Gandalfe, did you see that mix trade Cds are making their way to you?
I believe I did, yes.
And I have Angus's ready to go, I just have to make it to the P.O.
It's all about the coat.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Am I understanding correctly that it just means I have to put iTunes onto my computer and convert my files through that program?
I could probably live with that, as long as it lets me stick in my own CDs and convert them. I'm assuming they're not going to make me pay for and download tracks I already own on CD if I want to put it on the iPod.

You're absolutely correct. iTunes is the best thing that ever happened to you. I've ripped almost half my CD collection at this point. I've got over 11 days of music at hand.

Yes.
And actually, I don't think you even have to use iTunes to copy the files -- you just need to tell it where they are so it can put them in the library for your iPod. I have a ton of stuff I got from Napster or Kazaa on my last computer, that's now in my iPod library.

Thanks for all the answers, everyone! I'm going to go and debate with myself over this deep burning need I feel to own a silly U2 iPod now.

I just reread the blurb Alicia, and the ipod doesn't come pre-loaded with U2 songs. You get a $50 voucher for the itunes store to gotowards the $150 U2 virtual box set. Which seems to be a bit of a rip when you're paying so much for the iPod.

Right, I knew that. I wouldn't be buying the digital box set, because I have just about everything they've put out, and a good load of stuff that never got officially released.
But honestly, $150 for 400 songs? That's a mighty good deal for someone who doesn't have all the U2 CDs already.
Yeah. The extras on this Very Special iPod kind of bite.

Mmm, I'd like the rare stuff, but I wouldn't want 20 mixes of Lemon. The 90's U2 are still dead to me.

Even "Achtung Baby"? Oh man. Sue, you're killing me!
"Zooropa" is one of my least beloved U2 albums, although the title track (at least the second half of it) fills me with much joy. And "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" is just gorgeous.
"Pop" was misunderstood* and underappreciated. The tour was weird, but the album is great.
And the Zoo TV/Zoo Europa tour is just about the best thing ever.
But all the remixes they released to the fan club? God, I loathe those.
- I say misunderstood with some jokiness, but it was unfairly maligned, I think. It's got some really great songs.

I can't even.
Even "Achtung Baby"?
Not Achtung Baby, that stuff is brilliant, some of my favourite of all their work. After that, though, major bleakness.
