Some time ago, my iPod lost a significant amount of charge potential, seemingly overnight. However, I've not got round to replacing it, what with one thing and another. Instead, I charge it every night, and the limitation has also forced me into a new way of listening.
I used to regularly put my 5,814 tracks on random, pressing the >>| button whenever I heard the intro. of a song I didn't like/know. This is expensive from a battery perspective, as the cache/buffer system becomes redundant due to the unpredictability of what's coming next. Nowadays, I'm more likely to select an artist, a playlist or an album and hear it through, which conserves the battery greatly.
I recently downloaded a compilation of Little Britain from iTunes: almost 2h30m for around $7. This was based on a reminder of its brilliance by my Mum. The problem is the fact that it comes as a single track, but I've listened the once, and it was a true pleasure, both to remember the characters and to appreciate once again that British humour. I'm still shocked that Benny Hill gets airtime on BBC America. Completely forgot that the American version of The Office aired tonight on NBC. Will have to tune in next week to see whether it lives up to its British equivalent.
