The Next Step To An MP3 Player

I bought an MP3 player. I know most people in the world have already changed to them. Only I hadn’t.

Funny thing is, I was one of the last people to own a cd player when I was a kid. Now I am one of the last people to own an MP3 player. And it’s not even a name brand.

The MP3 player I’m buying is the white one to the left. The black was not an option when I purchased it yesterday. Click on the image and you can see the page where I bought it at overstock.com.

It only cost me $39.99, which I think isn’t too bad. I didn’t even have to pay for shipping because it was free. I think Overstock was having some deal of some sort with the free shipping. Either way, it was kind of nice not having to pay the extra shipping cost. It can be a bit pricey depending on where you go through.

Some of the cool things my new MP3 player will be coming with:

  • Digital Voice Recording
  • Built-in FM Radio
  • Built-in 1GB flash memory
  • Playing Time: Over 8 Hours (Continuously)
  • Erase-and-write Cycle: Over 100,000 Times
  • Professional Stereo Earphones
  • Travelers Power Adaptor

That’s just a few of the things that stuck out to me. In particular is the thing I bolded. Many of the MP3 players I’ve seen I found out through a friend will not allow you to delete any of the songs. So the song will stay on your MP3 player permanently. This one will allow me to delete a song if I don’t like it, at least. Or if I want to delete a few songs so I can upload some new songs.


GoodSearch: You Search...We Give!
Also, while I’m thinking about it, I wrote about a new search engine that’s run by yahoo that will donate to the charity of your choice for using it. If you go to one of their participating stores, the store will also donate to that charity a percentage of what you spend. I support the Franklin Learning Center which is an alternative high school, a school where if you have a child, you can still finish high school because they offer daycare for those people. It’s also adult education, my mom went there. And we can’t forget the preschool they also have. If it wasn’t for Franklin, many people like me wouldn’t have been able to finish high school and so I find them to be the place I would like to see money get donated to. If you’d like to check out GoodSearch, click the image to the right. If I was Martha Stewart, I’d have to say it was a “good thing.”  I hope you’ll consider changing your search engine to use this.  Anyway, if you’d ever considered donating to a charity, but couldn’t afford it, this is a great way to do that without it having to cost you anything.  Just a little change.

I would like to note that if you make a bunch of searches on there that are just your attempt at raising the amount your charity earns, not legit attempts to find information, it can cause your charity to be unlisted.  So make sure you search responsibly.

Haha, that almost sounded like a drinking campaign.  Anyway, I need to get going.  I’ve got more than enough to get done today.  Have a great day everyone.
