I finally realized I'm living in the 21st century not the 20th. I went out and bought myself an MP3 player. This from a guy who thought 8 track tapes (remember those?) were the height of listening pleasure. I still have them at home. I can't wait to try it out. I can put some of my favorite CDs on it. It's nice to get out of the stone age of music!
haha CONGRADULATIONS!!! 8 track tapes... lol. CD's are even experiencing problems in sales because of people downloading just one or two MP3 tracks from itunes or something. I love my mp3 player
Wow, David, an upgrade from webtv to msn, and now an MP3! What's next? Hang on to your hat!
Freedom, look out! I could go with digital tv and a satelite (sp?) dish!Quote:

A bit of warning though, some cds have copyright protection built in and won't let you copy them to your computer/mp3 player or if they do the files sound really bad. What sound formats does your mp3 player deal with? I had one that played wav files and wma (Windows media player format) files as well as mp3s so I could usually get around the copyright thing by just copying the files to wma format as the cd will let you do that most of the time.
I think that may be against fair use rules, which say you may copy for your own use from one medium to another (ie CD to tape *gasp* or your MP3 player.)
So what kind did you get? How big? I have a Creative Zen 30 GB and love it!
:D Gosh, I'm green with envy! I'm too chicken to try an mp3 player. I'm just now comfortable with cds! :D
;) Thats Ok David to Retro now & then.. I still have (2) 8 track players working & a big Real-to-Real working that I retro from now & then.. :p But Hey many Congrats on the move up & enjoy..
LOL,
David, you forgot 4 track tape decks! :D
Don't feel bad, David. I just bought a DVD player for $20 at a hock shop. I'm an electronical late bloomer too, so don't feel bad.
Good on you bro, it is good to move with the times, i don't have one myself, but would not hesitate to buy one if i felt i would get a lot of use from it,good for us oldies to keep up with the latest trends. lol :)
