I get the feeling alot of the Anti-iPod respondents here are under the
impression its
sole purpose is a portable listening device. Not for me.
I use it primarily as I would a mix tape. Downloading songs I like and
creating a long, streaming
set of continuous music. I agree the earphones are an annoyance (and
undoubtedly bad
for your ears). I just plug mine into a dektop speaker or the Aux input in
the car stereo and go.
It's also great for parties where you can mix and match your own musical
sets for hours of uninterrupted play.
While I lament the death of the "album" due to the surge of digital
downloading, as a consumer (and artist) I'd rather spend $1 on one good song
than $15 on a whole CD that has maybe one or two good songs.
