The brand name iPod is used in the same way that Kleenex, Xerox, Q-Tip and Jeep are.

And as lucifer_sam already mentioned, they are not limited to playing ACC files. I use iTunes (for organizing and playing, not for purchasing) and an iPod, with a PC. And I never touch AAC files.

Regarding the list, I only have a handful of those and they're certainly not things that would stay on the iPod in heavy rotation. They'll get thrown on occasionally but that's it. Seems to be a list of "classic well-known staples" which is fine, just not for me as my tastes constantly evolve and I'm constantly on the hunt for new stuff. Plus my iPod is only 8GB with files at minimum 192kbps so things are always getting rotated on and off.

As far as I'm concerned nothing stays on my iPod permanently, a few months maybe as I get familiar with something. If I had a 100GB+ brick I suppose some things would stay on. I kind of like having a smaller one though as it stays lean to focus on the stuff I'm currently exploring.

Although an awful choice for a Jane's Addiction song...

downwardspiral · 04-26-2010, 12:32 PM

I love that Jane's tune! It's awesome. Maybe I'll change it to Obvious, but maybe not.

I was hoping people would talk about the music and/or artists, maybe even submit their own lists that in their opinion are great.

Once again my intention was a little light hearted fun and I apologize for hurt feelings.

Thanks, John

No worries, man. I may have only had one song from that list but I enjoyed your post...

RVCA · 04-26-2010, 12:36 PM

Both lists in this thread are pretty epic

BTW I only have 4 out of the 100 listed on my player so I am very happy to join the crap brigade.

Beats my 0 out of 100.

With or without that music though my iPod is crap. Not the music, the device. Apple is sh*t.

Arya Stark · 04-26-2010, 06:53 PM

Ohh, I only have the Sam and Dave song, but I've yet to listen to it.
It's not really a list I would be interested in, though.
What made you decide to make this list?
