Soror Wonderful1908:
I have been a part of the MP3 craze for some time now. Over 3 years ago, I purchased an iRock MP3 player. So small it fit in the palm of my hand. It was one of those first wave of MP3 players. The one I had, the
iRock 530, ran on one AAA battery had a memory of 128MB (with my flash card, I ended up doubling the amount of memory to 256 MB). At one point, I had close to 175 songs on the player. You couldn't tell me nothing!
Late last year, I received an iPod
mini (in pink of course!). So now I am really rocking and rolling. The mini has a 4GB capacity. I currently have 375 songs on my mini, with room to spare. While the advertised song capacity is 1,000, depending on the size of the music files, most people get around 800-900 songs on their iMini. The only problem I have with my iMini is that I am constantly having to recharge it. However, there are some after market products that are available to solve that problem.
I absolutely love my iMini, so much to the point that I have given her a name
, LOL. I still have my iRock and plan to keep it. I can't let it go. Maybe when my mom gets up to date and is tech savvy enough (LOL), I will pass it on to her. Until then, it stays with me.
Soror, if you have not already be sure to visit the various iPod communities on the internet. On Apple's site, you can check their
discussion boards specifically for iShuffle . I also recommend this great site called
iPod Lounge as well. It is all things iPod, including gear for your iShuffle; software for your iPod to make it more fun, useful; reviews; new products; sites of interest; and an
excellent buyer's guide, just in case you ever want to upgrade from the iShuffle.
