Save your, and my, sanity. Get a Free iPod now!! Read on:All of you who saw my post from the other day, read about my fascination with audio books being broadcast out in weekly installments through iTunes. I am now addicted to it, and can not get enough. iTunes grabs each installment for me when the authors make them available and all I have to do is throw them on my mp3 player and go. Very cool.
One problem. I have an older mp3 player, that's not the problem though. I like it, very much. It works great, as long as I can transfer my content onto it that is. You see, ever since we've had theDog, we've had to watch him every minute of every day. He's a puppy, and as puppy's like to do, he like to chew things. Nothing in particular, chords and papers mainly. Take my mp3 transfer cable for example. He managed to get ahold of it and put a hole through the plastic housing of the side that connects into my mp3 player.
I now have a morning ritual that goes something like this:
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, file transfers, select another file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
Connect mp3 player, select file, transfer, file transfers, select another file, transfer, nothing happens, unplug cable.
etc, etc.
As you may be able to guess, this process frustrates me to no end. There are several solutions to this problem, mind you. I could do any of the following, and this frustration would be over, until theDog decided to chew through whatever solution I choose that is:
- Buy a new usb transfer cable
- Buy a new 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone adapter and transfer my files to my iPaq instead of my mp3 player. (I lost that in theMove somewhere).
- Beg all of you nice folks to sign up and help me get that Free iPod I've been wanting
I realize that #3 may not be the most rational choice, but that would be my preference, so feel free to sign up and help me acheive that Free iPod. Not only would you be helping me get something I've always wanted...but you'd be saving my sanity in the process.
