I Did It!!! I Am So Proud!!!

[des1954]

I... the one....the only....

OTTER SPOTTER....

Am now in the 21st century!!!

I converted my CD's to MP3's, set up an I-tunes playlist..... put my MP3's into it, downloaded to my new iPod..... and am now listening to my very all time favorite album of all times..


TOMMY BY THE WHO!!!

This is over the top GREAT!!! And I did it all by myself!!! Woo-Hoo!!!

Gotta go find me the Bose Ear Buds for a decent price - that will make the package complete!!!

[Just Beachy]

Congrats Deb!! When you get a minute, or 45, maybe you can tell me how to do it!! :lmao:

[des1954]

Kelly - I used Ashampoo Music Studio 3 to convert my CD's to MP3's.

I set up Music folders on my C drive to import the MP3 files into. Once I converted some of my favorite albums, I plugged the iPod's USB into the computer & iPod, set up an iTunes account, clicked & drag the music folders over to the iTune, they automatically load into the iPod. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

You will need a separate program such as Ashampoo to convert your CD's. At least that's what I did. You may already have a similar program on your computer.

"She has got the power to heal you, never fear!!" Eyesight to the Blind, Tommy - The Who!!

If you are going to spend the money on Bose, you might as well do the noise canceling headphones. That was the best money I have ever spent!

(I never have had jetlag with those things either!)

Itunes will convert your CD's directly - you don't need another program.

[ntsammy5]

well, whooptie freakin, doo

Shat!!! NOW you tell me!!! Oh well....I learned something anyway. The EIGHTY PAGE instruction manual I downloaded said to convert CD's to MP3's.... I stopped with that & read no further. I'm a "glance & try" person, which sometimes gets me into trouble.

Once I dig out some more CD's, I'll try the direct appoach. Thanks, Jim!

[des1954]

You're a geek. You're expected to know these things. I missed that DNA, but I know which end of a screwdriver to hold. :rotfl:

Thanks, Jen. I still have headset hair from 25 years or so of wearing one. I get the creeps when I think of wearing one again, but I'll give these a gander.

[des1954]

Wait!!! Read on...... coverting to MP3's makes the file size smaller & you can get more on the iPod. There was no degredation of the sound, so if I can get more by converting the files, I guess I will.

[ftwildernessguy]

I never read manuals. There's a reason why they don't provide one with the Nano.

I like Sansa - I never could bring myself to spend the money that Apple wants for their stuff - Bose is a different story though

[3gr8kids]

Congratulations Deb - that's no small feat!!

Because my computer has absolutely no space on the hard drive (can't even save Word documents lately :scared1: ), I'm in the process of trying to organize and save all our pics (4 years worth!) to flashdrives to free up some space. Man oh man, I'm not sure if I'm "taking the scenic route" doing it, but it is VERY time consuming.

Oh well, I guess this will be a lesson to me. From now on I will organize and burn onto a cd or print hardcopies of my pics right when I upload them.

[2goofycampers]

Wonder if it will convert my 8 trax ? :lmao:

Those sound neat. If I ever update my iPod, I'm going to look at those.

They actually make turn table stereos that will convert your vinyl to cd's. After they're converted to cd, they can be loaded into Itunes and onto iPods.

If you keep pumping water into a jug, the jug explodes. I am wondering about all the stuff that enters our head from our ears and eyes. If we don't let some of it go somehow, our heads will explode.

That's why they make toilet paper.....

I'm really starting to worry about it. Now I have a headache and I don't know if it's just normal stress or my head is about to explode.

[PolynesianPixie]

try blowing your nose, Jim.


congrats Deb, I'm impressed!




Geez people....I'm pathetic.....I have no ipod.....waaaaaaa!

I love my iPod!! It's great to carry on trips. I have the 30GB video iPod. I can watch movies while DH drives. ;)

cause we'd get arrested. :lmao:






or run over. :lmao:

[ftwildernessguy]

Okay - I've decided to limit the amount of information I absorb during the day to prevent my head from exploding. When I reach the limit, I'm just gonna go home and go to bed. I think everybody should do the same.

[Born 2 Fish]

I find that my head is near full round 9:PM, or so, every night.

That's what I do!:thumbsup2


BTW - I took your hint Jim. I watched just enough of the 5:00 news to catch the local stuff, and tonite the sad news about the 11 y/o kid who was arrested as an adult for murder. I hope the kid has a good guardian ad litem assigned to him. There has to be more to this story. Anyhow, I digress. <ahem> I turned the station to DirectTV station 833, classic vinyl of the 60's and 70's. I'm all happy and bouncy and not down anymore. I just can't help it!! (That'll make a great tag, won't it?)

Thanks, Jim!

I never noticed that channel before. Thanks for pointing it out to me. :thumbsup2 Good luck getting another tag. The tag fairy still doesn't like me.

Deb...have you figured out a way to play those tunes in your cart? (or do you already have a stereo to plug it directly in??)

[des1954]

Deb...have you figured out a way to play those tunes in your cart? (or do you already have a stereo to plug it directly in??)
We have a stereo system in the cart w/CD player. I wouldn't risk forgetting to un-plug and take iPod with me when I park. I'm old....remember? :laughing:

[BigDaddyRog]

I dont have an official Ipod either...but I do have several mp3 players. My cell phone holds about 1000 songs plus up to 4 gigs of pics...so, music, camera, photo-album, daily planner, voice memo, camera, texter, phone book, phone, etc all in one nifty little 2.5x4.5 package...what a world we live in!!!
"give me a call sometime, or text, or email me, or facebook me, or myspace me, or fax me..."

Oh, and Auntie...stop stomping on the floor to make the old LPs quit sticking and balance a nickel on the player-arm like everyone else!!!! ;)

Amazing...This new fangeled technology...what will they think of next?...:idea:
Thanks for the tip Rog...maybe I will blow the dust off the old black vinyl records after all. Or..what did my kids call them...oh yeah..."really HUGE CD's" !
