Letters
To The Editor – Apple iPOD
My
friend and colleague, former IBM Vice president and current
consultant, speaker, and expert on things Internet John Patrick
comments on my remarks on the new $99 Apple iPod:
Amy, I enjoyed your
"opinions" as usual. With regard to your comment
"I don’t understand the notion of it playing songs in
random order", I have to say that is one thing I like the
most about the iTunes and iPod mini. I am constantly getting new
music. A little opera and then some rock, then bluegrass,
Mozart, etc. Make for nice variety in listening. You might enjoy
a piece I wrote about this.....http://patrickweb.com/itrike

John, your comments were
delightful – and instructive.
I’m probably way too structured for that!
Or maybe too controlling.
But, of course, if I’m picking all the music that’s
loading on the device, why should I care which song plays next?
Amy
Amy, the magic is that
you listen to a song and you rate it immediately so your
collection keeps getting better and better. Not like somebody
else telling you that if you bought x you will like y. You
yourself say, I like this or I don't.
John
