Kicking & Screaming...

Feeling sort of ol' fashioned, digitally speaking: I like my CD-R format & am having trouble with this whole i-Pod thang. I mean, cool concept (lugging half a million tunes on yr belt loop) but where is the space for artwork?

I dislike the idea of nameless, faceless tunes, able to be strung together in a thousand ways...but with no real defined character (as would be the case if they were put together in mix format).

I suppose the "i-Pod-as Garage" concpet works better for me: house them there, arrange them in a particular order, then burn them to disc & slap a piece of Adobe Illustrator generated art onto the jewel case.

I'll have to think about that...(developing)

i'm with you! i don't get the appeal to the i-pod fanaticism. i like the art; i like holding a record or cd or tape in my hand as i listen to it; i like having a record collection like i enjoy having a book collection. having thousands of songs in a tiny box that can be stored anywhere doesn't do it for me.
