Secondly the music the I listen to isn't this hard rock boom boom boom music that so many seem to favour. Perhaps as one person on another non-Macintosh list so aptly put it "you're too frigging old to have fun or be fun with..." Guess a half century plus ten is too old. No children, no wife, no grandchildren. Maybe it's better that way. eh? If I want a particular symphony, or similar, I purchase the recording. I don't have an iPod (or think they are necessary) , not do I record selected track or tracks from said music source... It just goes against my grain.
