>>Meaning that it would take $10,000 to fill any music player up with legally purchased tracks, whether bought online, via CD, on casette tape, on vinyl, or what-have-you.<<
Exactly. “What have you”. And What have I is about 1500 CD’s that I have accumulated over about 10-11 years. It’s not that I went out and spent $10,000 in a week filling my iPod. My CD collection just became too unweildy to get the music I wanted when I wanted it. The iPod has solved that and would actually be perfect except for two things: 1) I would like to see normal “buttons” on this thing. I find it hard to pick up half the time without changing tracks, and 2) With the ICE-Link backordered forever for my car, I’m stuck with lousy quality sound in my car.

the anonymous scribbler has achieved his goal. obviously he has presented his opinion which is then left up to public criticism, but his ultimate goal as which is the goal of all urban artists, is to provoke thought in our consumer based culture. it is something that confronts you whether you like it or not he has provoked an emotion that all of us are willing to then spend time discussing. the “ipod” is just one of millions of products “although a great product” that we are bombarded with by advertisers day in day out that we must have, maybe there are other things we should think about besides the next gadget we should get??

hey another way to use all those gigs LEGALLY without spending $10,000 is to use your ipod for things other then songs. u know u can put text files on it and read them, as well as use it as a way to transfer files. hey…you have all this free hardrive space…why not put it to use.

Way down here in the South island (New Zealand) the record stores all carry such bland mindless pop crapolla that download ellegal songs is the only way to get some of the cool Blues and Country from the land of the Free and home of the iPod.

true say my friend, i have payed for tones of music in my time, but its just too tempting, if not for the net i would never have found these tunes, greatfull i am! i dont think its going to take food of anyones table as long as u keep buying and downloading. Well done to the graff artists for the defacing of the posters, someone had to say it, one year later my battery f****d off and im suposed to pay 60 quid to replace it! the damn MP3 player already cost me 300! besides those ad campaigns are so played! for a company that provides a platfrom for most of the creative industries it should really try something new. overall the iPod is a great peice of technology, secondly asthetically pleasing, not the otherway round.

the iPod is an acronym for Interface Protocol Option Devices. In English that means these are small portable machines which store and play music. That’s it in a nutshell (pun intended).

Unless you ARE Crosby… in which case you still fail.
