My iPod thinks it is currently playing the Rain Battle track from the score to The Greatest Game Ever Played. It is, in actuality, playing a track from The Postman. WTF?

Well, now that's over. Let's see what it plays when I select the score for Transformers.

As an early X-mas gift to Mark (and myself) this week, we upgraded our 20 gig 4th gen iPods to new 80 gig iPod Classics. Why? Well, you wouldn't think you'd run out of room with 20 gigs, but Mark was approaching that threshold rapidly, and having to pick and choose what he wanted to add. And I wanted video capabilities, so I can rip some things ( Read more... )

Sooooooo...any of my f-list peeps bought one of the new Classic iPods yet? I hear they're having some freezing issues when people try to update them. I also hear you can no longer use a simple TV out cord to play shows d/led to them on, say, your own TV. That this feature now only works with Apple propietary products and a $50 Apple TV out cord ( Read more... )

My usual way of listening to the 1400 score tracks I currently have on the iPod, is to select whatever score I'm in the mood for and play it on shuffle. I really need to stop being lazy about it and make themed playlists, like "battle music" or "mysterious moments" -- things like that for music to write by. Except I haven't, so often as not I ( Read more... )

The iPod has over 1200 songs to pick from on this particular playlist, yet in the last six songs, four have been from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  Huh.

For those of you who read and love the Outlander books,

How glad am I that I went with the 20G iPod instead of the now defunct mini? iPod replaces the mini with the nano. I know I complained at the time that I saw no reason whatsoever to buy the mini for $50 less than the 20G when the size difference was fractional. I guess iPod was already working on that. Now they have a true "mini" version. ( Read more... )

-- I just ordered Transformers: The Ultimate Guide on amazon for Mark. Because he's such a guy and even at 31 years of age still loves Transformers to the point of owning the series and movie on DVD, the soundtrack to the movie, and several toys from the bygone days of his childhood. He saw the book at borders and wanted to get it then - (for $25 ( Read more... )

Wow, I've spent almost two hours at work and barely noticed, having listened to both Mugglecast and Moore's latest BSG cast. I need more!

Any recs?

Proud new owner of an iPod color 20GB. I must come up with a suitable name for my precious. :)

Once I actually looked at them side-by-side, getting the mini wasn't even an option. The size difference is so minimal as to be ridiculous, and for $45 more, I added 14GB to my music capacity, and got a color screen. I'm going to invest in an iskin ( Read more... )
