, one must re-rip those songs in another program, in a bigger file. Then must reduce said file to smaller size to make more space on said i-pod. Luckily, this fun process only need be done once...then one can freely spend more gift cards and simply download them to said i-pod. Ah the joys of technology.

P.S. No, that is not our entire cd collection... I'd guess about 1/3 of it. Maybe :)

I love my iPod! I too spent a lot of time putting CDs into my computer and getting everything just right. I haven't listened to a CD in my car in 2 years!

Cute Easter background! I don't even have an ipod yet. Jason wants me to get one but I am afraid because that is what would happen to me.

Sounds tedious but soo worth it. I'm hoping an Ipod will someday find its way into my world.
