Let's try this again.
All that work and then I let my blog just sit gathering dust for almost two years. It does seem a waste so I am going to give it another try. A few weeks ago I upgraded my prized mp3 player (the tangible incentive for creating this blog) for a Samsung T10 player from Best Buy. I like this style with the touch screen display and it is easy to navigate. It came with a free one month trial membership to the Best Buy Digital Music Store & media manager. I downloaded several albums and have enjoyed listening to them. The trial membership is now up so I am reviewing my options. If anyone reading this has suggestions for other tried and successful avenues of downloading please post them. I have not yet attempted to copy my own CDs.
My only problem so far with this new player is that it does not seem to be compatible with Net Library. While my husband and I were at Best Buy we pulled up PLCMC's website to review the list of compatible players. While the Samsung T10 was not listed we knew that the list was old and the person assisting us said that the T10 was a newer replacement model for another player that was on the list. We felt that if this player was indeed an upgrade it would have at least the same features as the old one so I went ahead and made the purchase. After two unsuccessful attempts to down load audio books from Net Library I'm stumped. I feel like it should work so maybe I am missing a step. The book is listed in my queue on my computer and on my player but it won't play it. I've decided not to exchange the player because I have already grown attached to it and I didn't see anything in the store that I liked as well.
I have to say that despite my journey through Web 2.0 I am still bringing up the rear in the new technology race or in this case the "old" technology race since mp3 downloading has been around a while! I guess my main problem is just finding the time to explore and learn about what I am missing out on. Then again, I guess if I thought I was really missing out I would make the time. I don't know. There's something to ponder. . .
