Sheesh do I not deserve a reply?

no ?...srsly . why not generate a random playlist via some software...there are enough "list your songs-threads" out there so you can use them as well...

You're fortunate to have that 1 and a half gigs left. I filled up my 80 gig about a year ago. Now I constantly have to delete albums to put new one's on and the 80 gigs of music that is on there becomes my "playlist".

Wouldn't it be more valuable to discover music that you truly like rather than just getting random songs. Even better, why don't you take your player off of shuffle and listen to some full albums for once?

Argh, there's so much fucking wrong with the way this generation (my generation, I'm sad to admit) listens to music...

So true. On a first playing I always listen to an album as a whole, even if it's only one or two songs I bought it for. I find I appreciate the music more that way. Does get expensive though cos I can never just buy a song

Heh, you'd hate me. My MP3 has been on shuffle for the last 3 years.

In my defence, I grew up in the era where you had no real choice but to listen to albums "properly", on scratchy vinyl or hissy tapes played on hi-fis contained in fridge sized wooden cabinets..Been there, done that.

This new fangled "carry 1000 songs you like on something smaller than your cigarette lighter" thing is a shiny novelty to me. Makes me feel like I'm in the future, alas no jetpacks yet..

Random play didn't really work on C60 tapes..

And here I am buying "shitty old" turntables and records... Gee, I must be a moron...

[Flake]

Nah, but I grew up with portable audio being utterly useless*, you grew up in a generation of annoying little trendwhores listening to the currently hip thang on their Ipod..

I think it's a "grass is always greener" thing..

*Seriously, it was hopeless. 60 minutes of fuzzy tape or the new fangled "Discman" that was the size of a housebrick , played one CD and would jump if someone farted in the next town.

Then "Minidiscs"..I saw one once. Apparently there were at least 3 albums released for it, it cost less than a sports car.
Then they invented the mp3 player, albeit before anyone actually used mp3 as a file format. Cost more than a widescreen tv, held at least 30 seconds of rubbish quality music....

I had completely abandoned all hope of portable music ever being any use for maybe 10 years until one day MrsFlake bought a teeny flashdrive MP3.
I bought one the next week... \0/


By way of example, assuming a 4mb mp3 file for a 4 minute track, when I was your age I'd need not only a crap walkman and spare batteries but also a rucksack with somewhere in the region of 80-90 C60 tapes in it, just to match the amount of music you have stored in something the size of a mobile phone.
And mine didn't play movies etc.

While I'm normally a grumpy old fart who thinks everything was better back in the day "Eeee, this were all fields...", this is one area of tech that has improved beyond all recognition, and I'm taking full advantage. :D


Sorry, went off on one one a bit..

I simply prefer quality over convenience. Perhaps you have settled for some compromise as, despite their low quality, even MP3s are better quality than 8-track tapes. I've spent a lot of money to insure high audio quality.
