Mini iPod
Yay! Tivo sent me my iPod today. I’m glad I came into work!
We went to go look at a prospective phone system for work today and barely made it to my 2pm meeting. Fortunately, I did and I received my Tivo etched Mini iPod! I charged it up and synced a bunch of songs to it (about 968).
So far this little thing is pretty dang impressive. I’ve always wanted a mini music player but didn’t want to plunk down $250 for it and not like it 2 days later. Now I’m surfing the web to find OEM and aftermarket gizmos for it. Found several very useful sites and some very silly ones for hacks and gadgets.
I’m still looking for a something that will play the lyrics when the song is playing, a good FM broadcaster, and a simple GUI interface. Yes, I think iTunes is a little clunky. Sorry, Apple. I just need something that I can easily move songs in without the Stores and cutesy other distractions. BTW, the iTunes installer failed on my laptop. I had to end task it. But the software actually worked.
