iPod and iTrip

I’m so excited with my new toys :) (: I have long been planning to buy my 20GB iPod but it just didn’t happen until last Wedensday. It is one fine piece of music player in fact it is the best in the market. Nothing beats it to-date. The other reason why I was so happy was also because it was my first ever buy in the mac line of things. I do have a lot of respect for anything Apple. Apples are luscious — remember Eve! Yes they are expensive, there are fewer software available. Their products are aesthetically superior, software are robust, design and product architecture is top of the range. My next major computer buy probably will be a mac. Bit fed up and tired of Windows constant catching up on security patches, even Longhorne doesn’t do it for me!

To make my music more mobile and handy I even bought the the FM transmitter iTrip. I am listening to my collection of Acker Bilk as I write this entry through my iTrip FM transmitted to my Radio. Wow! This is something. Imagine walking into rooms when you get home and the house gets synchronised with the music of your choice, mood, genre, artist, rating of songs or last 50 songs played! Possibilities, endless!

Taking the thought further I do not have to carry a box full of CD’s to play in the car. All you need is your iPod and iTrip. The 20GB iPod can store 5,000 songs, I don’t see myself driving a car that long surely!

And while I am on a roll I might as well tell you about the best music player — again its Apple’s iTunes. Its packed with features over your conventional players in the market today. It lets you create your own smart playlists where you can choose lets say songs that have a certain rating between certain dates, and from 3 or 4 of your preferred singers. You can add to this rule and make it as complex as you like it to be. You can totally customise your playlist with almost all features a song contains (like artist, genre, album, etcetera) and create conditions to match date, time, liking, length etc in a month many other features. If you are not convinced go over and read why iTunes is the best Digital jukebox.

Use your iPod as a HardDrive, Why burn CD’s DVD’s when you have your iPod handy? You can browse through the structure of the iPod and store files of your choice in separate folders and tranfer them elsewhere at your convenience. Isn’t that handy?

  • I gotta have one. This sounds lucious!!!

  • Why would one ever need that much room? If I was going to get a hard drive mp3 player, I’d get an iPod mini. But as it is, I don’t need anywhere near a gigabyte of space. A 256 MP3 player is fine. And while you’re discussing hard drive mp3 players, apple’s may be good, yes, but you can get others with the same space and capabilities for cheaper. Still, no one needs that much space (unless you’re listening to thousands of really high quality mp3s). I only have a couple hundred songs, and they’re all around 128 kbps. So 256 MB is fine. Why sepnd several hundred dollars on an iPod when you could spend under $100 on a 256 MB MP3 player?

  • That’s because I can use the remaining part of the disk as a portable HDD to swap files. iPOd has far superior sound output that any in the market to-date. I have had a few of these players over the last 4 years but none come even close to an iPod. Have a read on the iTunes site in Apple and download the player on your machine you will know the difference. You get what you pay for!

  • Hey, it looks like iPod is coming out with a more advanced car system that has to be professionally installed- you dock your iPod like with the BOSE sound dock. Looks pretty cool, check it out.

  • hey!I just want to know how to put all the sataions of my itrip in my ipod but without getting them to play when I am shufflig my songs. I would like to know the steps to follow to avoid that please.

  • Do you work for Apple?

  • Hey, I bought an itrip autopilot one year ago and I was very excited. Now I want to buy the the roadtrip and an adapter to boost the transmitter range. What may I say :D I’m in love…
