100 Songs That Should Be On Your iPod or Your iPod Is Crrrap

:laughing:


I only have these songs on my iPod so I guess that makes me a failure but I'm ok with that.

I could rename this thread to the slightly more PC "100 Songs I'd Like You to Have on your iPod or your iPod is Conceivably Deficient". Or perhaps "The rab Unleash Your Anger and Spew Forth Vitriol Thread"?

Either way I'm focusing on the positives. This thread has reminded me to get some Robert Johnson and Kris Kristofferson.
 
1) You can't tell the difference between the two media. AAC formatting uses the same encryption that MP3 formatting uses. The key difference being that there's a digital watermark denoting its adherence to Apple's patent.

2) You're wrong, iPoRAB support different media. It's the iTunes program that isn't WMA compatible and that's only because Microsoft won't license it to them. My MediaMonkey player enables me to synchronize with the iPod's operating system fairly efficiently (nor have I had a single problem with it).

3) If you use a third-party OS (like RockBox) you can listen to lossless formats like FLAC on your iPod without much hassle. Something that many other MP3 players' operating systems aren't capable of.

And jackhammer, threaRAB like these are the reason I love this forum so much. It's cheeky and a little snide but I love the title and don't see much reason for offense when the OP just made a fantastic contribution to the forum.
 
I don't think the OP is meant to put anybody down. I just think it's a thinly veiled list of his favorite music. Nothing wrong with that - but a thread may be over the top.
 
I still think an old Zune is money better spent :D

EDIT: Actually I can't really speak for any thing. I don't have an mp3 player, I've only seen a few of them in action. I do plan on getting one eventually when I get the scratch... I tried to buy a CD the other day from a rasta stand and I actually bartered with the guy over 5 dollars. ... it was depressing.

.......And that's why I don't have an iPod.
 
Those things have so many problematic issues with them it's a wonder that Microsoft ever made money on them. My 5th-gen iPod is still going strong after five years and I see no reason to ever upgrade it.
 
It may use the same encryption but a generic MP3 portable player doesn't recognise the files and are therefore unplayable. AAC files work with I tunes and compatible PC based players but MP3 players generally don't play them.

Posting a generic list of the songs we HAVE to have is the sort of topic that you love to rip apart. Just because I don't have those tracks on my MP3 doesn't mean I'm crap and I can argue that a boring cliched list of songs is the reason why I DON'T own a generic piece of hardware and gladly listen to my own collection of tunes that are every bit as good as those tunes even if people don't have the individualism to search for them instead of conforming to conformist cliches.
 
The fuck are you on about?

Unless I'm deeply mistaken, this thread is just a list of songs this guy likes. You can continue playing this role if you want, it's not winning you anything.

Just to clarify I have ZERO of those songs on my iPod.
 
Ohh, I only have the Sam and Dave song, but I've yet to listen to it.
It's not really a list I would be interested in, though.
What made you decide to make this list?
 
Sorry the thread title caused so much controversy, I didn't mean to offend anyone I was just trying to make an eye catching title. You must admit it's hard to take it seriously when you spell crap with three r's. Also I wasn't expecting people to get into it over iPoRAB, I was just too lazy to write generic MP3 portable mass storage listening device.

I was hoping people would talk about the music and/or artists, maybe even submit their own lists that in their opinion are great.

Once again my intention was a little light hearted fun and I apologize for hurt feelings.

Thanks, John
 
The only one that is even in my library is The Clash song. But it's not on my iPod because I only put new music I'm checking out on my iPod since it's an old Nano with only 4 GB...
