My favorite thing for iPod -
My daughter's best friend bought her a cassette tape attachment that you can plug in an iPod to in the car and play it over the cassette player. It was just $10.00 at WalMart, and between her iPod and mine, we never need to listen to the radio again!
IPOD
My daughter has the 30gig IPOD with video and shes loves it and her brother has a shuffle which he equally enjoys.
She has added all the CDs she used to carry around everywhere with her to the IPOD as well her friends share music with her. Her grandparents aunts and uncles send her Itunes gift cards so that she can purchase videos (0.99 and up) and such and download them as well as whole cds which she can purchase to download for $9.99 and they cost me alot more to actually buy and then she will burn a copy to save in case of loss.
Also the IPOD gives me peace on long trips because each has their own music and I can set the radio anywhere I want.
SUGGESTION If you order your IPOD directly from apple they will engrave for free (whichs helps if it is lost) as well as ship for free and you can also purchase an extended warranty. BTW the new shuffle is extremely affordable at 79.99 if your child is like my son and only has a few CD's but if she is a musci fiend like my daughter you will want to get a larger one. Also you can purchase accessories from ebay and other places for a fraction of normal prices.
HAVE A GREAT XMAS
It's on my iPod, but...
It's mostly a lot of 90s pop and alternative music (Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, etc). I think I also have some Eric Clapton and Elton John on there as well!
iPod
About four years ago I received my first iPod as a birthday gift. I hadn't asked for it and didn't know why my husband thought I'd want one, especially as I had a really nifty portable CD player. I tried to get that iPod to work, but the iPod and my PC just would not play well together. In the heat of techno-stress (the sort of stress that only comes from not being able to get tech things to work properly), I had a bona fide tantrum. I was ready to throw the iPod into the trash. My son, however, after laughing at me for a while, helped me out. I have no idea what happened, but I am now on my second iPod (moved up to a video) and am hoping that hubby gives me an iPod shuffle for my b-day today, because it has no moving parts, and I want to use the shuffle for jostling workouts.
I love my iPod(s) and think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. LOL. I found that my iPod works best with iTunes. If you ask iTunes to open when your iPod is connected, the program and the iPod will greet each other and talk like old friends. Also, check that you don't have any other programs, such as RealPlayer designated as your default audio player on your computer. Sometimes, another audio program will open at the same time as iTunes, and that just confuses the iPod. The iPod will work much better with iTunes, since they are made for each other.
And once you get the iPod working, check out the podcasts at the Music Store on iTunes. Podcasts are fantastic little radio/video programs on just about every subject imaginable.
Good luck with it! Once it's working, you'll love your iPod.

I have an iPod too, and I love it! I have everything on mine from Bach to Metallica and everything in between. If yours plays movies you can use Quicktime to down load movies from DVD to your iPod. Great for long car rides or waiting rooms with the kids.
Anyone have MP3/IPOD stuff?? sm
i'm thinking of getting an MP3 player so when i walk i won't have this bulky CD player in my pocket. i know you download music on it, but can you take one of your own music CDs, put that music on the computer and then download that music off the computer into your MP3? did that make sense? just thought i'd see if anyone here knew how that stuff works. thanks!
I have an IPod Nano.
Yes, you can record songs from your CDs. I also have an adaptor for my car and a home stereo you attach it to so you can play the music out loud. I really do not use anything else for music anymore. I love it!
An IPOD cover. nm

Thanks - mine's not an Ipod though- would (sm)
would your computer not even recognize it as a mass storage device?
Love my Ipod too
Do you have the plug in adaptor so you can play it out loud in the car and the home docking station to play out loud while home? Got to really hate buying entire CDs just for a couple of songs and then the pain of having to skip through all the songs I didn't like. Then started making my own CDs but oh what a pain that was. This is just SO neat. Love it!
I have the iPod video
I have lots of movies on mine!
Help -- I got an IPOD shuffle and
I don't know how to get the music from playlist to my IPod.
Can you help me out? ');>![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif")
IPod envy
It kills me, but I cannot justify spending the $$ on an IPod when my curtains are blowing in the wind through my 30-year-old rattling windows and other miscellaneous home improvements that need to be done. Yup, the CD player is big and awkward and it eats batteries. I am waiting for my son to get whatever new and improved IPod exists and then he can give me his old outdated one!
Glad you like the name!
No problem. Don't get him an IPOD. nm

