I finally got my
iPod shuffle (512MB) after a 20-day wait. The first thing I noticed about it after I removed it from its green box was that it was very very small and light.
After reading the 32 page user guide, that can be downloaded from Apple
here, and taking a quick look at the
iPod shuffle reference card I started downloading my tunes (I tested this part out on a 600Mhz iBook G3 with 256MB of RAM), using the new
AutoFill function, which randomly picks as many songs as the iPod shuffle can hold (in my case: about 100). It took about 20 seconds per song for my iPod to load-up over my iBook's USB 1.1 (the slower kind). After letting it sit in my iBook's USB plug some more so it could juice up I plugged in the Apple headphones and stated listening. I immediately realized that the sound quality blew away my old MP3 player (It's like your in the same room).
The basic navigation of your music could not be easier: you simply change the switch on the back to the sequential or shuffle style of listening and use the volume up (and down) and the next song (and previous song) buttons on the click-wheel-type control pad on the front of the device. A lot of the other functions, though, are hard to access and require your read the cryptic lights on the front and back of the thing (hence the reason Apple includes the reference card, I guess). I have heard some people complain that it's not really a click-wheel because it requires you to push it, instead of just letting your finger glide over it. This is true, but why would you want that one a device without a screen anyway? I like it the way it is.
Their is a little feature in the iPod's preferences that lets you down-sample all music to 128bit AAC (only the files on the iPod, not your actual music files), this lets you store more music if all of your music is, for instance, 192bit MP3. This feature also lets your iPod shuffle play Apple loss-less files and AIFF files, which the iPod shuffle does not play natively. In my experiences with this feature it took much longer to copy files to the iPod, so I turned it off.
Using it in every day situations
Using it in everyday ways is a blast! The iPod is not to heavy to use with the included lanyard. It is great for just wearing around and then if you want to listen to music you simply pull a pair of headphones out of your pocket. The lanyard is a problem, unfortunately, if you are working on something were you need to bend over or where it might get caught on something. If you are running with it (like I do everyday) it works fine with the lanyard but it would probably be better to get the arm band if it did not cost $30!
iPod shuffle Geekery
Although, I did not make an
iPod shuffle RAID I did want to see what tricks this pony can do. First things first: making the
RIAA cry. I tried to find-out how hard/easy it was to get your music
off this thing so you can give your music to your friends. It was very easy! On Windows XP SP2 (no iTunes installed, yet) you simply open-up the volume that pops up when you connect the iPod to one of the computer's USB ports and inside a folder called
iPod_Control are all files associated with the iPod's preferences and the even all of the iPod's music. These files can be easily copied off of the device. On Macs it's a bit harder: the only way to see the
iPod_Control folder is by using the Terminal, I am not sure how Apple has managed to hide this folder.
Another question was: how many different OSs could see and access the iPod volume since its native format is FAT32? I was able to access and use the iPod volume without a hitch on Windows XP SP2 and SLAX Linux. When I connected the iPod shuffle to a Mac that was not originally associated with the iPod's music library iTunes launched and asked me if I would like to associate the iPod with
that computer's music library. After saying no to this I had complete access to the iPod from the Mac's Finder (A.K.A. File System Browser), except, off course, access to the
iPod_Control folder (unless you use the Terminal).
I also tried to install
Portable Firefox 1.0 . That install worked perfectly and I was soon browsing the internet (using an anonymous profile) with Firefox that was installed on my iPod's storage space.
Uhh ohh, problems
While using my new iPod I did run into some problems:
1. Sometimes when I was listening to an Audiobook from Audible.com in sequential mode, paused the book and I switched the device to shuffle mode and pushed play and changed to a song nothing would happen.
2. Also, sometimes the lights on the device would not go on or go on late.
3. Pressing the play button three times in one second when in sequential mode is supposed to start playing the first song in your playlist. I usually keep my Audiobooks at the end of the iPod's lone playlist. Then when I want to play them I press the play button three times in one second (when it's in sequential mode) and it starts playing the first song in my playlist, then I change the song to the previous one (which in this case is the last one, which is my Audiobook). But sometimes my Audiobook would not play. This is sometimes annoying and I hope Apple can fix this in the firmware.
Keeping it "Like New"
Once you get your hands on your new iPod you'll want to keep it shiny, white, and clean. The iPod shuffle's surface is much more maintainable then it's big brother's surface. Looking at my iPod right now (7 days after I got my hands on it) I see two barely noticeable scratches and two areas were it looks like it had some friction against something else. Apple's cleaning directions are to use a slightly damp cloth, and that works great.
Would I buy it again?
Yes, I would by this iPod shuffle again. The storage space it has is great for its $99 price tag and it has great features. While it does not have a radio or a screen like a lot of other MP3 players, it does play iTunes Music Store files, double as a thumb drive, and is so light that it dangles around your neck.

А вот знаете что z подумала.
Десять дней на Новогодние праздники - это черезчур. Сперва как все обрадовалась, что одыхать так много будем. А вот как вспомнила прошлый год, и позапрошлый. Так что-то передумала. Сами посудите, ни денег, ни здоровья не хватит. Опять головная боль, опять лишние калории, и опять весь год хождения в спортзал коту под хвост.
Ну что смеётесь? я не права??

