I know I've already raved a little bit about how much I missed until I finally broke down and bought an iPod. But I never really remarked on why I find it to be that great of a gadget. For me, it's all the free stuff.
Yeah, sure . . . I could spend all my hard-earned dollars buying music. I've found all kinds of albums on there that I either used to have on cassette ( I never splurged that much on music once CDs came out ) or wanted to get at any given time. Eventually I'll probably buy them either on CD and rip them or straight from the iTunes store.
For now, however, I'm really enjoying all the podcasts in both audio and video format. I never imagined that so much quality stuff could be found. I'd never even downloaded iTunes and installed it. My son did, but he doesn't have an iPod yet. ( Hmmmm . . . maybe Santa will bring him one this year if he's really, really good ) My favorites right now are Good Morning America, WebbAlert, WebNation and a few others that I watch or listen to when, technically speaking, I should be working.
Don't tell my boss. Okay?
I'm sure this new found obsession with the podcasts will fade a little over time and I'll get back to actually getting something done bright and early in the morning. So, as far as I'm concerned, what really makes the iPod so great is the fact that there's so much content out there and how easy it is to manage that content through iTunes. It really makes it much easier than I thought it would be.
