MP3

After resisting the inevitable for years I finally bought an MP3 player...ummed and ahhed about it, wasn't sure why I needed one, but eventually convinced myself that it might be useful to have my entire music collection in the car with me when I'm driving to and from Quelebu - listening to the same half dozen tapes for 20 hours can be mind blowingly dull.

I bought a 4Gb Samsung - same size as an ipod nano but twice the battery life (35 hours), a bigger screen and it doesn't get all scratched up. Worked straight out of the box and wow I'm sold on it all ready. Took an afternoon to load ALL my music and there's still some space. Put it on random play, put some comfy headphones on my head and wow I'm in heaven. I think I'm going to rediscover my music collection all over again.

I know what you mean about the joys of mp3 - for me, when I first got an mp3 player about a year ago after resisting for ages, I felt like I was getting a different experience walking around with my music instead of just enjoying it inside in private. Sometimes the perfect chance combination of, say, the right song, the sunset, and a flock of birds in the sky would just take my breath away.

MP3's are ace Lee. Use them at work all day. Will have to bring my laptop over with all my tunes some time.

Set it on random
