How Many Tracks are on Your iPod?
I can squeeze 10,000 onto my iPhone (I've been using that more than my iPod lately), but I tend to narrow down my song selections to a few playlists, so perhaps 1000 songs or so.
None, but my "Hair of the Dog" 8-track has 10.

If your current one contains anything by Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, or Neutral Milk Hotel, then you really are better off with a new one.

Zero. I have an mp3 player that I've never used.
Oh, ho-hum, Clark hates my iPod as well.
clark - very nice nazareth referencei have about 5400 songs on mine but listen to about 33 on a reg basis. only about 20 songs on my iphone as i use pandora more on it
Quality not quantity. The person who dies with the most shitty, overcompressed songs on their iPod doesn't win.
16,000+ tracks leaves a lot of room for a lot of music that falls just THIS side of memorable. I should know. I bought this piece of crap. With my own money.

If I didn't, you'd have reason to worry. It's mine and your parents' generation's duty to flail around in a futile attempt to convince you that our youth was better than yours.
Chart your own path. I'll shut up eventually.

my mp3 has 2168 songs on it, and some of those are by radiohead and deathcab for cutie.
i agree somewhat with clark because i have lots of crap on my ipod BUT i have access to lots of good stuff too whenever i want. if i am in the mood for some la fortuna when i am walking the dog in the woods i just click and there it is. might go from that to thunderkiss65 and then to texas flood. as for overcompression, i am not an audiophile at at (i feel dirty just saying that for some reason). i barely can tell the diff between any of the formats. prob comes from listening to the KISS alive album through a vox guitar amp turned up to 11 when i was in high school
I'm still trying to forget the bitter taste in my mouth after listening to Endless Wire, Clark.
I can't be bothered with filling up my iPhone with tons of MP3s. I tend to have a core list of songs I want to have around all the time, plus some playlists I cook up on a whim; those playlists, by the way, tend to make up the basis of my mix CDs which many of you have heard.
And, yes, while my iPhone does contain many a track from Radiohead and the Arcade Fire, there are also tracks from the Dictators, Suicide, the Soft Boys, the Minutemen, Eric B and Rakim, just to mention a few, along with a healthy dose of the Stones and the Who.
Now if only Apple would allow FLAC formatting, rather than MP3. Trust me, if you've heard music via FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), you'd swear it wasn't digital.

I don't have an Ipod or MP3 or cell phone. If I need portable music, I still have a few cassettes and my Walkman. frugal: don't spend money when you do not have to. Although I am reconsidering a cell phone. Did you see the segment on Katie Couric's news about "mindful walking": lots of pedestrian accidents because we are not paying attention to traffic around us.

Really? I love listening to my iPhone while I'm on my commute, walking from the train station to my office, and vice versa, and I'm always mindful of traffic. If you can't listen to music AND pay attention to traffic or other obstacles in your way while being a pedestrian, then that's some serious lack of attention you've got there.

1410 songs so far. Some of them duplicates, darn it. I need to clear those out.
I have a Zune. Apple is the devil.3985 songs.

The guy at the Apple store gave me free earbuds.
I'm wondering how you tell when it moves from one track to another on your Zune, RA. All that amorphous atonal music without a beat. You could just have the same song in there 3,000 times and not know it. ;)

Somewhere around 700 songs and three audio books currently.I think Clark would set my iPod on fire, piss on it to put it out and run it over for good measure. Not only do I have the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s covering the Ramones (I have the Ramones too) I also have several selections of both Radiohead and Arcade Fire. Sheesh.
Wow, and here I was all prepared to defend my love of Steely Dan again, too! :)
a zune? a zune? did that come in a white label box with MP3 in black letters on it? zune?

yeah, i think a small mom & pop outfit like microsoft is prob the lesser of the two evils

Depending on the amount of alcohol or caffeine in my system, I frequently suffer from the notion that I have wise things to say. Feel free to call me on it. I can take the heat.
Does listening to Black Sabbath qualify me for hipster status?

Are you wearing a Pabst Blue Ribbon truckers hat while you're listening? Do you have a goatee?I would like to go on record so I am pro-Clark in every way, shape, and form, and he probably hates that, but I want to hug him and get him drunk.

Thanks, RA! Why would I hate that?
No trucker hat and no goatee (it comes in all grey).

I'm half Italian. We hug, drunk or sober.
That first review nailed it. They really WILL play anywhere at any time. Still think Robin Zander is one of the greatest front men EVER.

Clark is the last person I would describe as a "hipster." He'd be the type to grab a hipster by their bought-at-eBay-for-$85 Motley Crue t-shirt and say, "listen, ass..."

Hmmmm... Let me think about that one a bit. I'm not sure whether to be insulted or flattered.
But I know you're a bloody train wreck, Kevin.

Then Kevin is half way to being Lady Gaga's perfume.
That may be a flip of the coin thing to see which is better Kev :-)

6175I usually just set it to shuffle and often encounter songs I've actually never heard before--or heard once 15 years ago and don't remember.
My iPod is one of the greatest cultural achievements in the history of mankind.
And if I smelled like teen spirit at my age I would end up on some kind of sex offender watch list.

Sez you. I'm not old. And I will build shrines in honor of the first 4 Black Sabbath albums, which will always remain important works in my personal library.
