It’s not even a big deal to disagree on a topic like this either. I mean man, there is a lot people getting Ipods these days. I’m even thinking about getting one. It sounds like it would be pretty handy especially with how much Bluegrass music I listen to.

iPods rock. I love mine, wouldn’t go on a trip without it. I not only have all my music on there to listen to, but I’ve also become addicted to podcasts. There are so many, and very nichey ones at that. I have podcasts on my iPod about bluegrass, video editing, marketing, and sermons. It’s a great way to educate yourself when you have the time to listen to something. I learn a LOT from podcasts, and being able to download and then listen at my convenience is the best way to listen to “broadcasting” in my opinion.

I’m a big iPod/iTunes fan as well.

I don’t follow as many podcasts as Brance, but love the ease and convenience of buying new music online.

For example, as I was writing a post yesterday about Crooked Still, I realized that I had only heard samples from their new CD, and some live tracks, but never the full recording.

In about 15 minutes time, I had purchased it from iTunes, downloaded it to my iPod, and was listening to the music via headphones while my lovely and most charming Kim was having a nap.

When she woke, we went for a drive to see the last remnants of fall color here in the Blue Ridge, and listened again to their Shaken By A Low Sound CD in the car.

Yes indeed… iPods rock!
