I don’t have an iPod, right now I don’t want another piece of technology to tote around with me. I have a Motorola Q. I love it but there are somethings that I want to do with it but I’m not sure quite how. One of them is making playlists.
At any rate, ManagerMom wrote in her most recent post about her iPod having a good shuffle recently. About a week ago, I had to comment to one of my friends that my Q was on a good shuffle of the songs I have on it. Sure, I love Barenaked Ladies, Jack Johnson, Feist and some of the other slower music I have on my phone but they aren’t exactly motivational to running another two miles. Read: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Kanye West. On that day, the Q connected with me and gave me some good music to workout with so I didn’t have to constantly skip to the next one.
Most of the time my Q is stubborn and doesn’t get it right, it goes all live versions of songs and let’s just say more adult contemporary than high NRG music. I’m trying to get playlists on my Q and it’s not very well documented on the Internet that I can find through google or Yahoo!. I’ll post those directions if I figure them out.
I am totally with you on the music selections. I need either a) angry driving rap music or b) angry techno goth rock when I am working out for the most part.
And my ipod was really in a bad place for a while. It was like a teenage girl that had just gotten dumped… all it was giving me was emo rock and girl songs, which I don’t mind, but in mile 7 you need a little something something…