Спешу поделиться новостью: обмен Яндекс.Денег на Вебмани и обратно больше официально не производится. Не знаю, какая их собака укусила, но сейчас обмен практически невозможен. Все крупные обменники, коими я пользовался переводы в данных направлениях просто не осуществляют. Порой приходилось с ЯД на WM переводить немалые суммы. И что теперь делать, ума не приложу.
Хорошо наверное тем, кто не пользуется электронной валютой, а по старинке - банковскими операциями, платёжками по факсу и тд)))

А у меня ёлка осыпалась(((( Хорошо хоть до Старого Нового Года успела продержаться. Правда не знаю теперь, как её из квартиры выносить, весь ведь ковролин будет в иголках по пути следования до входной двери.
Кстати, а куда её вообще теперь девать? В мусоропровод она не войдёт, а просто бросать как это делает быдло, у подъезда, тоже не хочу. Обратно в лес везти чтоли))))
В выходные сходили компанией на киносеанс Нашей Раши, хочется поделиться впечатлениями, пока свежи воспоминания и горячи эмоции. Сразу хочу оговориться - посмотреть фильм стоит. Новая лента Comedy Club Production выигрывает у своих предшественников – “самых лучших фильмов» сразу по нескольким показателям. Во-первых, это актёрский состав. Совсем не трудно догадаться, что больше 1/2 ролей в фильме исполняют Галустян и Светлаков. Конечно, не хочется говорить, что фильм выехал только на них, но если бы не эти ребята, фильм смотрелся бы достаточно убого. Не спорю, может быть мы все уже привыкли и полюбили персонажей из сериала Наша Russia, и именно поэтому в кино мы шли без большой доли скептицизма. И это уже пункт второй: бренд нашей Раши. Ну и в третьих, это какой-никакой, но сюжет - последовательность действий, которые мало-помалу развиваются от начала, и имеют логическую (или не совсем) концовку. Чего почти что не было в самых лучших фильмах - где грубо говоря была последовательность миниатюр, кое как скреплённых общей ниточкой меж собой.
Конечно, фильм Наша Раша Яйца Судьбы не без минусов - это порой уже потёртые шутки, а некоторые моменты можно было обыграть и развить получше. Слишком мало в действии мы увидели Ивана Дулина, Настю Кузнецову, Снежану Денисовну, Славика с Димоном. Ну и, если честно, не очень порадовала концовка, которая оказалась как то очень смятой, скоротечной, и при этом предсказуемой. Но, несмотря на это, фильм всё же понравился. Конечно создатели постарались, чтобы зрители выходили из зала с улыбкой на лице, и в финальные титры "посадили" Сергея Юрьевича Белякова, который в пух и прах разложил всех создателей и участников фильма, кроме себя любимого. Ход сыграл на все 100%!!!
It's interesting to see just how permeant digital memory has become in our lives. It seems like everywhere I turn, I see something with a card slot or USB port, lol. I guess it makes sense though, considering how cheap memory has become as of late...
Ahhh, who am I to complain. I can't make it through a single day without using my R4 / R4i!

Недавно задумалась над такой ситуацией: а что если бы во всём мире пропал интернет. Я конечно понимаю, что интеренет сам по себе взять и испариться не может, но всё-таки, если не брать во внимание все технические нюансы, и вообразить что такое возможно... Теперь не почитать новости, блоги, не найти нужную информацию в гугле, а самое страшное не выйти ни в аську, ни в контакт!
И тут я поняла насколько я зависима от сети. Нет, вроде бы целыми днями перед монитором не провожу, однако признаюсь, день начинаю и заканчиваю и менно компьютером. Хотя, если с другой стороны посмотреть, будет больше живого общения, и больше времени на реальные развлечения, на саморазвитие и т.п. Хотя опять же с другой стороны, с некоторыми друзьями связаться можно только через инет (кто живет в других городах и странах, телеон - дорого знаете ли), ну и дополн.инфо можно получить быстро, чем сидеть в библиотеках...

Jim asked him once. Will you wait for me? She did not question him. Have you ever met him? He was pacing impatiently across the office. These may not be valid reasons. The mind is powerless against them. She raised her face to him, in obedient indifference.
She let her gaze trail slowly up the smooth, bare skin of his legs. Everyone they passed watched carefully, knowing that something of great importance occurred this very moment. He nodded, slid an arm about Irins shoulders, and led his truemate from the room. They had fought about it too often for Eyrhaen not to know what he meant. Frustration and anger buzzed, blurring her vision. Miraculously, no one seemed to notice. She had neither seen nor asked after Tykir, Lanthan, nor Brevin. Eyrhaen glanced over her shoulder to meet Radins triumphant smile. Brevin had called them teasing on more than one occasion. I owe each of you an apology as well. Radin was there, backing her up. She couldnt help that her laugh was a tad nervous. She found her own breath finally, staring up at him. His body shook, his thrusts gone ragged. She closed her eyes, wanting to savor every little move he made. None of the others had been carved to look like a reedy young tree. You can hardly have all the time in the world for me. But the look on your face tells me theres more. I fell in love with you when I was only a shadow in the darkness. His eyes closed the rest of the way, tongue teasing her fingertips.
How r u? your website is cute
you should watch at that crazy emo video clip:

Hed been brought to his old suite of rooms and laid out on his bed. Dirt and grime smeared his skin, and his sleek hair was a knotted, tangled mess. His hands at her waist steadied her as he obediently scooted forward in the chair. It didnt even help that Brevin was sucking Tykirs cock right beside them. She felt the soothing fingers of a sleep spell seep into her mind.
