Vinyl Meet Digital

USBTurntableAt my house Christmas isn’t Christmas until we hear the album by Walter Brennan with the song “Snow” on it. That is our favorite Christmas Album. Around Christmas is when we take the albums out and play them non stop. That is great but they won’t last forever so I’d like to preserve them and I think I’ve found the device that will do the trick. The FirstStreet USB Turntable allows you to connect the turntable to your computer, play your albums and record them to digital formats like MP3. A while back my sister recorded everything to CD which was great but I think that with the technology available today we can do one better. Sure, an iPod by the fire isn’t as rustic as an old turntable but setting a Christmas playlist up and hitting shuffle will sound awesome.

iTunes Movie Rentals

I rented my 1st movie from iTunes on the 13th. I thought I could transfer it to my iPod classic but apparently I could not. I was disappointed to say the least. Today I connected my iPod Touch to the computer and set it up for the 1st time ever. This is a sweet product. I received it from coComment for integrating my blogs with the coComment system for my comments. I do a full on review of the iPod Touch as soon as I play around with it.

The movie rental. When I connected the iPod Touch and began syncing a few things. Some podcasts, some music and a few other things (it is only 8GB so I had to pick and choose, so far for size I still like the classic.) I was also able to transfer the rented movie to the iPod Touch. So I did. Then I went and upgraded the iPod Touch software and lost the movie. I contacted iTunes and within minutes they helped me get the movie back. That is the kind of customer service that makes me take notice. I was very impressed.
