Shadow wrote: Haha...that's funny. I don't listen to albums; I listen to songs. What I mean is this--there are very few (maybe one or two) albums that I like every song. That's extremely rare. I'll pick the songs that I like off an album and put them into my music collection. Usually, that's three or four songs out of the entire album. I have three Neil Young songs in my collection: Cinnamon Girl, Old Man, and Heart of Gold.
All three Neil Young songs you list are excellent, but there are tons more great ones. I prefer artists where I like pretty much everything they put out. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Winter are my big three in non-classical.

I have a couple Coby 4GB players where the batteries last about 25-30 hours.

A case for CDs: I just bought a copy of Haydn's Mass in F Minor and Mass in C Major today used for $5. It turns out it was recorded Trinity Church, Wall Street. Then I see a photo of the church with the World Trade Center looming over it in the immediate background. Reading the liner notes, the organist of the church tells the story of 911 and how people took refuge in the church. You don't get that information in a download.

I've never had a problem with shuffle on my ipods and iphones over the years. I'm also not a huge fan of streaming music (over data, not bluetooth) because I would end up burning through my monthly data far too quickly. Bluetooth streaming to the Fiesta works well enough, though there are a few quirks here and there because of the slightly silly controls that Sync/the Fiesta radio have together.

Do you find yourself cursing at Mrs. Sync when she refuses to understand what you're saying?

Only on SS can an FYI thread about a price increase at Amazon turn into a discussion about the death of CDs and streaming music on Ford SYNC. :lol:

I was just about to post a nearly identical comment, six.

We have a tendency to have multi-page threads about seemingly the shortest of subjects. That's because we get off on a tangent. All. The. Time.

That's why I stick around here. :lol:

:lol: let's see, what else can we talk about? We hardly even discussed the original subject. Who's guilty for taking us off track this time? :evil:

I always thought "Off on a Comet" was an interesting derivative.
