To each his own, and an iPod does allow you to keep the
noise to yourself, as opposed to a boombox. But it does
bother me that we seem to be getting to the point that we
cannot have a noiseless venue. Almost anywhere one
goes, there is a speaker blaring, almost as though people
are afraid to be left to their own thoughts or have to converse
with the people around them.

I don't like listening to music when I'm outside -- fishing or skiing or
whatever. The iPod is great in the car, though. Instead of carrying
around a lot of CDs and changing them all the time, everything goes on
the iPod, and you can easily make mixes with only the songs you like. It
can be plugged into a cassette deck or played on an unused FM channel.
