Filling up an 80g Ipod sure is tough! Filling up an 80g Ipod sure is tough! Can anyone recommend any great songs to put on there? It can be anything at all as I have quite an eclectic taste and am open to anything. Your suggestions would be appreciated! There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

lol, I'm in the same boat. I've got an 80gb iPod and I've only got 5000 songs on it. Not alot when it says on the box "holds up to 20,000 songs". I'd have more songs if I didn't lose my entire Prince collection. Not alot of his albums are still commercially available and I can't be bothers doing the whole ebay thing. I had his entire released collection but the majority was illegally aquired. But my old PC crashed and I lost it all. Now all I have left it the albums I legally purchased. Which are his three latest works and his classics that can still be found in stores like Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain and Sign 'o' The Times. I also had the entire works of J5/Jacksons/Michael Jackson. But the Motown stuff was downloaded since it can't be found in stores anymore. I lost that when my PC died. So now I just have the CBS/Epic/Sony stuff. [Edited 1/7/08 6:01am] | |

I've filled two 80GB iPods and need to buy another as I have over 500 songs waiting in my iTunes folder. I suppose I should delete some tracks to make space but I find it difficult to decide which songs to remove. | |

[Edited 1/7/08 6:01am] Hmm, Im thinking I might aswell shove all my Prince albums on as opposed to shifting through them individually choosing the tracks I like. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

It depends on the music you like. I have an 80gig Ipod too and the first music i put on there were the studio albums of Funkadelic and Led Zeppelin. Boxed sets are also a good bet too. | |

I have an 80G,,,,,works like a charm  the 1st things I put there were Aretha's "Queen Of Soul" boxet and Billie Holiday's Columbia and Decca's boxets.
Got sick of adding "songs" and put albums instead. I'm working on the "comedy albums" section lately  | |

I'm way past that and have archived onto a 500 GB portable hard drive. So now I move content from here onto the ipod. Takes a bit of planning, but it works out great! test | |

Is the iPod spoiling how we listen to music?
When you get a new album, do you listen to it, give it time to sink in, live with it and let it get under your skin? Or does it just disappear into the mass of tracks on your iPod, only to surface in the form of the odd track plucked out at random every once in a blue moon? Just asking....I don't have an iPod myself, but I have used an mp3 player and there is something strangely unfulfilling about listening to music this way. Anyone else find that? This is not an exit | |

Anyone else find that? well i thought mp3's/ipods were so stupid... at first... and my sister had purchased one.. and it was sitting there for a couple of months unused or touched... and then i decided to just put a few songs on there.. and i thought it was cute and scary that something that tiny could play music... I still enjoy cds... but since i travel back and forth to school its nice to have a ipod instead of carrying like 20 cds around... but when im home i listen to my cds... | |

The Ipod and I Tunes has definetely changed the way I listen to music. I'm not an attentive person at the best of times and I used to buy CDs for a certain mumber of tracks. An expensive habit I'm sure you will agree. With the Ipod I can put anything I want onto a compact little system. It's ingenious particularly when travelling and/or going on holiday.

Ipods require a translation to Apple's AAC format, which is just a proprietary version of MP3. I load a lot of torrents in lossless format (flac, shn, ape et al and they aren't recognized by Itunes operating system. I had to hack it by downloading an alternative rebuild that handles many formats without translation!!
It's called ROCKBOX www.rockbox.org and it doesn't destroy anything on your player. Just gets skips past the APPLE b/s. test | |

It has changed things. I'm not sure if "spoiling" is the exact term I'd use, but I'm a less than conventional Ipod user (see above posts). Let's be aware of the game APPLE is running. An "ipod" is really nothing more that an MP3 player (graned with video. They just seized the more intimate trademark product name, like Coke Kleenex and Xerox. There are other large capacity players with video that work fine, if not better. test | |

I think there are add-ons to Rockbox for stripping off drm info, but I haven't messed with them. If you check their page you'll see a variety of rebuilds for different platforms from different manufacturers; even "out-of date" releases. test | |

They are just ripped stuff from cds that someone gave me in aac format | |

I filled mine in 10 minutes until I got onto the movies...now I'm selective and don't copy EVERYTHING by an artist, instead, making best-of's while listening to an artists complete collection.
What trips people out is when I say "have you seen (insert new movie here)" and then I hook up the 80 gig to their tv and we watch it. The Digital Revolution is more than three words... | |

You're wrong on both counts. Besides AAC, iPods also play MP3, WAV, AIFF, and Apple Lossless files. AAC is the successor to MP3, which is also proprietary BTW, and was actually developed by Dolby. I load a lot of torrents in lossless format (flac, shn, ape et al and they aren't recognized by Itunes operating system. I had to hack it by downloading an alternative rebuild that handles many formats without translation!!
I also have a lot of files in FLAC and SHN (but not Ape, because that's Windows-only crap). Still, I prefer to make an AAC copy for my iPod so I can take better advantage of the device's space. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
