The I-Pod Revolution Continues

Well I am rather pleased with myself.  I have now reloaded all the albums that had to be deleted back on to my i-pod.  When I say 'all the albums', I mean excluding all my man's CDs  as we so do not have the same musical taste.  80s electonica is not for me. And neither is Billy Ocean. 

Although I am rather dismissive of my man's musical taste, he did help me with registering the lap-top to enable me to re-load music back on to my i-pod.  Is that cheating?  We had a lively battle when it came to identifying the actual command to transfer all the albums that I had painstakingly 'ticked' and assigned to various play-lists that I had set up (yay me!). We tried all the commands on the top of the page (File / Edit / View etc etc) and could not work out how to transfer to i-pod. Then he (and I am happy to give him the credit for this) spotted the correct command half-way down the page titled 'Music'.  Not immediately obvious because before then, you are using all the commands at the top of the page.  But I got there.

I still find it strange that saving albums on play list means you save the tracks, so no album headings.  The albums themselves are saved under 'albums' as well, so that is OK.   I realise that I am such a creature of habit that I like my music in the order that they came on the album, and not a list of tracks.  I did not expect to be un-nerved but it has! Next time I go to the gym, or have a dinner party (hark at me) I will select the appropriate play-list and select 'shuffle' (not 'random' - I wish companies would use the same terminology). It will be weird not knowing what track comes next.

I am pleased that I have downloaded on to my i-pod and I will also tackle my daughter's one.  I think she has grown out of High School Musical and her Katie Price and Peter Andre CD!!!!

On a final note, my man asked if this blog extended to to the dishwasher.  I said yes, and I had already mentioned it.  He then (un)graciously showed me the 'start' button - as if I have never used it before!!!!

Thinking about getting the sausage maker out this weekend as my man has oldest daughter and her family coming to stay.  Thought it might be fun to make our own sausages with them!  Well it is nearly a year since his birthday which means we have had it a year and never made sausages with it.

Watch this space!!!

  1. Well, you learned how to let me (and others?) know when you've added to your blog. I think I need two things: an i-pod and someone to explain what the hell you said in your previous post! Quick question, do you not know what's coming up when you download an album?
