I've 'discovered' mp3 players!
So, okay, I'll be the first to admit that I am not all that technology savvy - I often am not curious enough to spend the time learning how to work gizmos and gadgets - especially if I don't see the need for them.
I'd pretty much felt that way about these portable mini mp3 players that every other person seems to have. But recently I'd been missing listening to as much music as I used to, and when Robin got his I-River his 'old' (that is, a few months old!) one was up for grabs. I was a bit slow on the uptake, but last night I got Robin to take me through how it works, and most importantly - how to store a pile of songs on it!
So I'm now here, happily typing and listening to Paul Weller's Studio 150 album on MY mp3 player! Brill.
Only thing is - I wish it had even more capacity - I'll have to keep shuffling songs on and off so I don't get sick of these ones really soon!

I know what you mean, they are great, aren't they. MY mp3 player has been stolen by the girls, who listen to a mixture of McFly, Spring Harvest/kids worship stuff, and audiobooks of all sorts ... if you're into audiobooks it's well worth checking out audible.co.uk - a while back they were offering free ipod shuffles if you signed up ...
Have toyed with the idea of MP3s. Mark keeps trying to win an ipod in these Walkers crisps prize drawers- he's concerned that being used to a 25 CD stereo we would be disappointed unless we got something with a whopping memory!
BTW to get the CD's to MP3 we used CDEx which is a free tool. Does exactly what is says on the tin. May have to do a quick tutorial on my blog.
I used to be signed up to audible in the states. But since they have started the co.uk one I have found their £ prices just extortionate! Also I diodn't like the way you had to buy into a programme rather than just downloading the book on MP3.
You can download free audio books from a number of places. (e.g. http://www.audiobooksforfree.com/screen_main.asp)
But, I love podcasts the best! iTunes have a good directory.
Still get my audiobook mp3's from the states when I need to - but not from audible.com.
thanks for that link, Robin, hadn't seen that site before. I like podcasts too but don't have time to keep up with the few I like!
