Good iGizmo
So I took the new iGizmo to work today to fill it up with music (since most of my digital music lives there). I dumped my entire work playlist on there and barely managed to fill it halfway. What do people do with the full-size iGizmos, I ask you?
(Okay, podcasts. I can see where they’d start to pile up.)
Late in the afternoon, I finished culling out all the rights-cleared material from the huge pile o’ stuff handed to me for the repository a while back, and I zipped it all to take it home on my key drive so I can work on the metadata while I’m out conferencing.
1.76 GB. Huh. That sure ain’t goin’ on no key drive. gzip -9 didn’t do much better.
Then I cast a speculative eye at the iGizmo sitting docilely beside Trogool the iMac on my desk. Can’t you use those things to…
Yes, yes you can, and the files now reside on Nova the PowerBook, all ready to go. I hereby declare that the iGizmo has earned its keep. I didn’t even have to delete any music!
I’m looking forward to having it with me tomorrow. As You Know Bob, I don’t like flying. I have historically preferred flights with available audio, since distraction is helpful. Familiar audio can only be better still.
