Lemme first start off by saying I've owned about 5 iPods in my lifetime and I am upgrading/downgrading to the iPod Touch from my 30GB 5G iPod. I say "upgrading/downgrading" because of the significant loss in storage from my iPod 5G but, at the same time I'm getting loads of new and exciting features that the 5G can only dream about doing. That being said... here's what the thread was about:
Now that I have less storage... the iPod Touch has really forced me into thinking about what my absolute favorite music is. I really went through my entire iTunes Library and hand picked my favorite albums and then my favorite singles and realized that I didn't NEED all the other music that I THOUGHT I originally needed. Face it, I've made some bad music purchases that I don't particularly care for so by narrowing it down to my best possible listen-able tracks, I've really IMPROVED my music listening experience and here's why. When I put it on Shuffle (by song) I am 99% guaranteed that I'll like the song that is playing so my Shuffle Sessions will in turn be way more enjoyable. When I get sick of these songs... I've always got a way to bump them with different tracks from my computer.
Has anyone else had this type of experience by upgrading to a smaller iPod? So I guess there ARE good things about the smaller iPod storage of the iPod Touch. I also couldn't be happier with the interface and brand new features. The Touch Screen is also so amazing that I can't believe they didn't have one sooner... it's almost like a dream come true!
