I'm pretty sure you can. My husband got his iPod from work. His company makes the touchpad for the iPods. He doesn't use iTunes. He uses whatever he used with his old Creation Jukebox.

If you really want to know, I can ping him. He's a freeper also.

Well, you know how these things go, I'm sure - your actual likelihood of getting burned on this sort of copyright violation is probably pretty low. Essentially, it's a matter of whether your conscience bothers you about things like that - opinions will tend to vary, no doubt ;)

You just described my husband, except he doesn't wear a Poncho. However, he is also a conservative.

You have found your pied piper and he plays though an ipod. You all are just programming yourselves. Like Pavlov's dogs. Stimulus and response

He (the Pied Piper) also plays through radio, television, news paper, movies, books, magazines, and even Internet sites wherein someone posts an article and others (myself included) are compelled to reply. Interesting how that works.

Even President Bush uses an iPod.

Finally, a clue to the reason for his gargantuan spending sprees, the "free" pills for geezers vote-buying scam and attacks on the First Amendment!

Something's screwing him up into a liberal. Now we know.

Choose your illusion. Choose your poison. Choose your programming. No major argument with you. You get my angle on this

I don't work for SamAdams or Apple, but I sure agree with him. I love my iPod.

I get your angle. I don't mean anything derogatory in my comments. I wonder though, do you get it? That is, when you state "You all are just programming yourselves. Like Pavlov's dogs. Stimulus and response", do you understand that you too are a cog in the same machine? The difference being that your illusion, or poison, or programming, or what-have-you would seem to exclude the purchase of iPods.

I have no use for an I-Pod , since I am talk show junkie, and refuse to purchase "insider" subscriptions from various talk show hosts, I record off the air. I use mini disc technology since once a recording is made I can go back and edit the disc, and remove all the commercials, something you cannot do with I-Pods. I own about a hundred mini discs each of which can hold apx 320 minutes, so all I have to do is choose the music from my hard drive and download it to a MD. A pack of 6 MD is about 500 songs, and who needs to carry that many songs anyway, I mean really?, how many hours does the adv I-Pod user listen to music?

Ipods are 100% self programing. 100% self hypnosis. The other ways are far from this 100%

I love my iPod and love browsing through iTunes. However, nothing beats playing your own instrument *plucks lute* :)

I still love my CD collection, and have no intention of getting rid of it. I view it like other people view their baseball cards. My tastes are all over the map and a lot of them are from small companies all over the world.

I love mine as well and though I have an IPod Mini I have never purchased a thing through ITunes. The whole concept is somehow distasteful to me...it eliminates the fun of collecting, of talking to the owners of the local music stores and in general the discovery of new music by less well known artists. And I can't imagine that the people who love to come over and sort through and play music during the course of an evening would be half as entertained or entertaining by working the IPod menu.

How much less could you care? A little bit less; a lot less...?

will the music download sites let you download those songs again if you tell them about the break in?

I've downloaded music from Napster and Sony Connect (I have a Sony mp3 player). I recently had a hard drive crash, and lost several songs I had downloaded from these services. Sony is a drag in a lot of ways but they allow you to easily download already purchased tracks to a computer or device that you have registered with them, all you have to do is log in. Napster requires that Windows Media Player (and I think it has to be WMP 10) somehow verifies that you own the license, I never figured out how that worked, particularly since WMP was lost like everything else. In any case you'd be wise to back up all your music to CD/DVD (in compressed form like mp3 or wma) or an extra hard drive or both.

can shop, exercise, do yard work, and, yes (gasp!) even drive without ever listening to music. Life is just fine without a soundtrack distracting you from the experience.

I agree with you. I especially agree with your line about the experience.

That's not good enough.

I won an iPod (IPoD? ipoD? whatever) in a drawing, but I'm not using it until I can get load it with Linux. Anything I wear around my neck, I'm not contaminating with AIDS-infested crudware from fruitcakes at Apple OR Microsoft.

Harrumph... Until then, I'll just get my Hank Williams III off the bootleg CD they sold me at a show.
