what are you talking about? Nobody called them jukeboxes everybody called them MP3 players. Also, what are you talking about that Apple revolutionized songs and not albums? Have you heard about the MP3? Like everybody was using winamp and MP3. Nobody was using albums. I don’t know what you’re talking about literally. We used winamp and we used MP3 and those devices were not called jukebox. Nobody called them jukebox at all they were called MP3 players so since I know you’re from my time, I don’t know why you’re saying this…. also actually. winamp was the first to offer library way before iTunes, and it was way better and way easier to use as well than iTunes. iTunes didn’t even have song scheduling until like 10 years after it was invented.

To answer your question 30:46 Ladies often had maids to help them dress, so having buttons on the left made it easier for a right-handed helper. Also Back in the day, women were expected to ride sidesaddle - having the buttons on the left stopped the wind getting into their shirts as they rode. Also there was another reason If a jacket buttoned right over left, the handle of the sword would be likely to catch in the jacket opening when drawn

iPod shuffle was the best iPod...ever. Honestly. The reliability (I think my first gen shuffle went through the wash like 4 times) and small size was brilliant. It had enough music on it for the day, and was actually easier to navigate than you might think because you could navigate backwards or forwards from the start of the playlist so you were kind of plunked down in the middle of the music and it was pretty easy to get to a specific song you wanted, etc. It was so easy to charge and always have with you, plus had the convenience of being a flash drive which you used to need.

@subliminalvibes 19 дней назад

0:20 - oh man, that iTunes design reminds me of the day I installed it on my PC to see what the fuss was about, and it physically renamed and reorganised my music folders ON MY HDD!! Uninstalled immediately. Took me months to fix that. iTunes couldn't simply create an index of my music, it had to mess with my file structure. Never again, Apple! Never again.

@setoth1234 19 дней назад

That's because you had "keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder" checked under "Advanced" in the preferences. If you'd have known those options were checked by default, and unchecked them before adding your music, then perhaps you'd not have such a bad taste in your mouth from iTunes?

@subliminalvibes 19 дней назад

@@setoth1234 correct! Because those were checked by default it started moving files immediately upon install. I thought it was indexing. After half an hour it was still going but I left it. Luckily I realised something was up after a couple of hours and it had only affected ⅓ of my total music collection. (approx ten gigs) My only fault there was trying iTunes. Windows explorer for me. Double click, starts playing in Winamp (with amazing visuals library). Right-click a whole album folder and I can 'queue in Winamp'... iTunes, no control, nefarious coding, rubbish repetitive visuals. Illogical.

The OG Shuffle was my second iPod, after the 3rd Gen which I still own and occasionally use (strapped to power, battery long dead). You’re right, that first gen Shuffle was barely much more than a straight USB stick and so was a no brainer, very useful both for keeping files and a bit of music at hand where even a full size iPod was a bit big or a bit too much of a security risk. My Shuffle even survived a few trips through the washing machine, lol!

@JeffreyJakucyk 18 дней назад

I have a 4th gen Shuffle, and my main complaint is that the square form factor makes it nearly impossible to tell which buttons you're pressing by feel. Not that it would be a lot easier with the 2nd generation, but at least you'd have a chance of knowing "oh I'm on the long side so that's volume up/down rather than back/forward." I used the Shuffle while biking and often hit the wrong button because of that. The other problem with the square form factor is that you can't squeeze the clip without also pressing the back button. Form over function IMO.

Man talking about the shuffles brings back memories. I worked at an Apple store from late '08 thru beginning of '11 and there was always something endearing about these weird shuffles. The third gen at one point was $50. When people came in to buy just the basic apple remote headphones which were $30 we'd be like "Hey, for a little more you can get a WHOLE iPOD..." It felt weird when you contextualized it in that way you're either paying $20 for an iPod or (the reality) VASTLY overpaying for some basic ass headphones. Also with all the different colors the amount of backroom inventory/PLU's to deal with was maddening. I felt bad for our inventory folks when they added colors. We also had a whole training and protocol about how to deal with knockoffs - because legitimately sometimes people would come in with them thinking they were legit not knowing any better.

My first iPad was the original shuffle. 512MB. Just enough music for an 8 hr road trip to not hear a song on repeat. It sat nicely in the slot for the hand brake in my car and the headphone jack went into an FM transmitter in the cigarette lighter slot. Felt like a king, even though I was unaware of the quality of the experience on headphones. Still have one of the last shuffles sitting on the shelf. Might pull it out today to see what I was listening to when it was last used.
