Now that I have a super-duper iPod with 7.5 times the memory, I have been burning ALL of my old CD’s onto my computer (and into my iPod). In the past, I\u00a0only downloaded my favorite songs since I didn’t have enough space. Now I’ve burned\u00a0EVERY song on EVERY CD I have and I still have enough space to add videos (my iPod is currently only half full).<\/p>\n
Last night I was at Randy’s place and downloaded even more songs from his CD collection. It amazes me that just a few years ago all I carried around with me was a Sony Discman…which could hold ONE CD (between 10-18 songs). I would often carry additional CD’s with me so I could have some variety during my commute.<\/p>\n
Now with an even smaller device I can carry my entire music collection (thousands and thousands of songs) plus movies.<\/p>\n
I think I’m easily amazed. What I would love to be able to do, though, is go back in time to the 1980’s when Sony Walkman’s (for tapes)\u00a0were growing in popularity\u00a0and show a person then (who I’m sure would be wearing short shorts with white piping along the edges and white socks pulled up to his knees…and sporting the most fabulous feathered hair, of course) what his portable music options would be just over two decades later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
