THE APPLE IPOD
They have many models, I purchased a Nano Ipod for $125 two years ago. It is not difficult to use. I loved the unit I would recommend it to anyone who loves music.
Why? I’m glad you asked.
Features that I love:
1-This little unit which I can hold in the palm of my hand is able to store about 700 songs. The unit can store and play videos and programs like the Bible, photos and games. The Ipod Classic has 160GB, my Nano has 8GB.
You will find more information here.

Songs that my Technics friends have recorder are on my Ipod. My music library is always with me. I use it when exercising in the gym, in my home and in my car it plays through the radio.
3-The songs are arranged using the computer with the Itunes program, free it is part of the package. All the songs are placed on a main list. From this main list a playlist can be made.
Examples:
Recently played.
Recently added.
I have created a list for:
Songs my friends have recorded.
Songs that I have recorded on my Kn7 and the Tyros.
My vocal songs.
My Christian songs.
My sequences that I use for back tracks.
The list is limited by my imagination. Each list can be deleted or edited.
4-Information (Songs) can be added to the list in many ways. The Ipod uses MP3 and MP4 (Video). Place a CD in my computer and Itunes asks me if I wish to add the songs to the main list.
5-I can select a group of songs that are the best of the best and record a CD. Or place them on Box.net which is my share site.
6- You can use headphones or any amplifying system to play the songs.
My only reason for posting this subject is because I so enjoy having all my music with me anywhere I go. I have a 200 CD player which is no longer being used. My CDs are no longer in racks being displayed, they are all in this small Ipod in my hand. I just added a small Alsess mixer that will record everything I play directly to my Ipod. The Ipod can be plugged in the Line In imputes of the Kn7 for listening or the Microphone impute for more volume.
My Ipod has added to my keyboard enjoyment and my music enjoyment, it is worth a look-see.
Isn’t music fantastic?
