My Music




As some of you know I love music. Almost all kinds of music. After teaking to Marty and Mark and seeing how the ipods work I backed off on my idea that I would never have one. One of my negatives was that I could never use earbuds with my hearing aids.


Merlin and Brenda bought us the above CD player while we lived in Calgary. It holds 200 cd's and with our christmas cd's we have around 130 now. It worked OK, but it was very difficult to play a particular song or a particular cd or to know what cd's we had. It sure does make a good place to store them!


But now.... I have transferred all these songs to my new 8G nano. Over 1000 songs and the Nano is only half full. We also got a temendous buy on the ipod player. It also plays radio, XM radio and single cd's, with good sound. So now I am really back in the listening mood since I can find songs by title, artist, genre my rating etc. Fun and very enjoyable.

So you took the leap Dad! Do you have the FM transmitter for you car?
I'm uploading the Ipod about 5-6 times a week--its a lifesaver at work. Enjoy the blog-Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. I struggle to keep up like most seniors. do you guys realize how fast technology is moving? Computer chips make almost any challenge possible.
No FM transmitter yet Marty. Got to slow down on the purchases for awhile. Smile

You do crack us up Grandpa! We tell our friends how amazing you are with technology!! We're impressed. You might even be more tech literate than we are. :-) Maybe you should teach a class for your COGS. :-)

I love it, I am so impressed! It's amazing how small it is and how much it can hold, and how easy it is to use, it's incredible. I am glad you are getting to enjoy music in a new way, I love listening to music and it makes it so handy with the ipod.
