Crash Into Me

DellPod

So I've been wanting an I-Pod/MP3 player for a while now. I've been researching and looking for deals, and they just haven't dropped enough in price...until I got the bright idea to look on ebay and at pawn shops. I didn't really want an IPod, because I hate Apple/Mac. And I wanted one that could double as an external hard drive. Creative makes them too expensive, but Dell's DJ (digital jukebox) was just about right. I found a 20 Gig one at a pawnshop yesterday for a measley 100 bucks, and of course, snatched it up. Call it an early birthday present (since this is what I wanted, anyway). I absolutely love it. No more CD skipping, dragging around all my CD folders, etc. This thing's amazing. Not even MY musical collection can fill up the space on this thing! Not only that, but it had almost 2,000 songs already loaded! Granted most of it was weird, and/or rap, but there was a lot that I like as well, and even some stuff I had been wanting, but afraid to spend the money on. I'm pumped out of my mind (just ask Lacey). Now begins the long, slow process of trying to get my giant CD library onto the thing. It's slow and painful, but it will be so worth it. I have to rip the music and then synch it using WMP. It's painstaking. Actually, it's not bad, probably about 5 minutes per CD, but when you have a ton, the time adds up. Especially if you work and have a wife:) But we already have a car charger, FM transmitter, headphones, and everything, so what a deal. It's so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. (thanks ferris) There only remains what to call it. It's too much work saying "M-P-3 Player", when "Ipod" just rolls off the tongue. So we've decided to name it our DellPod. Come by and visit.
