I've had my iPod for 5 months and it's officially official, 20 Gigs is more space than I can ever fill up. I have around 100 albums on there, or 1246 songs, or 3.5 days of music... and I've only used up 4.74 Gigs. I'm only at 25% capacity! And I wouldn't even be there if I didn't have a number of illegitimate albums ripped from friends' CDs.
Had I paid the full $250 price tag, I'd feel pretty stupid right about now; all that empty space just sitting there laughing at me. But since I didn't (thank you Tivo!), I'm very happy with it. Lately I've been listening to a random shuffle of all 1246 songs, which leads to some unique sets... No Doubt, Linkin Park, Aimee Mann, Metallica, Belle & Sebastian. I'm so confused, should I be happy or angry?
I got the ipod shuffle, because I wanted something small to workout with. So far its one gig has been more than enough for me. Part of that is because the dumb ass batteries on the thing can't go for more than about an hour without conking out. So if I want more songs I can just put them on when I'm recharging it. But partly because if I just put songs I want to hear and not whole albums (a good idea with shuffle play I think) then a gig is more than enough.
Can any shuffle owners out there give me a logical reason why the headphone cord is longer than I am tall? It's ridiculous, and it always gets in the way when I work out.
