I love my mp3 player. I like the way the vast availability of digitized music is funneled to my ears efficiently and endlessly through that little piece of electronics. I enjoy the image of recorded music as water. I fill up my canteen and drink. “Random All Play” is the setting I use most on my Creative Zen Micro 6GB player. Sometimes I’ll listen to an “album” but generally it’s more fun to shuffle the whole pile. And every couple weeks or so I delete the albums/folders I’ve had my fill of and replace them with fresh music. During the last couple years, since I got my Zen Micro I guess, and since I’ve started really getting into music on the net (Pandora, Seeqpod, MySpace, downloads, etc.), I’ve delved into many subgenres and scenes in the history of music. It’s so great to be able to read as much as you’d like about a particular type of music or group of bands or whatever and at the same time be able to listen to the music itself (and watch related videos), all free. MP3 blogs are a great source, as is Wikipedia and All Music Guide. ETC.
