I bought an ipod - a nano ipod - it will hold 2000 of my favourite songs!
The trouble with the dial-up is that it could take 10 hours to download the necessary program it needs to operate. Why don't they just pre-install it?
I wonder what my 2000 favourite songs are? Maybe it knows already.

You're very brave, Diane. The grandchildren have ipods and, although they've shown me a million times, I still haven't a clue how to work one. Fortunately, my song list is about 10 so my mp3 player is just right!
-
I got up at 4:30 to see if the program itunes downloaded - and yes it did. Cool, amazing stuff!
It is now 5:45 and I have two Leonard Cohen disks installed. What a great toy this is. :-)
-
Diane, I take it the reason you don't have broadband is that it is unavailable in your area?
Move!
-
We could get digital (we have that for the TV) - but I am too cheap to pay what they want for it. I could go to the library where they have the Supernet.
-
I don't know how you can stand it, Diane, we got throttled on Sunday for two days, to a speed slightly faster than dial up and everything kept dropping out. My son's fault - he went mad on the downloads. We have download limits here on Broadband.
I just have a little cheap mp3 player. It takes about 1GB of stuff, but it's too hard to work out how to choose which song to play, so I just let it go from beginning to end. I only listen to it on my walks. Enjoy your iPod, Diane! ;D

I'm old enough to remember the days when we all used to stand around the piano and listen to or 128mb MP3 players. Life seemed so simple then.

Do you remember those things with a wind-up handle on the side, and a needle?

Those 'wind-up' things were call gramaphones in my day. As the youngest in the family, it was my job to wind the damn thing up. You had to remember to put the brake on or you'd be winding up for days!!

I had one which actually used wooden styluses. And before anyone expresses no surprise at that, it was an antique when I was a child.

Did they rotate from right to left? ..0

I was too short to see over the top of the box - my job was to 'crank' it and mind my own business!!

This is a sensible question:
Would it really matter if you put your "L" earphone in your right ear and vice versa?

Is that like the question 'if a tree fell in a forest and there was no-one around, would it make a sound?'
???
I've not noticed anything sounding different when I used my headphones on the wrong ears - I've only just noticed they had an L and an R on them!

Intrigued, I've done some research into this.
Most studio recordings are really multi-channel mono recordings, in which the producer 'places' the audio signal from each channel somewhere between hard left and hard right using the pan control on the mixing console. Each instrument or voice is recorded very close to the source, eliminating any room effects. The relative content, left vs. right, is a production decision, so listening with the left earphone in your left ear and the right in your right reproduces the environment the producer was trying to create.
So, in effect, you could end up hearing things the opposite way round.

It'd all depend on if you were left-eared or not though.

In China they listen from right to left.

YOU'VE just written 'it's ears in China'...... ??? and, as far as I know, China doesn't have ears!
Or did you mean 'it's ?? in Chinese?

'it's (known as) ?? in China' ..0 (The "known as" was unspoken). ..0
Please don't make me use up all my Pilch symbols on you, Vulch. ..0 xx

The "known as" may have been unspoken, but the "xx" mark of the crawler was not.

Yes, thanks Tom. That seems to explain why you don't get that stereo effect anymore, where the sound moves from speaker to speaker - some of the Beatles songs have it. I rather like that.
