Yep. I already have Musicmatch and am well-familiar with its workings. So I didn't really feel the need for a new system.
Plus, with my student discount, I got the 15 gigger for just $199. Upgraded the headphones and carrying case and my total was still only $240 - $40 less than the base price of the 20 gigger. I already put about 350 hours of music on this bad boy and barely put a dent in the HD space.
I love the blue screen, the layout, the software - the original gripes about not being able to play the full list of tracks and randomize have been taken care of with a software update.
Basically, if you don't pray to the Apple Gods, you may as well get the DJ.
Actually, I was doing that as a nod to Agitator blogger Radley Balko, who posted a couple of weeks ago that he would start signing off "Radley out", just to be annoying.
He figured he would lose friends at an astounding rate. We laughed and poked fun at stupid Ryan Seacrest.
So yeah, a bit roundabout, but it was definitely NOT a nod to Seacrest.

Date: May 21st, 2004 12:27 pm (UTC)Also busy synch'ing my DJ with my playlist, wishing I had a bunch of music that I don't have.
Also trying to write a section of my thesis.
Also missing my boy and wishing I had a job :-)
Otherwise, just dandy!
Are you feeling better?

Date: May 21st, 2004 12:36 pm (UTC)I am feeling much better, but dreading tonight's gig, as I've never been to this place before (and that always spooks me...)
Why are you missing you man? He not around?
Take care.
(BTW, you might get a chuckle out of this... I finally bought a new computer, with a new all-in-one printer... I NOW have a scanner! AGAIN!)
