I don't have an iPod, and I don't need or want one at the moment.

[karajorma]

I have no gripes with iPods, they may be overpriced, but I'd rather not get called a cheap-ass for having an ipod-rip-offl

So you'd rather pay more for something that isn't as good because you don't have the balls to turn to anyone who would do that and point out that they were dickheads for paying too much?

When those dickheads form the majority, yes 

[karajorma]

Dickheads form the majority in almost everything. I'd rather make up my own mind.

I don't like songs, or better, "music with words". I have been appreciating wordless tracks for many, many years. I started with epic Classical music and ended with game soundtracks, which are IMO the best music in circulation.

Most of the words in songs don't make sense and when they do their intent is drammatically obvious. I also dislike when musicians are compared to poets...

As a general rule, I agree.  Please note, however, that there are exceptions (see: Because It's Mine, from Phantom [not of The Opera, just Phantom]).

Does anybody listen to Mike Oldfield's music here?

Somebody mentioned Finnish music here. What is it?

[Commander Zane]

Alek Szahala is Finnish music.

I started listening to mike oldfield's stuff several weeks ago. I remembered that one ddr song carried away by a moonlight shadow. I ended up downloading the original long version. The original is really good, it's totally taken my eyes off of just wanting to download the remix. I'll check more into his stuff.

The meizu m6 is so much better than an ipod! 35 hour continuous play, a file browsing mode, the UI is very customizable, and the developers of the firmware actually integrate what hints and requests that the users have for future firmware. It also plays movies and so on. Very good product. What's really funny is when people mistake my m6 for an ipod nano. I'm like, do you see the big volume wheel on this thing? Among the m6 being a way superior product, it's also cheaper than similar competing ipods.

I also don't know why people are slaves to music managing software. There's nothing easier than plugging in your mp3 player and treating it like mobile storage and just drag your mp3's on there. I also categorize my music myself mainly by file name. I've found that software that only lets you search for your mp3's via id3 tags is very inaccurate. Most of the time id3 tags are inaccurate.

Yeah! Tubular Bells rocks, Vangelis is cool also. But about music without lyrics, some music with lyrics speak volumes that lyricless music cannot (by that I mean that you can bring your own interpretation to an instrumental, but a SONG has a better chance of conveying what the artist was trying tell to tell you! Granted, at times this is also open to interpretation, but I find trying to uncover that interpretation can be as illuminating as understanding a good Shakespeare play!

What I mean is in some songs, there are far layers than the mere music can portray!

[Pred the Penguin]

Music can also tell way more about how one feels...

Something that can't always be described by words.

I used a $30 MP3 player for years until I got a free Zune. I just use whatever does the minimum of what I need and costs the cheapest. Everyone else listens to ****ing hiphop, rap, and can't get their own ****ing heads around what an amplifier actually does in ****ing electronics class, so they just use last-year's amplifiers to play horrifically bad hip hop and techno-**** through the speakers, and then come up and say "I've got better techno then that" to me while I'm playing my own goddamn music.

F-CK THE MAJORITY because they're all F-CKING IDIOTS.

</rant spawned by me really really hating hiphop music>

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I don't really like hip-hop either...and I almost spelled it as "hip-hip".

[Scooby_Doo]

"hip-hip" is that what their calling grinding now-a-days? 

[S-99]

I don't really listen to all that much. Back in highschool it was nothing but ace of base since i realized that was the only music i ever last listened which at the time last listened to music of choice when i was in 2nd grade. I had the ace of base discography, but got rid of it in favor for metal. Ace of base is very depressing music. Metal is good. Mostly nightwish and sonata arctica though.

I need to get some rob zombie again. He seemed to be a real classic in the scene of american metal.

Ohh come on 

It's an 'Acquired taste'

LOL. That song was great! Totally cheered me up. Very kid friendly too. I found the milk drinking pretty funny as well as the mechanical rodeo pink horse (lol). I watched the whole thing. Quite great actually. I found the russian dancing out of place for a western though given the choreography they were doing. I liked the cute chicks in the video too

Wow, i'll have to send this to my brother to show his friends at work.
