I used to be the coolest kid in school… all the so-called “cool kids” thought they were it with their mini-disc players, and there was me with one of the first MP3 players. It was called the Samsung Yepp and had a huge 64mb of memory, which equates to around 20 songs – but I was cool because it played MP3s. Later I upgraded to the Sony HD1 player, with 20gb – I don’t know how many songs that is, but it was more than my music collection at the time. I remember boasting about how good it was, and how much better than the stupid Ipods it was.And now… I’m eating my words, I’m conforming to the pattern of this world, I bought an Ipod. I still maintain that the Sony players are as good as the Ipods, but the software is rubbish. When I got my Sony it took me several days to convert all the MP3s into Atrac files and then upload them – the Sonicstage software it used was pants. Yesterday it took me 15 minutes to upload 8gb of songs from Itunes (which is sooo much better) to the Ipod.This was quite impressive, but even more than that, it let me upload photos and movies. 30gb of songs, sermons, youtube and my photos – all for just £145! Ebuyer is also wonderful….
I gave in
