I got a new third generation 32GB iPod Touch. At my old 8GB iPod’s tightest point, it held the complete studio works of Simon & Garfunkel, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Blind Faith, Traveling Wilburys, The Rutles, Cream, and The Beatles, not to mention your regular run of the mill albums by Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Jethro Tull. Not bad for an 8GB iPod. With my eventual plans to purchase the Complete Bob Dylan ($200 on iTunes) I knew I would need a bigger iPod.

Here is a break-down of the amounts of different musical groups I have on my new iPod currently:

My new iPod holds the complete studio works of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cream (it also houses the complete live works of Cream), Simon & Garfunkel, The Doors (minus the three post-Jim Morrison albums), The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Nirvana, The Rutles, Traveling Wilburys, and Blind Faith.
Longest song: “Dazed and Confused” (Live Version) – Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains the Same – 29:18
Shortest song: “Charlie Watts’s Introduction of Marianne Faithfull” – The Rolling Stones Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus – six seconds

I hit an iPod landmark today when my order of Sounds of Silence arrived in the mail. My iPod touch is now (basically) full. I have a total of 1134 songs.

Here is a break-down of the amounts of different musical groups I have on my iPod currently:

Notes:
- Some artists overlap, such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney (from A Toot and a Snore in ‘74), but John Lennon is completely separate from the Plastic Ono Band even though he was a member.
- I count “Crosby, Stills, & Nash” and “Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young” as the same band. In my mind, Young is like a guest performer with “Crosby, Stills, & Nash.”

You can compare this graph to the one I made earlier this year after I got twenty-four hours of music, and the one I made several months ago after I got forty-eight hours of music.
Some other interesting facts for my own personal future reference:
Longest song: Thick as a Brick (Part One) – Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick – 22:40
Shortest song: Charlie Watts’s Introduction of Marianne Faithfull – The Rolling Stones Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus – six seconds
Song listened to the most: “Outside Woman Blues” – Cream – listened to it twelve times.

Music iPod Touch

I hit an iPod landmark the other day when I bought The Concert for Bangladesh album. My iPod Touch now holds two solid days of music… if I wanted to, and had nothing else going on, I could listen to music for forty-eight hours non-stop (plus an extra ten minutes, to boot). I have 905 songs that take up 4.39 GB of my 8 GB total.
