So I hear. Doesn't do anything for me though.

Do you have anything cute in your list?

An interesting selection - stereotypical in places and unusual in
others.

God, I feel like someone's grandad. What's a coverflow?

Could you actually focus on them as they went past?

I'm sure you can have one if you ask nicely.

It took me a few goes before I actually realised what was going on.
Then I just assumed that the blurring was the Bombay Sapphire!

A few more have been CDs have been added since I did that Cover Flow
but the quality of Flash Video on Google Video/YouTube is really quite
bad so I haven't bothered to update the clip.

I remember having about 1,500 tracks on my iPod and flicking through
it at work thinking "I haven't got anything to listen to!" A colleage
then said that I must have something to listen to and she giggled at
me. She's got my old iPod now with all of her music on it and on
Thursday said "I haven't got anything to listen to."

You could have swapped iPods and explored each other's tastes.
It sounds like she was flirting. Haven't you come out at work yet?

We have a similar taste in music and have done iPod Swapsies before
but one sometimes gets to the stage where nomatter what music is
playing it's boring.

I never felt the need to 'come out' at work, seeing as I've been 'out'
for over a decade. Coming out suggests that it was a secret in the
first place.

Well, 1500 tracks? Even with a 16GB iTouch there isn't enough room.

What you need is a 160GB iPod Classic...

On my iPod touch I've got, according to iTunes:

3.58 Gb Audio
1.68 Gb Video
19.4 Mb Photos
106.6 Mb Other (web cache, emails, stocks & shares, weather, maps,
etc.)

The audio is 616 songs (MP3 @ 192Kb/sec minimum[1]) which is 1.7 days
without a repeated track.

iTunes by default encodes at 128Kb/sec AAC so if one wanted to squeeze
everything down one could certainly hold about 1,500 tracks.

(checks specs) <http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html> 1,750
128Kb/sec AAC's for the 8Gb model or 3,500 for the 16Gb model.

I flogged my iPod Classic 80Gb to my colleage when I got the iPod
Touch and after thinning down my music collection[1] I've still got
plenty of space left.

[1] I also have several downloaded albums at lower and higher
bitrates, plus a few purchases from iTunes and the iTunes WiFi Music
Store.
[2] When I had the iPod Classic 80Gb I would just rip entire albums
and chuck them on the Classic as it had so much space but when I got
the iPod Touch I discovered the rating system so would have music on
Shuffle and find tracks I'd just skip, so I rated them as 1-star and
when I got home I'd plug it in and let it sync, then delete the track
from iTunes which then removed the track from the Touch when I hit
sync. So now I've pretty much only got the tracks I like from my
albums and rarely skip a track. New album purchases are always thrown
on the iPod Touch and I rate and delete as above to thin them out.
