50 Free Songs...

Even though I use and love iTunes to get my iPod music, I found this great offer for free songs! It's a great way to fill up your first iPod. Give them a try! It's free to sign up, it's free to get 50 songs and you have 30 days to cancel if you are not satisfied.

50 FREE Downloads from eMusic. No Restrictions - Own Your Music! Unlike some services, you can use these songs on unlimited computers and iPods.

Getting Movies onto your iPod

Here's how I have been putting my movies on my iPod for free. I have not upgraded or purchased any software. The two programs I am using are free online.

I've been ripping my movies with Handbrake and then converting them to iPod format with iSquint. Sorry but this process works on a Mac, I don't think you can use this process on a PC just yet.

Getting a copyrighted movie onto your iPod has been called illegal by some and not so illegal by others. My thought is that I bought the DVD and rather than wanting to watch it on my TV, I want to watch it on my iPod. Is it illegal to watch a DVD movie on my laptop? I do not reburn the movies to blank DVD's or share my movies with others. In my very humble opinion I am not infringing on anyone's copyright. That coming from an online cartoonist/artist that deals with copyright issues all of the time.

Merry Christmas to me!!

Hello All! I must say I had a great Christmas and even went out and bought myself the 30g iPod Video. I loooove it! I also bought a new camcorder and filmed my girls around the house. Within minutes I had those great home movies on my iPod and can now take them anywhere! I also now have Napolean Dynamite and The Goonies and my iPod. Talk about cool. Movies at any time and anywhere.

As of today my wife and I have the Video, Mini, Shuffle and Nano. I have to say that we have found a different use for almost all of them. I'm still partial to my mini for workouts but my wife loves her Nano.

I have to give a shout out to Camilla for all of the great comments. My New Years resolution is to keep my blogs up to date just a little bit more.