If he doesn't want an iPod, why are you getting it?
Is it your idea that he'd like one?
A few years ago when iPods had just come out, my husband bought me one for my birthday. I didn't want one, and I he knew nothing about them. It sat in it's box for about a month, and then I finally used it. Well, that was it. I became addicted! I now think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. Heck, as far as I'm concerned, NASA could have saved the trouble of going to the moon, because the iPod is better. LOL!
I'm just joking, but I really love my iPod. I eventually got a video iPod and I also have a shuffle. I like them both. I really enjoy podcasts, which are like radio shows produced on just about every subject you can imagine. I have enjoyed learning about new things and even taking Italian lessons on my iPod. I also download audio books along with music and travel videos.
I like my shuffle because it has no moving parts. I take it on hikes and runs and use it when I work out. They are now about $50. They're very simple. You simply load the audio and the machine plays it for you. You can't select songs or see any info. The video iPod has way more features, and you can even watch full-length movies on it. I've also loaded photos and can carry those with me. Of course, it has all the audio features of music. My son has an iPod touch which he seems to like. He's an engineer, and he likes gadgets. LOL. The nano is still available, and they are a nice step in between the video iPOD/touch and the shuffle.
I have an Apple iPod 30 GB.....
and I friggin LOVE it! I've had it for about a year or so now. My stepson has one as well. I use mine everyday while I type for work. I bought a Bose speaker dock. I've got like 1,800+ songs on this thing and I haven't even used up 1/4 of the memory on it. I bought a cable that plugs into most new vehicles so I can listen to my iPod in my vehicle.
My brother has a Zune MP3 player. He seems to like his as well but I don't know much about that brand. I just know I love my Apple iPod and my Bose speaker. The Bose speaker sounds awesome and you can take it outside for parties, etc. I is small enough to put on my desk for work without cluttering it up. Also, when I have my iPod on the Bose speaker....it charges the battery on my iPod.
You can buy cheaper iPod docks than a Bose one, but I really like my Bose!
I have the 60 GB iPod video and love it
and have tons of albums and videos on it. Some of my favorite ones are Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Dave Matthews, etc. I always take my iPod to the gym with me. I sometimes listen to my it in my car also since the stereo in my car has a plug in for iPods and other MP3 players, but I usually just listen to my XM satellite radio while on the road. I love their new Starbucks channel on the XM cafe.
I have an 80 gig iPod video and love it
I couldn't live without mine!
recently got an IPOD video - how do
I organize my music on it? I recently added Christmas music, and instead of taking it off, I wanted to put it in its own folder for next year. Does anyone know how to do that?
Son wanted an iPod last year...
He wanted one really badly but I just couldn't afford to spend that much. I ended up buying a Sony Walkman instead. It had a bigger screen, twice the memory and has just as many features as the iPod for half the price. He loves that thing, never leaves home without it. Now the only problem is finding accessories to go with it. It can hook up to any speaker system, it just uses a regular headphone/speaker jack but there are so many accessories out there specific to iPod that the Sony won't fit directly into the holders, have to use the speaker/headphone jack instead.
I guess it all depends if he's an accessories kind of person (which the iPod is the better choice since it's the leader in the market for accessories) or if he just wants a good MP3 player to carry around with him, then the Sony is perfect. Also, if you take a look a Zune, you can order one with a custom lasered cover, which is a pretty neat detail.
Want to buy DH IPOD. Can anyone suggest brands?
xx
If he wants IPOD, it is brand specific. sm
find out which one he wants and get him that one. They are the best, and especially if he wants an IPOD.
any ipod savvy people out there??
My ipod just bit the dust and I just purchased a new one tonight. When I tried to sync Itunes to my new ipod I wasn't able to do so, as the sync option was grayed out. I am going through severe ipod withdrawal (an entire WEEK without it!) and I just can't seem to figure out how to sync itunes to my new ipod. Is there a brilliant genius out there who can help me with this? My daughter and I would be eternally grateful!
I thought of an iPod, but he already has one and because he lives in the city, the air gun
It's such a quandry trying to buy for a teen! I really don't want to just get him a gift card. "Auntie" really wanted to do something memorable. He's getting older and he's just not that little bitty guy anymore! 
I have that song on my iPod and listen to it when I'm working out

:-) Birthday Girl - Mine is not an Ipod - LOL!!! sm
Sorry...just giggling over here. Maybe when I take this one back I should get an Ipod instead ;-)

