And for those of you like me who have not yet purchased an iPod or mp3 player, you can just download them and listen on your computer, or burn them to CD.

I can't wait to get my iPod now! But, I am buying my wife a diamond necklace for our anniversary, so that'll prevent my iPod purchase for a bit...oh well!

iTunes isn't very good. It's a bare on you PC as it is a RAM hog. You can use Winamp and download a plug in that will allow you to listen to files only playable in iTunes. You can also manage your music through Winamp and transfer tracks to and from your iPod. Honestly, I wouldn't buy the music through iTunes either unless it is some hard to find or exclusive tracks. 128kbps protected AAC files and the "fairplay" rules aren't too much fun for the listening experience.

I would recommend getting the regular iPod (non-color) due to a better value. The iPod Photo really has no purpose other than displaying the song menus in color. The Photo part of the device isn't as cooped up to be. Even a Creative Nomad Zen is a good buy.

The Podcasts are MP3 and not AAC files but to get this content Exclusive to iTunes you may need iTunes to do so. But at least the fairplay in the Apple AAC files are cross platform not like the WM files that if they are protected they wont work on Mac, so what "so" universal about that. And I know people would say but there are more Windows machines than Macs. So? but thats just for another place and Time

Apple last Tuesday killed the iPod Photo to make just one line of "Large" iPods, all in color. Maybe is not you taste bust some people just dont do Windows neither. Is just a matter of taste, and need. Personally i dont change my iPod, just for another one. Even if it comes from HP!

I do not use an iPod, I do not want to be locked into any specific software or locked music files.

I have this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00066EK2W/103-0310512-9195060?_encoding=UTF8&v=glance

It is just a USB device, copy MP3 files from your hard drive and past into the USB drive. Create folders just like on your PC. Fast and easy. Very nice entry level device to see if you like MP3 players.
Rich :wave:

I've heard that this devices are very good.

Has anyone listened to the new Disney podcasts? One of them talks about Club 33 in DL. It says that you can see pictures of it on Disney.com. I can't seem to find anything. Anyone else have any luck?

Here's the picture link: http://disney.go.com/inside/issues/stories/v050308.html

Both of Disney's podcasts are just audio versions of the email newsletter and Disney motion. I was hoping they would be producing something original. Oh well.

Thank you all for your kind words about my podcast. Everyone seems to love it... so I'll keep doing it! :)

I will certainly plug Disney's official podcasts on this week's show. I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, but I'm sure they'll offer exclusive interviews that I don't have a chance of getting. Of course, I will always offer opinions and mention things that Disney definitely won't. ;)

I've downloaded all of your podcasts...listened to about half so far. Great job! :sohappy:

Perhaps Disney will hire me to create some official, entertaining, and informative podcasts! ;) I would like to hear something new out of them as well.

I recently launched a forum on my site for discussions related to my show... for anyone that wants to check it out: http://www.distantcreations.com/insidethemagic/forum

You can add my podcasts to iTunes by dragging the Subscribe link off of the main Inside the Magic page to the Podcast section of iTunes.

And don't forget to listen to my Disney fan podcast, Inside the Magic! :)

http://www.distantcreations.com/insidethemagic

We're on show #12 and have a fabulous prize to give away this week. Hopefully the show will be added to iTunes soon. I've submitted it for their review.

This is the absolute best disney podcast out there. Mousepod's host is a bit boring and he hasnt been consistant with episodes. And i tried the two new ones on iTunes and theyre pretty much just ads. Inside The Magic is pure Disney from an enthusiasts point of view and its got tons of great info.

Thanks a lot! Jesse has his own unique style with his podcast. It covers more general Disney topics. I prefer the current news and rumors related to the parks... especially since I live so close.
