I live in Austin and love it. I've lived here since 1999, and I'm a freshman at UT. Perhaps my views are a bit biased since I'm a college guy in a college town; but regardless, we …

You should definitely think about Compton, Ca.

A few thoughts: 1. In these red state/blue state times, I'd live closer to your peeps. 2. Cost of living is an illusion. Where cheaper homes can be found, fewer jobs as well. …

In December 2004, I received my second iPod grudgingly by Apple's service dept. But between then and now, it has acted oddly at times. On three or four occasions, the most recent b…

Now that the shuffle is out and hanging around peoples necks I was wondering what I would do with the headphones when not in use. Looks like I found a hand and cool solution: http…

my shuffle has a silicon case that grips the cord so it works well as a cord minder. i call it a smarter wrap since i didn't waste more money on yet another ipod accessory.

It's a bit bigger and heavier than I would have liked .... ... hang on - have we been here before?

Even better:

The smart wraps have been around for a while. Only problem with them is they can permanently curl your cord. I prefer the Sony ex-71s. I have the white with the extension. With the…

Would you get a 4gb, or a 6gb mini? If you're only filling about 5G, I'd say go with the obvious choice and get a 6G mini. If you don't plan on using the extra 14-16G then why pa…

Between those two, I'd probably go with the 20 gig. Remember that it can be used as a hard drive as well. I just got a 30 gig iPod Photo (up from a 3rd gen 10 gig) and I love it.

How does it work if I want to sync my iPod 20GB with everything, and get a mini for my wife, and just sync her playlist, all on one computer, will I have any sort of problems?

I have a 512MB iPod shuffle, and it doesn't seem to be reporting updated playcounts to iTunes. I just listened to a song in its entirety on the shuffle, and then plugged it in and…

I don't think mine has ever correctly synchronized that info.

The shuffle updates playcounts, but does NOT report the time last played information... b/c it doesn't have a clock.
