Cute, huh?
I bought this last year to transfer files from the old desktop to the laptop – decided to spend a bit more on the charity Oxfam one (also cos I liked the colour). Since then it’s become very useful for collecting music from friends for my iPod.
Today I remembered that one of my students still had my memory stick from a few weeks ago (I’d left it there to get filled up just before I got sick) and so Nog stopped by on his way home from class to pick it up. And … wow! This guy is a musician and has a couple of shops here (percussion instruments and guitars) and he also has the most amazing CD and MP3 collection I’ve ever seen. And so the very eclectic 2 GB music mix I got today is just the tip of the iceberg.
It also gave me a little project to do this morning (synchronizing my iPod). I mean, there’s only so much reading and DVD watching a girl can do . . .

I’m all set now! 🙂
Love the groovy zip-up carrying case too (that came as a surprise when I opened the box). It has a 10-hour battery and comes with European and UK slide-on plug options – very cool. I have it on “shuffle” now and it’s great! At 34 x 9 x 4 cm it would have easily slipped into my suitcase for the Tavira trip so we could have had music in our room. Ah well, next trip …
Am now going to hide my credit card before it melts.

I’m very glad I bought my cute little 1 GB shuffle because it’s not only perfect for the gym (and only cost 45€) but it also helped me realise that the 8 GB nano I’d been considering (which costs 180€) would have never been big enough. Once I started copying some old music files from the Jag, as well as getting some tunes from my friend AgustÃn last week, I found I already had 3 GBs of music – and I ‘ve barely got started.
So I cruised by Fnac after work last night and found a couple of these nero babies hanging around on a top shelf, reduced to 170€. Turns out it’s a somewhat older model ipod that’s about the same size as the snazzy new touchpad model … and it has 80 GBs! (the 32 GB touchpad model costs about 450€)
Has anybody ever had one of these or know anything about them?
Would I be totally nuts not to buy one?
