What if a new iPod owner doesn’t have a computer? Would be a great service then.

Then you have a very poor imagination.

Why should only those with a pc be interested in the benefits of a hard drive based music player? You don’t need a pc to like music, and certainly don’t need a pc to want the convenience of having all your music with you when you leave the house.

Let’s see… If I were a doctor/laywer, or some other profession and made over $200,000 a year would I want an iPod. Maybe. Would my time be more valuable than spending time ripping cd’s. YES !!!! Would I use a service that someone identified a need for and had enough initiative to go for it. Probably. It’s really pretty simple. Not stupid, not lazy, just better time management based on their needs.

Many many a good idea and invention over the centuries have been scoffed at, ridiculed and called folly. And when an idea does work, the same people who scoffed without imagination, then want to copy it for themselves.
What one person calls folly, another makes millions with.

“rip off” If you were a millionaire and the price was reasonably would you make the same decision ?

I live in Houston and earn more than I’m probably really worth as the CFO of a petrochemical firm. Last week I purchased three new iPods—one for each of my teenage daughters—and 250 CDs from Amazon.com that the girls had compiled on their Amazon “wish lists.” I had all of the CDs (and the three iPods) delivered directly to the local LoadPod folks. The goodies will be sent to the girls in just a couple of days.

Time is money, folks. I don’t have much of the former, but I’ve got plenty of the latter.

I’m sure all of us at one time or another have paid to have something done more quickly or efficiciently than we could’ve done ourselves and in that regard this service is fine.  I think that there are a lot of people who have had a negative reaction to it based on their feelings about their music collection. Personally ripping their collection offers them another opportunity to visit with old friends some of whom may have originally showed up on vinyl.
I guess to these people it would be akin to shipping off all your family photos to a scrapbooking service. Sure its quick and convenient but you miss out on the experience.
