Like a lot of people, I love music. I listen to it often. But when iPods first hit the scene, I was all: [i]No way Jose. You’re not getting your corporate mind-control hooks in me[/i]. In fact, I bought a handy-dandy mini-disc player (partly out of spite and rebellion), and I loved it. Good quality, good size. Long battery life. I took it everywhere.

Well, a few years have gone by, and as much as I hate to admit it, I finally gave in. Transferring music was becoming increasingly time consuming, so I bought an iPod about a year or so ago, and I have to admit, aside from the occassional spaz attack from my iPod, I dig it. Buying music off of iTunes is easy–especially if I only want one song–and the library is massive (albeit not entirely complete).
I’m not thrilled that you can’t just trade music among iPod users without burning tracks to a disc, but nothing’s perfect.
I’d love to say with that rebellious fire that I rebuffed the mighty iTunes and that I will never submit.
But I no longer do, and I did.
What can I say? I guess iTunes is here to stay, and unless something better comes along, I have joined the fray. I am mind-controlled by iTunes.
