Flying Music -- iTunes PIREP

Bottom line: I now have an entirely new collection of "flying CDs" without
ever leaving my house, and without having to buy 35 (at least!) CDs. Our
plane will be ROCKING on our next flight!

Even better: You can get an iPod, and plug it into the music-in jack on
your panel. Rip all your legal CDs and transfer the stuff you bought from
iTunes Music Store ("ITMS" in the vernacular) and Bob's your uncle. I've
got 2660 songs on this one (and some of those are long classical pieces).
I think that translates into something over 1000 hours of music.

Wow -- that's all on ONE disk?

Or doesn't an iPod use disks?

Ipod has a hard disk in it...

The iPod has a single hard disk. You plug in into your computer and use
iTunes to copy tunes onto it.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried:

First thing under "capacity":

Capacity
- 4GB, 15GB, 20GB or 40GB hard disk drive
- Holds 1,000, 3,700, 5,000 or 10,000 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format
- Stores data via FireWire or USB 2.0 hard drive


That took me all of 10 seconds to research.

Oh, come on. Give him some credit. Surely if he *tried* he could've been
more wrong. After all, at least many digital audio players do use some form
of RAM to store music, even if the iPod doesn't. He could've said something
*really* outlandish like "bar codes" or "punch cards" or something like
that.

the 4Gb model is the new "mini-iPod". It is slightly smaller than the
15/20/40 Gb iPods, comes in different colors, and is the lowest priced
of the models.

And even cheaper, you can get a portable CD player that is MP3
compatible. (some are under $30) One 800mb disk holds a *lot* of
MP3 encoded tracks.

About 200-225 at 128Mbit.

These disks can also be played on most of the new DVD players as well.
