I hate my iPod. OK so I don’t hate it. But I dislike what it has done to my beloved CD/vinyl collection.
While the latest iPod Touch allows me to view awesome album covers at least a little better than previous versions of mp3 playing technology (the Zune does a great job too), it has made selecting music a chore for me (even after opting for an eight gigabyte model over the bigger sizes).
I thought the smaller model would somehow limit the amount of crap that ends up on my iPod (old pop punk I used to listen to in middle school? Sure why not, I got the gigs!), but now I’m in some sort of limbo where I have crap on my iPod, but plenty of good stuff that hasn’t made its way over there.
But the main thing Apple’s invention of the iPod has done is take away my ability to listen to an album in its entirety. Sure I still can listen to a full album, but when I’m crunched for time, I just put that badboy on shuffle. And then I skip a song, and another, and I am never truly satisfied. It’s like channel surfing, except with music.
