Portable tunes

[rtaylor61]

Guys,

I have a 3rd generation i-Pod, 15 gigs that I use for my personal "tunage". What are you using?

Randy

[RVL Saratoga]

Linn Axis turntable, Creek Audio amp, and a bookcase full of VINYL. Oh, and an iPod Nano 2GB (can't stay home ALL day.)

Robert

[Dripp]

I just picked up a Ipod Nano 2gb. I primarily use it to run with and to drown out some of the people I work with throughout the day.

[Scotto]

I have a flash-based iRiver player, outdated at 256Mb.... :redface:

[Shermdog]

I have a 4G 20 Gig Ipod and also an Ipod Shuffle for working out.

I have a connection to my hometheater and universal remote...so I dock the Ipod in my home theater and it can be played throughout my entire house. This is great for entertaining.

I also have an alarm clock that docks the ipod so I wake up listening to my tunes every morning.

I have everything but some Apple stock!

[murchmb]

At work, I use a HeadAmp Gilmore Headphone Amp V2 with an 1G iPod, a classic Sony D25 Portable CD player (very solid and overengineered), or my laptop as a source. Connected to this setup is usually a pair of Sennheiser HD580's but occasionally some Etymotic ER6 in-ear phones. More "personal" than "portable." If I need to go mobile, I use the iPod and the Etymotics.

I have my first generation iPod still. Battery replaced under warranty once. It stays in my car. Well, actually I sold my 5gb back in 2002 or 03- this is a 10, but still first gen.

I've had 512mb shuffle that I take to the gym for almost a year now.

Both work great!!

Robert,

I lost a close personal friend in June, and he left his stereo to me. First time I've had a turntable in working condition since the early '90's. Now, if all of my albums weren't still in Texas!

Randy,
If you had both of your records, you'ld probably just sit there playing There's a Tear in My Beer and All My Ex's (usedta) Live in Texas!.:hand:

Ron...don't forget, I used to be a d.j.! I have a , ahem, sizable album collection!

Randy

[Austin]

Ron, don't forget Redneck Mothers and Luckenbach Texas. :biggrin:

[rtaylor61]

Andrew...can't ever forget about Jerry Jeff Walker or Waylon, or Willie. It's amazing what one album can do to change the face of music...The Outlaws was really cutting edge.

no comment on the music artist discussion, but i still use a turntable- a fancy looking (but not fancy sounding) B&O from the 80s.

i still listen to records. haven't bought as many over the past 5 years, when I was buying more new and used rock records. iPod has probably contributed to that. much 80s vinyl was shite (on purpose, if you will), but my 70s records sound awesome as do my 90s records from indy labels

[RVL Saratoga]

Does anyone remember the magazine Hi-Fi Heretic? I was the LAST kid on my block to own a CD player. I really do prefer the warmer analog sound. And, much of my record collection doesn't exist on CD. Bring back vinyl and straight-razors!

Jerry Jeff fans, eh? I used to see him around Oneonta, New York when I lived out that way. Yep, sorry to disappoint y'all, but he's a born-and-bred Yankee.

Robert

[mark the shoeshine boy]

and don't forget his Mary Poppins records either !!!!

Randy did you rmember going to the armadilo or whatever it was called for "austin city limits"...they seem to have some great entertainment over the years....

trivia question: Who was the first person to be on "austin city limits" television show ????

mark tssb

[Austin]

Mark, that would be Willie Nelson.

[rtaylor61]

Mark, that would be Willie Nelson.

Give that man a Cohiba!

Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck.
She got runned over by a damned old train.


Oh, and I have a Sony Walkman....no i-pod or anything like that.

[Austin]

Art, sorry to hear about your mom. :biggrin:

Art,

That's from the "perfect country song". Well, at least after that verse was added. Wow...never thought I would see David Alan Coe quoted here. That man is dangerous!

Randy

[AACJ]

That man is dangerous!

Randy

And funny lookin too!!

[mark the shoeshine boy]

Austin is correct...willie was the first to appear...

Steve Goodman actually wrote "the perfect song" as it says in the song itself...Steve appeared also on "Austin City Limits" many times. Fortunatley, I had a vcr then and I taped many and many country acts.

But Steve had songs like "Face on the cutting room floor" Nitty Gritty Dirt Band....Talk Backwards and some others I cant remember this morning...

Google his name and you will be surprised about his music...

David Allen Coe's manager lives about 15 miles from me. Crocky Peterson is a very wealthy man. His father had 2 pepsi bottling companies around here and a big lumber yard. Crocky raced in the Indy 500..ONCE....a man of no talent but a barrel of money Crocky started managing acts and wound up with DAC. He had him sign autographs one year and I had my guitar and old poster of him signed.

My gosh he looks rough !!!!

Did I ever tell you guys that I was the son of Charley Pride and Minnie Pearl....they call me "Pearl's Pride !!!!

Yeah! I love Vinyl, too. Its a fuller, warmer sound, to be sure. CD's just can't quite match it, IMHO. That hasn't stopped me from buying lots of CD's, though.

My home set up features a Technics SL1200 (left over from my very short lived dj days in college -- sold the other one) with a Stanton Trackmaster 2 SK (Spherical) needle.

My portable set up features a Sony AM/FM Cassette Walkman with a pair of American Airlines headphones... gotta love those airplane headphones :smile:

for xmas i got my girlfriend a cowon iaudio x5 with 20gb of space.

it is more a high end gadget than it is an mp3 player...

[gage0921]

I plan on purchasing a 2gb Ipod Nano before I ship back out...sure is alot of money for something so small. Im curious if there is anything else just as good thats cheaper.

[mark the shoeshine boy]

you could buy a jew's harp for $5 bucks and play any tune you want...except "white rabbit" or " i am a chameleon"

I picked up a 1GB scandisk for $99.99 and it sounds good and works just as well, my only complaint is ripping music to windows media is so slow compared to itunes.
