Wow, no comments? I guess it's not as big a deal as I thought...but something is telling me maybe it's so new that people are still in the dark about it...

I was listening to Public Radio this weekend and they had a segment on...Podcasting. "What is it?", you ask. Well, I'm glad you asked. Read at your leisure: http://www.ipodder.org/ Then you'll need: http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/index.php Now, I haven't actually tried using this with an MD player. I'm sure there is some kind of aggregator that will work if this doesn't. I'll venture a guess and say that it won't be easy through crappy SonicStage. I don't have the time to test. This REALLY seems like something BIG. It's like watching a newborn baby being born. Imagine, you can listen to what you want, when you want. The content supply is going to be infinite and FREE. All the Rush Limbaugh's and Howard Sterns are going to have MEGA COMPETION. Ever wanted to be a DJ? Now you can-for free!!! Best of all, we can record a podcast with as little as an MD and a mic. What a world we are living in, people. What a world!!! I did a search on this site for podcasting, and found nothing, so I thought fellow MD fans would find it interesting. Let's see what other interesting things you guys can find out about it! Maybe someone can post a how to for MD. Andy

Did you get a response from Stacyritchie??? This dude doesn't even have the courtesy to respond to email... But let's all thank him/her for using the forum... Andy

What does the last line in my post say???

All I can say is...WOW!!! You don't know what you're missing, if you are using cheap phones. Thanks to Aeriyn for the referal. These are excellent phones. After listening to about 6 songs of various artists, I could hear instruments I never heard before, vocals I never heard before, and other nuances like squeeky bass drum pedals, picks against guitar strings, etc. The range on these little gems is unreal. By far the best $120 I spent in 2004. Go get some now! http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/search/search...m=1&incimage=on Add to cart to get them for $119 with free shipping!!!

Got any pics? Ever been dropped? Are there any scratches??? P.M. sent

We were in Chicago today, and I saw a few people with the NOTORIOUS-BRIGHT-WHITE ear buds stuck in their ears. My personal opinion: It looks cool against the black shadowing people dancing in the commercial, but I don't care for it in person. I had 5 teens with me (3-13 yr olds and 2-16 yr olds) and we hit the Apple store on the Magnificent Mile. The IPODS were everywhere. I like the design of the Ipod, not the color. I don't like the short battery life. I don't like the high price. (Remember how much a "Sony Walkman" cassette player used to cost when they came out? The MZ-S1's I bought will get me through the next few years, until the price comes down, or something better comes along.

Not even close. I had one of the first MP3 players made...The Rio 64 Meg made by Diamond (which changed their company name to RIO). I used it one time. It was on a motorcycle trip. I could only compress one album on it in order to sound good. Now, the trip lasted four hours. See where I'm going? Now I can't stand INX (the band), because I had to listen to their album over and over, and was not able to change anything (no computer with me). I personally think all of these MP3 players that are under 20 Gig are a joke. The 256 and under are a down right RIP OFF! Mark my words, you will be listening to the same stuff over and over, because it's too much work, or you don't have access to YOUR computer with YOUR music. Now the Minidisc on the other hand... Had I owned one on that trip... Enough said. See my post on the Sony MZ-S1. You'd better hurry, because at that price, I bought one for everyone in my immediate family. And I bet I'm not the only one... Andy

I forgot: MZ-S1 uses (1) AA battery, and lasts a LONGGGG time Did I forget anything else? Andy

MZ-S1: What's it's got: Net MD (USB) Optical IN!!! AC Adapter!!! Built like a tank!!! Backlit display!!!!!!! Scrolling Song name/artist/album And...drum roll please... $75 at Sears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who here can BEAT that? Other deals going on just in time for Christmas: 20 pack Memorex crystal 80 minutes at Circuit City for: $24.99. Plus .20 cents off because it rings up $26.99, but the shelf says $24.99 :laugh: Optical Cable: Circuit City 6 footer WITH the 3.5mm adapters INCLUDED for $14.99. Plus .20 cents off because it rings up $16.99. Bwahahahaha Get em for the kiddies. I have been admiring MD for years, but just couldn't afford one. This changes everything. For $75, I've got an MD. How cool is this? I love this thing (I'm listening to it now). Andy (Age 35) newbie, Kenosha Wisconsin :grin:
