Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / January 2008Purchases while drunk
While trying to get to sleep early yesterday I must have decided that drinking copious amounts of alcohol was a good idea. However, due to the joy of the iTunes WiFi Store I appear to have purchased Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" and "The Rose" last night. I thought something might be fishy when I de-slumbered at 05:30 laying on my iPod Touch so plugged it in to my PC to see what I'd been doing with it. 26 plays of Wind Beneath My Wings. ANyway, sausage sarnie is calling.

A few more have been CDs have been added since I did that Cover Flow but the quality of Flash Video on Google Video/YouTube is really quite bad so I haven't bothered to update the clip. I remember having about 1,500 tracks on my iPod and flicking through it at work thinking "I haven't got anything to listen to!" A colleage then said that I must have something to listen to and she giggled at me. She's got my old iPod now with all of her music on it and on Thursday said "I haven't got anything to listen to."

We have a similar taste in music and have done iPod Swapsies before but one sometimes gets to the stage where nomatter what music is playing it's boring. >It sounds like she was flirting.

Well, 1500 tracks? Even with a 16GB iTouch there isn't enough room. What you need is a 160GB iPod Classic...

Even with a 16GB iTouch there isn't enough room. > >What you need is a 160GB iPod Classic... On my iPod touch I've got, according to iTunes: 3.58 Gb Audio 1.68 Gb Video 19.4 Mb Photos 106.6 Mb Other (web cache, emails, stocks & shares, weather, maps, etc.) The audio is 616 songs (MP3 @ 192Kb/sec minimum[1]) which is 1.7 days without a repeated track. iTunes by default encodes at 128Kb/sec AAC so if one wanted to squeeze everything down one could certainly hold about 1,500 tracks. (checks specs) <http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html> 1,750 128Kb/sec AAC's for the 8Gb model or 3,500 for the 16Gb model. I flogged my iPod Classic 80Gb to my colleage when I got the iPod Touch and after thinning down my music collection[1] I've still got plenty of space left. [1] I also have several downloaded albums at lower and higher bitrates, plus a few purchases from iTunes and the iTunes WiFi Music Store. [2] When I had the iPod Classic 80Gb I would just rip entire albums and chuck them on the Classic as it had so much space but when I got the iPod Touch I discovered the rating system so would have music on Shuffle and find tracks I'd just skip, so I rated them as 1-star and when I got home I'd plug it in and let it sync, then delete the track from iTunes which then removed the track from the Touch when I hit sync. So now I've pretty much only got the tracks I like from my albums and rarely skip a track. New album purchases are always thrown on the iPod Touch and I rate and delete as above to thin them out.

Not enough. The stuff I've ripped from my own CD's adds up at 4414 tracks, or 12 Days, 13 hours, 17 mins... and I still find that on some days I've nothing to listen to. It's brilliant to leave on shuffle though, especially on long car journeys. >> The audio is 616 songs (MP3 @ 192Kb/sec minimum[1]) which is 1.7 days >> without a repeated track.

Don't know exactly how many tracks are on mine, but its something like 160 CDs, all ripped using AAC lossless. Takes up about 70GB. Plus another 15GB of video & audio podcasts. I had something like 16000+ tracks from loads of places, but got pisses with the poor quality of a lot of them so started from scratch again and only have what I own on there now, plus some stuff downloaded from alltunes in OGG 256Kbps. > I flogged my iPod Classic 80Gb to my colleage when I got the iPod > Touch and after thinning down my music collection[1] I've still got > plenty of space left.

Bloody annoying that they don't let you delete tracks directly. I do that as well, 0 star = delete, 1 = classical, 2 = easy, 3 = rock, 4 = dance, 5 = talkies.

One of the reasons I decided to start pretty much from scratch was the OGG problem with the iPod range - they don't play OGGs. Pretty much MP3, AAC and that's it apart from an audiobook format. >> I flogged my iPod Classic 80Gb to my colleage when I got the iPod >> Touch and after thinning down my music collection[1] I've still got >> plenty of space left. > >If they ever realease a 3G iPhone with 160GB I'll buy one. I'm trying to think of any modern phone with a 160Gb in it. 8Gb seems to be considered big these days for a phone, which is the n95 and I *think* the iPhone does 8Gb (or is it 6...) >> find tracks I'd just skip, so I rated them as 1-star and >> when I got home I'd plug it in and let it sync, then delete the track [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >that as well, 0 star = delete, 1 = classical, 2 = easy, 3 = rock, 4 = >dance, 5 = talkies. 1 star = kill. 2 stars = kill if I haven't listened to it for a month, 3 stars fine. 4 & 5 stars and it auto-adds to my iTouch 'highest rated' playlist. It also has a '25 most played' playlist which updates depending on what I've listened to the most. I can also sort and by genre which saves having to use odd star ratings to decide what music is what. I can also great custom 'on the go' playlists directly from the device which then sync back to iTunes. I would sometimes like to directly delete a track from the iPod Touch, but it doesn't let me. I can delete videos and podcasts from the device by swiping my finger from left to right over the track name, but not music. Go figure.

True, but for downloading tracks over't'web its about the best one. 256Kbps OGGs are damn close to the original quality, OGG has tags that allTunes uses so I can easily convert them to whatever I want. iPods don't understand OGGs but you can get OGG plugins for iTunes, so it can read the tags and play them, and then its a doddle to get iTunes to convert them to AAC. > >> I flogged my iPod Classic 80Gb to my colleage when I got the iPod > >> Touch and after thinning down my music collection[1] I've still got [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > to be considered big these days for a phone, which is the n95 and I > *think* the iPhone does 8Gb (or is it 6...)
