A new feature called “Coverflow” allows you to flip through your library by viewing the album cover. This is all great just as long as you have an album cover for most of your music, otherwise you’ll be working hard to add it later to stuff that perhaps you didn’t download legally or ripped without album info.

The scrolling wheel is awesome and very responsive. Right now I have about 5700 songs, two full length movies, the first season of Metalocalypse, the first season of Robot Chicken, ATR live DVD, the Pantera DVD thats from the best of cd set, a few various internet videos and some photos and I still have about 50gb left. If you want to rip DVD or even convert videos files to iPod you will need a converting program. They are easy to find on Cnet.com and most are freeware.

The video screen you would think is not big enough to enjoy a movie or video on but its plenty big enough to enjoy that and more. I’ve waited for so long to get a GOOD mp3 player and when I won the iPod Shuffle from work it just made me want a better one. I thought about a Zune but I heard too many undesirable things about it like the fact that it doesn’t run off of Windows Media Player like you would think.

There are other iPods like the iPod Touch but it is much more expensive and only has 8 gb. Sure you can sit there and play, molesting it all days putting grubby fingerprints all over it but in the end you can only put so much on it.

Drawbacks? The shiny chrome backing (although looks really nice) and screen are terrible for attracting fingerprints. I would suggest a nice rubber or plastic cover for it. You can pick up some pretty rugged ones that will help prevent damage and keep it in good shape. One last thing, the more stuff you put on it like any computer or hard drive based electronics, the slower response you get.

Overall I love it! If you’ve got the means…I highly suggest!

For the record, No thats not MY iPod in the picture and I don’t have any Nelly Furtado on my iPod.

I want YOU, the readers to design the cover art. It has to be your own original work.You design the cover art submit it to me and I’ll decide by the end of the month who the winner is and announce it here as always.

A few things it needs to have. It needs be in a perfect square so it can be shrunk down to the size of a cd sleeve. It has to say on it somewhere “MetalMartyr.Com” and “Vol. 2“. It can be hand drawn or done on a PC. Whatever as long as it’s your own work. Make it “METAL” but don’t be too cliche.

There are a few other rules.

1. This contest is only open to US and Canadian residents.
2. All submissions must be Emailed to me by the 22nd of February.
3. It must be in a format that Windows can read.

The winner will be announced on the 29th and will also get a copy of the compilation. Email all submissions to me at the address below with the words “Shuffle Contest” in the subject line. Also make it a reasonable file size. Any questions just email me.

This is a used iPod Shuffle. I have had it since mid December and it has been well taken care of. It comes with all original accessories and in original packaging. It will come packed with all sorts of music already on it.

I cleared out my iPod Shuffle the other day and reloaded it with more variety of music then just all Metal like it was before. In the process I loaded every studio song from the Misfits. The old Misfits. This only took a fraction of my iPod space because as you know Misfits songs are pretty short.

Well these last few days when I’ve been listening in the car on the way to work or where ever, an old favorite (Misfits) song comes on and it reminds me just how much I’ve missed listening to the Misfits. Sure the Misfits aren’t metal and the closest they get to metal is the stuff from American Psycho, but it’s still good heavy, fun music. It’s dirty, raw, and to the point.If you ever want to take a chance and buy a misfits album, go and buy Collection I. This collection has the essentials to get you started to become a fiend. Below are a few of my favorites that are available on songza.com
