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*

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!)
