Player Collectable Vintage
I work alone and like to listen to music. Thinking of buying an IPod-?
I need to move around with hands free while I listen to music. My CD player stopped working when I moved the stereo to other side of work studio.
Do you recommend buying an IPod?
How do you download music into an IPod?
Can I download my current collection of CDs into an IPod through my computer? If not, how do you do it?
Thanks to all for the patience with my questions! When I was a teenager we listened to vinyl 45s or 35 LPs,now considered vintage collectibles. People would carry their collections of 45s to each others parties.
My taste in music has moved along with the times somewhat though with interest mostly though the influence of my kids.
For what you are looking for, an iPod or other media player would be a perfect fit. The first thing that you need to do is decide if you like iTunes or not. Download iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes... it's free. The reason you need to like iTunes is because it is the only software that syncs with iPods (out of the box).
Use iTunes to take music from a CD and put it on your computer. This process is called "ripping" the CD. When you have iTunes open, and a CD in your computer's CD drive, the name of the Album will be on the left of the application window. Click on that name, and the track list will show up in the main section of the window. Down at the bottom, there will be a button that says, "Import CD". Click that, and about a minute later, it will be in your music library, which is music files stored on your computer.
See how you like this process, and how you like the iTunes interface. I love it, some other people really hate it. It's all preference, really. Play music using it, and poke around in the iTunes Store.
After you decide that you like iTunes, move on to the iPod. If you know of anyone who has one ask them to show it to you, or go to a store near you that sells them, and ask if you can use one. If you live near an Apple Retail store (find out at www.apple.com/retail), you can play with every model of iPod available, shop for accessories, and they'll have people that can answer even the most simple questions. See how you like it. Listen to music on it, use the click-wheel, get an overall feel for it.
The last thing you'll need to do is to decide how much music you're going to want to put on your iPod. Some people like to put all of their music on them, others like to just take a selection. For some people with small amounts of music (doesn't sound like you), they don't even need to consider a larger iPod. Right now, iPods come in 2, 4, 8, 16, 80 & 160 gigabyte configurations. Those fit various amounts of songs... anywhere from about 240 to 40,000 songs. From $79-349. Check www.apple.com/itunes for more details about the different iPods.
In my opinion, iPods are the best media players available. They're simple, small, and priced competitively. Another great thing about iPods and other media players is that many of them play and store video, as well.
I hope this answers your questions. My best advice is to play around with iTunes and an iPod if you can get your hands on one. Good luck!

Vintage Guitars as an Investment
Every guitar player that has ever been born lives for the day when he/she can pick up a vintage guitar. Vintage guitars are available in all major manufacturers and brands. But it's not only musicians and guitar enthusiasts that are attracted to these masterpieces. Vintage guitars can also be viewed as an investment.
You're probably saying to yourself right now "How can a guitar be an investment?", "Is buying a vintage guitar really a good investment?" Allow me to enlighten you a little. To the untrained eye, a guitar is a guitar. Now we aren't talking about the walls of instruments you see at Guitar Center or Sam Ash. We are talking about those special few extraordinary guitars that just scream to be torn into.
Guitars are a great investment for a few reasons. First, they are beautiful and command a room where they are displayed. Second, vintage guitars don't depreciate or lose value with time. On the contrary, these babies appreciate and gain value as they age, especially if they are kept up nicely. Third, they have superior tonality and action when played due to the quality workmanship that went into their construction.
Undoubtedly, the most popular is the Les Paul by Gibson. This guitar carries the name of the man who invented the solid body electric guitar. In the 1960's, the Les Paul was just about THE choice of instrument. These are still made today, but the older ones were made of superior materials like mahogany and oak. Some even had gold frets and mother of pearl inlays on the fret board.
Fender also has a stranglehold on a couple of highly sought after guitars, especially the Stratocaster, the Telecaster and the Thunderbird. These were favorites among blues and rock players alike. Again, the ones everybody wants were made in the 1950's and 1960's.
Certainly among the reigning Kings of vintage guitars are those made by the CF Martin company. Martin emigrated here from Europe in the late 19th century and set up shop in New York. The craftsmanship he imparted is not only extraordinary. It is absolutely earth shattering. Martin pioneered the X-bracing system for acoustic guitars adding years to the longevity of the instruments he made. Many Martin's are still in use at nearly 100 years old!
Guild is another vintage guitar that is vastly overlooked these days. Guild was only in operation for about 25 years and was bought by Fender in the 1990's. Some of the older Guild guitars are extremely rare and sought after as they exhibited the same quality as the Martin instruments of the same time period.
Every one of these guitar manufacturers has made an exceptional line of guitars. Players like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark and Les Paul have chosen them time and time again as their guitar of choice.
When bought as an investment, the vintage ones hold the possibility of giving a fantastic ROI (return on investment).
