Yay! Portable music!

[yellowhorde]

Okay, I know I told myself that any extra money I had left over after paying bills would be spent responsibly... and yet, I bought an iPod shuffle. It's really, really tiny. And it's supposed to hold up to 200+ songs. In other words, way more than I have on my computer right now.

(I lost a great deal of music when my other computer crashed in December 2007. Woe.)

Since it was $45 I didn't break the bank, but now I'm looking at the instructions and I need to download iTunes? Does this mean I can't download music I already have on Windows Media Player? If so, that suck donkey balls.

Seriously.

Oh well, I'll figure it out somehow. And then I'll have portable music. Yay! And I won't have to take CDs to Taco Johns to listen to while I close. I don't trust my fellow employees with them. I accidentally left Dracula: Entre L'Amour et la Mort on Sunday and when I got it back the next day, it was scratched up and many of the songs now skip.

Bastards. Do you know how much that CD cost? It's not like I can just pop down to WalMart and get another one. *GRRR*

I don't think you can put the music on the player via Windows Media Player (I have an ipod, but never tried it XD), but if the files you're wanting to put on the player are in .wma form, you can still put them on the player but you'd have to do it through Itunes. Itunes will convert them into a format compatable with the Ipod.

Ooh, I have one of those! It is diddy and shiny. :D And yes, you do actually need iTunes I'm afraid - if you get it, it'll convert all your music to a format your ipod will play (You'll still have the originals in a format playable in WMP, don't worry! It just means you'll have a folder with copies in.), and all you have to do is drag and drop the songs you want into the ipod thing on the sidebar. It'll be fine! :D

(WORD OF WARNING though - as far as me and my sister can tell, it plays songs in the order you put them on your ipod. I know you listen to lot of operas and/or musicals, so I figured I'd warn you in case you like listening to them the whole way through!)
