Soundtrack To Your Life

Along the lines of Sal's iPod shuffle thread… Sadly I can't play along there is no DAP or large mp3 library on hand.

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

How to do it:
1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc).
2. Put it on Shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Be honest.

What about us who don't own…or have any intention of owning…a device that enables you to to carry 5,000,000 songs around with you, which for some of us seems absolutely and totally unnecessary.

Not unlike,

A watch that tells you what time it is in Australia..why do I give a toss what time it is in Australia if I'm not actually in Australia.

A mobile phone that lets you play games, send emails, surf the internet….How about selling me a phone that makes clear phone calls?

A non-alcoholic beer - just exactly what is the point of a non-alcoholic beer?

Sorry to threadjack, but it seemed you assumed EVERYONE has one of these IPOD yokes. Maybe it comes with age but when new stuff comes out I never say "I gotta have one" I ask myself "Do I need one?"

Well I feel no need to own a large iPod, I listen to entire records at a time thus the CD is fine for me. I can easily burn my eMusic downloads on to a CD for transport.

I do like the ability of having a internet capable phone, especially when you can use as a bluetooth modem for a laptop. If all I had was a smart phone, the ability to get streaming audio on its a nice to have feature.

..while I'm on a roll. Why do you need to be in a coffee shop surfing the internet. Stay at home and surf, you tosser. A paying customer needs the seat you're taking up.

I think we already addressed this issue though… ;)

i dont have an ipod either..but being from Canada, i'm still so daggone fascinated with these phones, lights and radio y'all have i think i'll wait a bit to get an ipod!

I was thinking about this today. At my local coffee shop this morning, almost every seat was taken by some loner with a laptop. I looked around and noted that most of them weren't even doing anything substantial… browsing news sites, chatting. Do your cybering from home, ya freak.

ok, now I probably will get to some point having a device to carry all my mp3's around but not just yet. f Apple I say:
