Some people have recently labelled me as a Mac lover. To tell the truth, I’m more of an iPod lover, but that tiny little device is quickly turning me into a Mac lover.

I’ve been a proud iPod owner for about three and a half months and the most amazing thing is that the iPod, while being a convenient device always reminds me of how awesome it is. One of the great features is the ability to play audiobooks from Audible. I’ve been enjoying listening to a myriad of books as well as getting the Wall Street Journal audio digest every morning for my drive into work.Aside from the cool audiobook feature, I have decided that the smart playlist feature is perhaps the coolest feature, aside from containing my entire CD library. Smart playlists allow me to customize my music listening in ways that I never thought possible. My favorite way to listen is a playlist that I have called “Unplayed.” That playlist contains all of the songs that I have not yet listened to on my iPod. Every time I listen to a song, it is automatically removed from the playlist. So, through the smart playlists, I can make sure that I have actually listened to everything on my iPod.

To tell the truth, I really am an Apple lover. I have always been fascinated by the way that the company comes out with products, their packaging and their innovative designs. To me, the iPod is a personification of all three.
