I HAVE 3 IPODS

I have three iPods.

THE NANO

It was my first one. It's 16gb and it doesn't hold my entire iTunes library. I use this iPod at home,  mostly for sleeping. My most played playlist is the instrumental praise and worship. There's about 40 songs, soft, nice, inspirational. Kinda like dinner music, only sleepier.

Don't ask me why but I'm still loving "Ziggy Stardust", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Ram". These are my three all-time favourite albums.

On the Christian side I love the Corum Deo worship albums, arranged by Charlie Peacock.

When company is over I'll choose between two playlists. "Christian soft" are all ballads. I play this alot when we have company. It's a good mix, but nothing too upbeat. "Mainstream soft" is the same idea, only it excludes Christian selections.


THE SHUFFLE

I like it coz it's small and clips on to my shirt at the gym. Because of the smaller memory size, I carry two playlists - "New Country" and "Hot New Songs".

Yes, I admit I am absolutely hooked on country!  This is way outside of my personality! I'm loving Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, Dean Brody, Jason Blaine....! I don't know what's happening to me! When I'm on vacation, I don't listen to LIFE 100.3 -this is what I listen to!

The downside of the Shuffle is that, it shuffles songs, but it doesn't go thru the entire playlist before repeating - it just starts repeating, so I'm constantly forwarding to the next song - "arrrrg - heard that one already!"

THE IPHONE

Almost the entire iTunes library. It's all here. 70's secular Cancon, Christian variety, Christian hiphop, Classic Rock, Country, Loud (3SN screamo), 70's New Wave and - "Hot New Music" which would be new releases, both Christian and mainstream.

I only use the iPhone/iPod at the gym. The downside is that I get incoming text and facebook messages while I'm trying to workout. But the variety of songs is (probably) worth the interruptions.

THE RADIO

Having endorsed my iPod abundantly, I should also say, 50% of the time I'm listening to a radio app. Sometimes I'll listen to LIFE but mostly I listen to WAY-FM, where I used to work in Nashville. It's Christian music which I love and I get to hear how another station mixes it up.

Today, I left my iPod in my gym locker and guess what - !  They play really bad satellite music in the gym!  Don't leave home without your iPod!
