I managed to win a cute little mp3 player at one of my family's xmas games. I was fairly excited about it because I love random little gadgets, even tho I don't really listen to music anymore.

My grand plan was to get some library books on CD and rip them and put them on the mp3 player. That way I can do some extra "reading" while I walk to work.

But I haven't bothered to even see if the library has books on CD. 'Cause I'm lazy like that.

I did test my little player on some mp3s that I had on my handheld... (My handheld will play mp3s, but it no longer has the battery power to play for more than a couple minutes. heh, poor thing, I am also lazy about getting a new battery for it.)

And then I looked through Amazon, since I have a 5$ coupon for mp3s. I happily discovered they have over 600 free mp3s. After looking through through the first few pages, and tediously downloading a couple... I was sadly disapointed about the 600 free mp3s. It was all dance/dj/trance with a few jazz and a couple classical. humph, no "real" songs that I actually recognize.

So, until I get around to ripping some of my CDs, my playlist is currently...
∞ Evanescence, "Bring me to life" and "Going Under"
∞ Moby, "Porcelain"
∞ Mythos, "November"
∞ POD, "Sleeping Awake"
∞ Rob Dougan, "Furious Angels"

Not very long, is it? And I forgot to grab the player this morning on my way to the day job, so I have no idea if the play time will even last the ~20 minute walk. :)
