Anyway, it did a spectacular job of providing nice background bluegrass music and made the whole evening even better.

JBL makes some that seemed fairly decent. and there are even cheaper travel ones, but they didn't have the case or rechargeable battery. and some really cheap ones will actually drain the ipod battery while it plays.<BR/><BR/>another one i liked was the Altec Lansing IM (in motion?)<BR/><BR/>very small and compact and it sounded fairly decent too.anne frasierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044828332429421657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1156526998748234512006-08-25T10:29:00.000-07:002006-08-25T10:29:00.000-07:00I have time where music helps me write and I have ...I have time where music helps me write and I have other times that it's completely distracting. I never know what kind of day it's going to be until I turn the music on and I thing "ahh, this is nice" or "holy crap, turn it off!" <BR/><BR/>I've actually been looking for speakers in the low price range that sound decent for my ipod. Does it fit all Ipod sizes Anne? I have an OLD 3rd generation ipod (from 2 1/2 years ago.)<BR/><BR/>I find when i'm procrastinating, I can't stop searching blogs and webpages...such a bad habit.Tami Klockauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652939575098493098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1156522383948820212006-08-25T09:13:00.000-07:002006-08-25T09:13:00.000-07:00mai,my laptop is slow too. i wonder if that's my ...mai,<BR/>my laptop is slow too. i wonder if that's my problem -- too many mp3s and photos. hmmm. i don't listen to music much when i'm writing, but now that i have a new battery i plan to try it more. i think the right music could really enhance a scene. and i like your idea of turning it down really low. <BR/><BR/>thanks for stopping by!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1156518355897628342006-08-25T08:05:00.000-07:002006-08-25T08:05:00.000-07:00I love my iPod, especially how much it saves room ...I love my iPod, especially how much it saves room not to buy CDs anymore and you have all your music right there! But of course I have a laptop and all those mp3s slow it down... I need to invest in a desktop for my mp3 and my digital pictures, my laptop just lags with all that on it!<BR/><BR/>I love listening to music when I write, really quietly in the background. Sometimes I get a song that really fits what I'm writing and I just put it on repeat while I'm writing and it just really gets me in the mood for the story.<BR/><BR/>Music's great, enjoy your new iPod gadget!!mai wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570452594754186072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1156517540606858572006-08-25T07:52:00.000-07:002006-08-25T07:52:00.000-07:00sandra, i think it's procrastination on my part to...sandra, i think it's procrastination on my part too!<BR/><BR/>ah, so that's how these guys end up with so many toys.<BR/><BR/>jaye, i would never have gotten an ipod if it hadn't come with my computer. i would have thought my discman was fine. and sometimes i do still think that, because i always bring CDs when i travel so i'll have them for the rental car. too much stuff. i haven't made a total transition. but now even rental cars are ipod ready -- or there another gadget you can get to use the ipod in any car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1156511380286456472006-08-25T06:09:00.000-07:002006-08-25T06:09:00.000-07:00I'm so behind I don't even have an iPod.I'm so behind I don't even have an iPod.Jaye Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407478042834459126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1156472319729608912006-08-24T19:18:00.000-07:002006-08-24T19:18:00.000-07:00It surprises me you post more when you're writing....It surprises me you post more when you're writing.