My favorite new man! sm
Russell Crowe was recently interviewed. Here's what he had to say...
As for the future lessons he'll teach his boys about the opposite sex, Crowe says, "Look, when it comes to women, you are talking about mysteries that haven't been unraveled by the wisest scholars of all time. I'm not going to be able to do that. But I can teach my sons to respect them."
If all men could be this smart!
Here's my very favorite
Rugelach
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2-pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar plus 9 tablespoons
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup apricot preserves, pureed in a food processor
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash.
Cream the cheese and butter until light. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the salt, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour and mix until just combined. Dump the dough out onto a well-floured board and roll it into a ball. Cut the ball in quarters, wrap each piece in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
To make the filling, combine 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the raisins, and walnuts.
On a well-floured board, roll each ball of dough into a 9-inch circle. Spread the dough with 2 tablespoons apricot preserves and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the filling. Press the filling lightly into the dough. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges—cutting the whole circle in quarters, then each quarter into thirds. Starting with the wide edge, roll up each wedge. Place the cookies, points tucked under, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Brush each cookie with the egg wash. Combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on the cookies. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.
When I was a kid, my favorite was
Interjection, but now I really like Unpack Your Adjectives. They are all so clever.

For some reason these cookies are the best ever anywhere! Probably because I was a girl scout for 10 years and sold cookies every year with my sister. They too were 50 cents when I sold them and yes I feel like a dinasaur when they look at me like I'm the oldest thing they've ever seen. My favorites are the samoas and lemon cookies. Yum! I'm so excited...now if I can just find where to buy them around here. Hopefully some girlscout will come to my door like I used to go door to door when I was a girl scout.
They are my favorite, too....nm

dark chocolate is a health food. I totally bought into that and after one year, I had to spend all summer on the eliptical just to get rid of my big booty!

Who is your favorite TV host?
Any type of TV show, news, entertainment, informational/educational, sales, food, decorating, whatever!
I think my favorite has to be Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. He just cracks me up.
Who's yours?
my most favorite perfume ever!
and i love it!
Jordin is now my favorite . . .
I really liked her from the beginning. It's not just her voice I think she has the wow factor. All the other girls are great this year. Even Haley - even though she forgot the words she was adorable and I think she may get a lot of sympathy votes.
What's your favorite commercial?
I love the one where the guy gets up in the middle of the night and puts the diamond necklace around his wife's neck. When she wakes up he pretends to be asleep but right at the end he just barely starts to smile. He has the sexiest mouth!

Favorite book
I loved the Bobbsey Twins books. Boy, that dates me!
Ah...one of my favorite things to do!! (nm)

My favorite books
My absolute favorite book of all time is Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman. My next favorite which are hard to find (the author passed away) is by Day Taylor - The Black Swan & Moss Rose.
I used to like Danielle Steele until she started making her characters snooty, but her older books Thurston House, Palamino and The Ring are some of my favorites.
Another good one is Barbara Taylor Bradford's "A Woman of Subtance". Bout a woman from the 1800s/early 1900s who went from being a maid to being a successful business woman. My husband saw the movie and he loved it.
However, I wish I still had the book Paint the Wind. I could read that over and over and over.
what's your favorite commercial right now??
Mine is the hotels.com where they guy gets excited about having 2 shampoos in the hotel and the the wife goes, maybe they are trying to buy you off so you will write a good review...and he goes, it's working...and pours both bottles on his dry head. I don't know why but it just cracks me up every time I see it.
my favorite commercial is sm
The cell phone commercials with the old lady and her mom says who can you be texting and she says my BFF Rose.
favorite movie ever
"Queer Duck - the Movie"
What's your favorite TV show?
That's if you have time to watch TV. I record and watch them at night when I get off work or when I happen to find a free moment. Its nice to record because then I don't have commercials either so it goes by really fast.
I like the Young and the Restless and have been watching for years. It's the only soap I watch, the others just are not realistic enough for me to get in to them. I also like Old Christine but that has not been on lately. There's another show on Monday nights and I can't remember the name of it at the moment. Its about a husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, and a single guy. I'm also a Food Network junkie.
Those are my very favorite books ever...!!!
I've read them all more than once and just LOVE them. Can't wait for the 7th book, but I think that's the last one, which makes me sad.
Sucks to not be mom's favorite....sm
