We saw WALL-E again over Thanksgiving and I was reminded at how much I like the Peter Gabriel song, “Down to the Earth<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I don’t have an Ipod.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t use iTunes (yes, I do have a Mac).\u00c2\u00a0 I have not bought any online music, ever, except for ordering CDs every once in awhile from Amazon or Basin Street.<\/p>\n

So I wondered, if I just want the Peter Gabriel song that I like, how can I get this song?\u00c2\u00a0 Where can I listen to it?\u00c2\u00a0 Can I listen to it on my interview recorder (which will play MP3s)?\u00c2\u00a0 If I buy a used Ipod, will it play there, too?\u00c2\u00a0 What if I upgrade the Ipod?\u00c2\u00a0 And what happens when I get a laptop — I’m not going to use only my desktop forever?<\/p>\n

Paul started trying to explain the facts… which are basically that you never own an MP3, the player you use could be obsolete tomorrow, and compatibility is something you determine through fine print.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not really into buying things I don’t need and not at all into re-buying anything ever.\u00c2\u00a0 The whole thing just got me more and more confused.\u00c2\u00a0 Then Paul remembered an xkcd<\/a> cartoon that he said, explained it all very clearly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay.\u00c2\u00a0 NOW I understand.<\/p>\n

What I wonder now is how people use their Ipods, and what experiences with incompatibility have they had?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you have advice or stories on how you enjoy music, where you store it, how much you spend, etc. etc?\u00c2\u00a0 Me, the music Luddite, wants to know.<\/p>\n

And just ’cause I like it, you can hear it here…
