iPod Uses
Hi there,
My first post here, so hello to all.
I've been fiddling with my beloved (iPod, not wife), and thought i would share what i do with mine, and see what you do with yours!
1. Walkies - Nothing quite like walking on the beach with Urban Chill in my ears and sand between my toes
2. In-Car - the tape adapter and ipod work wonderfully, 2k+ songs aaaall the way to work. very rarely get repeats!
3. At Home - again the tape adapter connected to my stereo bring the wonders of iPod to myself (and my neibours).
4. On The Web - my iPod also playes music via winamp, which in turn updates the "iPod Recently Played" box on my site (http://www.lemonfridge.com)
5. GTA3 - I just figured out how to get my iPod into games to! i can now drive around in GTA3/VC with a full 2k+ playlist (http://www.lemonfridge.com/playlist.html) on the in-car mp3 station :)
I'm a happy lad indeed. SO, what do you do with yours?

Hello Lemon - I know you from the computerarts forum!
Nice to see you here as well!
I am using mine just for the music - and a copy of MC9.
Getting all my playlists ready from my trip round Asia and Australia!

ok
1. iPod & Winamp: I use XPlay, so all i do, is view the files or playlists i wanna listen to, and then right-click and Play. it runs winamp and plays the sweet sweet sounds.
2. iPod & The Inter-web-net: Using the above method to play music means u can use winamps plug-ins. i download the DoSomething (http://www.oddsock.org/tools/dosomething/) plug-in, and set it to generate a "recently played" box, and also to upload it. (FYI - i then used SSI to load it into my site design)
3. iPod & GTA3: using XPlay again, i went to the Songs menu, selected everything, then hit Copy (waited 5min for it to work), then went to the mp3 folder in GTA3, and hit Paste Sort-cut. again i had to wait for it to create all 2k short-cuts.
once that was done, it all worked. BUT, it takes a few min for the game to start now. if it doesnt start, re-start the game, and then hold the iPod to your ear, if it isnt crackling away like a busy little HDD, the game has crashed. just re-start. it'll work 80% of the time.
have fun.

Chris,
Great site and great playlist.
I use my ipod with MC9. I also have the ex71 sony headphones. Recommend very much. I use the ipod on the way to work (only a short 20 minute walk) and then listen at my desk all day. I support an ERP software system throughout Asia (over 2000 users submitting help calls) so the music helps keep me sane. At home, I have bought the new creative speakers advertised here on this site and the sound is awesome...great bass.
A question? Your playlist has a lot of similarities with mine and therefore am intrigued by one band I have never heard of. Apollo Forty Four. Who are these like and can you give me some album titles?
Cheers,
Paul
