I -- pod, you should too

We pod. Yep, Samantha brought home an Apple Ipod on Thursday and we are now officially current with the times. I have not encouraged the purchase of the Ipod because I was of the impression that we would not really use it that much. Thursday night I put the disc in the computer and started to play a little with the new fangled device.



What I found was a little surprising. As of this morning, Sunday, I have 475 songs now on the Ipod as well as a hundred or so pictures. I really do believe we will need to purchase an additional Ipod. Samantha wanted one to take to the gym and now I want to get the accessories so I can play all of the songs in our music library on our home theater sound system and in the car.

As I hit the "shuffle" feature on the pod, I began to realize what a crazy collection of albums and songs I enjoy. I will give a short list of what is currently in rotation on our new Ipod:

• Jimi Hendrix
  
• Dr. Dre
• Poe
  
• Bela Fleck
• The Beatles
  
• Tupac
• Miles Davis
  
• grateful Dead
• 50 Cent
  
• REO Speedwagon
• Outcast
  
• Gretchen Wilson
• Ice Cube
  
• Tom Petty
• James Brown
• Johnny Cash
• Elvis
  
• Snoop Dog
• Merle Haggard
  
• Phish
• Al Green
• Motzart
• Prince
  
• Journey
• Beastie Boys
  
• Toby Keith

We have the 30Gb pod that can hold 7500 songs. I would imagine it wont take tooo long to fill that sucker up with some quality music. I do believe the trouble will be how we create playlists that we both will enjoy!
