my first CD<\/a> until I went out to California in the Summer of 1995.<\/p>\nSo one day in April, while staring around my office at the thousands of albums on shelves, in boxes and sitting on all of my hard drives it became clear that that I needed an easier way to listen to this music whenever I wanted. \u00c2\u00a0My first idea was to try to come up with some snazzy invention where I can just couple some headphones with one of my terrabyte harddrives lying around and, voila … instant radio station! However, those plans are long-term and still being tweaked around in my invention book . \u00c2\u00a0My desire to finally listen to and analyze my entire Joni Mitchell collection didnt want to wait while my prototype was being built. \u00c2\u00a0Alas, I began the arduous task of researching what mp3 player would be the winner. \u00c2\u00a0It actually wasn’t a difficult decision at all. \u00c2\u00a0I wanted the largest one available on the market. \u00c2\u00a0And fittingly enough, that was the iPod Classic. \u00c2\u00a0I’ll do my music format upgrades slowly, thankyouverymuch!<\/p>\n

<\/a>See, when it comes to change with all things music, I’m always hesitant to jump on the latest greatest thing. \u00c2\u00a0I mean why change something that ain’t broken!\u00c2\u00a0 I never wanted to give up my vinyl and cassette tapes back in the day.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, I didn’t buy my first CD<\/a> until I went out to California in the Summer of 1995.<\/p>\n
