I'm a gadget guy. Periodically, I get all into a tizzy about the latest and greatest gizmo out there that I just have to preach about it. Lately, it's my MP3 player that's got me worked up. It's so gosh darn small and ergonomically perfect for my running sessions. Teamed up with a beautiful set of earplug-style headphones, I fall into this Calgon-take-me-away state (i.e., 'nirvana' for you newer whipper snappers) where happiness is all that exists.
But the bread and butter of this wonderful sound comes from my relatively small but growing MP3 collection, which I've been fortunate to experience via MusicMatch On Demand (or Rhapsody) and recorded using Replay Music. ("Free music?" you ask. Well, the subscription isn't, but the songs are. And the recordings are legal, according to Replay's FAQ's.) The net cost of each song turns out to be only pennies, although it really depends on the number of recordings.
So enough about this shameless plug. If you love music, at least try the free trial periods. Having access to an entire CD store on your desktop is quite nifty. Any artist, any album, any song, any time. Sweetness, huh.*
