Product Placment
Ok amongst other things my Sansa Mp3 player his circling the drain. Of course it'd be RIGHT after i let the 2 year warranty expire. I've really enjoyed this music player for the last 4 years (i renewed it before the last warranty expired)but i let it slip by and now im thinking its time to make the jump to a totally different kinda MP3 player.

At first i avoided iPods cos i was already using small time mp3 players before they became the thing to have. Then i avoided em cos they were trendy and in-your-face, and i was fine with what i had. All my mp3 players have been EXACTLY what i want out of a music maker. Simple interface, user friendly, plug and go. Hell ill even admit im a bit of a luddite. But more than one person offered me free ipods just so i could see what the big deal was.

If Invasion of the Body Snatchers has taught me anything, never accept free pods from people. It ALWAYS leads to mind control and lots of unnecessary running.

Anyway one of my best buds kitelessd finally pushed one in my hands and said atleast give it a try. So i did, first off i did NOT wanna have to deal with iTunes. I always felt that iTunes was an unnecessary part to the process of putting music on an iPod. And i was right, what a pain in the ass, more so it wanted to force me to use entire folders of pictures to put em on it. Long story short this thing pretty much demands i change my entire organizational system just to make it even halfway useful.

I can now officially say i hate the iPod from experience. I cant believe that fuckin thing is the phenomenon it is.

I've had 5 MP3 players before the iPod mini. And all of em were get up and go! Just plug em in and BAM! Folders go here, music goes there, feel free to add some pics, yer good to go. So after 2 weeks of fooling around with that thing i graciously returned my gift and held on to my Sansa, tho kiteless did give me an 8 gig version of my sansa which does great, but has alot of bugs in it, like it keeps wiping its own memory for no reason X3

SO one day it occured to me....HEY! Sony pretty much INVENTED portable music. Lets we forget the walkman *salutes!* So i hit up BreastBuy this week and nabbed a Sony Walkman Mp3 player on a whim. and HOLY FUCK this thing kicks ass! Its even BETTER than a Sansa! Cos now i can actually just put everything in there by FOLDER and it acknowledges everything based on folders if i choose to. I can arrange the folders by all kinds of wacky conditions, and shuffle the music accordingly. I am happily carrying around music and pics once again!

Now i just need to get a fuckin radio for my car again. What a pain in the ass thats been.
