First of all. Fuck ipods. Somehow my motherfucking ipod got disconnected while syncing and would freeze itunes whenever plugged in. I searched the fucking net for an hour before figuring out how the fuck to get the shitty thing into disk mode and after doing that windows won't fucking format the fuck automatically for me, so I'm manually deleting the 9000+ songs I got on the motherfucker because apple doesn't think that people like me who somehow acidently unplug their ipods during syncing is a common enough problem to find a fucking easy fix for it.

Second. This site is still fucking here? I've been sitting forever deleting music off my ipod so i figured i'd come look here. Massiggyman still around too it looks like, didn't him and all the other "cool kids" of anarchistcookbook go start a new one or something?

Third. They have new tests for probation and parole that test alcohol for up to 5 days... yeah, wish someone would have told me that little tid bit before i got called in for my first random in 4 months...

Fourth. Thank you to whoever in my apartment complex has wi-fi, enjoying the free net.

This is going to sound archaic, but I like CDs more than MP3s. CDs are proportionaly chepaer than MP3s and they sound better than compressed audio files. IPODs are rediculously overpriced. You get album cover art with CDs unlike with MP3s and Ipods. Bands can and do autograph CDs and their cover art.

i started a new website if you want to join
Massiggy was banned but he's still lurking
and yes there are much better players than the shitty overpriced and overloved ipod

Well Cd's are good, but really an ipod just so much more fucking convinent. I got 1288 albums on this guy(who may i add is now working and has the original sonic from genisis on it) in an area smaller than my pack of ciggarettes. Granted somewhere between 50 to 200 of those albums aren't full album. Thats still 1000+ cds in my pocket. To tell you the truth I don't own a cd to my name anymore(lent them out and never cared enough to find them again).
Album artwork can be on you're ipod, and i assume on zune too, which you would see more than you're cd's album artwork because you throw the cd case in some pile and put the cd itself in a case with 200 other cds, but an ipod you see the artwork as the song plays.
As for being cheaper. It depends, if you legitimatly buy your music(which i assume few of you do, because you are on this site) it really seems like a chore to upload every single cd onto the computer and transfer to the ipod, but if you download you can save all that time of sorting out every album and burning it and just sync it all at once onto the ipod. Really, the cost of 1000 blank disks would be about the cost of my ipod, plus all the time spent burning those.
Also the mp3 player has the advantage of being easier to replace, scratched cds are a bitch, everyone knows it, but most the time a format will fix a fucked up ipod and you can simple let it resync overnight.

Still i wish I would've got a zune.

Also numerator, thanks for the invite, but I only came to this site for the drugs, I've got probation for 2 more years(1 down already) I'm on house arrest for drinking on probation, and I plan on just staying sober for the rest of my probation, so really no reason for me to be here anyway.

i have an ipod and a samsung mp3 player (one of the first ones that came out) so its old.... but i actually prefer my mp3 player because its so much smaller, i can wear it around my neck, and it has a built in radio, and my ipod is a fucking battery hog

With my slow internet connection, it takes 30 minutes+ to load a single song for an Ipod.

yea hurricane dolly fucked my labtop so all my music was on that computer i now have like 2 cds i listen to gets quite old

Fuck all that shit, I just got an XM reciver. $40 for reciver, i get a shit load of channels. a bunch uncensored. Or i will listen to it on my direct tv. got to love channel 202

i never tried to replace
it's still around
