iPod madness
Against the advice of Bob, I went ahead and got an FM transmitter for my ipod - I'm sick of not being able to use it in my car (I can't wait to get rid the vastly unorganized collection of cds in my car.) Besides, my car cd player has become quite picky and will only play the most unscratched cds. So basically that means that nothing will play without skipping.
I asked Bob about his FM transmitter that he used to use for his iPod. He said don't get it, it's a piece of shit. Unless I plan on getting it hard wired into my car, seems like the FM transmitter will be the only "temporary" solution. So while at Target the other day, I saw a belkin FM transmitter for $29.99. Luckily I waited cause later that night I found the same exact product on auction on Ebay (of course.) The bid was at $6.00 with only 31 minutes left. I ended up winning the bid and with shipping it came out to be $12.75!!! Damn, saved myself like 60%!
I love the thing... the concept of being ablt to carry around so much music is quite amazing. The only aspect I really hate is the fact that the metallic back gets scratched very easily and overall it seems pretty fragile. (I really need to get a case for it.) The next thing I need is a case and a retractable set of earphones. I guess I'm just a sucker for the toys :nP ¶ 12:02 AM
