From Dominic Mohan's shameless iPod plug in today's Sun... Is that the most ball-achingly predictable, whitest record collection you ever heard??
I've not got an iPod, and i don't think i'm gonna get one, though the fact my hardy CD Walkman gets very choosy about what it likes to play, and skips like a mofo when the spirit takes it, is very frustrating. The idea of uploading all the tracks i want in that sucker gives me the shivers in a second.

i mean, it can't be much of a relationship, can it?

"their eyes met across a crowded tube carriage and he just couldn't take his eyes off her gleaming white earbuds. They exchanged a shy smile and both disembarked at Cockfosters for a spot of how's-yer-father."
i mean it must have happened to someone and theres' much more potential for naked ladies and all-round titillation in those stories - where's the fun in ruined relationships? editor got it so wrong on that call...

I mean, what would you think if he hadn't mentioned any of his actual list and had instead written "Fennesz, Momus, !!!, Orange Juice, Cex, Plush, Captain Beefheart, World of Twist and, ahem, TaTu"?

Ha, but Ned, the new iPod works on either Mac or Windows right out of the box! So you could both be staring longingly into each other's lucite-covered LCD screens, pass the taste check and yet still arrive home to an idealogical disaster!

they absolutely suck. not worth the plastic they are made with. the transmition power is ridiculously low. forget using them in a city. the best reception i have had with the thing is on an open highway in the backwoods of Virginia.
The Ipod has hurt my relationship with music. i'm going back to tapes thank you.

Ah, suck. A friend of mine is getting me one for my birthday -- at least I won't be out $40...

Has the iPod ruined my relationship? My relationship with what? My discman does seem a little peevish and gaunt, now that you mention it. Is that what you meant?

Although the white headphones are pretty lousy. It's crazy, to me, the number of people who I see walking around with them- I used mine once, confirmed they weren't so good, and went back to my sony earbuds. My boy is getting an ipod soon, but he's a few thousand miles way, so ipod obsessions are probably the least likely thing to do us in.

i enjoy the ipod but one thing i'd like to straighten out is the volume levels between songs. hopefully when itunes gets on windows (or i get on mac)

The mesmerizing Audi-Oh is the very first vibrator that vibrates to the throbbing beat of music, sexy talk, or any external sounds. It's a pearl-shaped clitoral vibrator with a soft silicone butterfly and has a thin elastic harness that allows you to strap it in place. The Audi-Oh will then vibrate to music coming from your stereo or directly from your iPod, other MP3 player or portable music device while you listen through your headphones. You can even wear the Audi-Oh discreetly under your clothes while you "dance with yourself" at your favorite dance music club. It will even pulsate to the sounds of your partner talking dirty to you. The Audi-Oh can also be used as a variable-speed vibrator without any music input.

The kind that plugs into the cigarette lighter is pretty good. The wireless type are worthless, hard to use, and screw up your library to boot.
