IPods for idiots

Wednesday, 9th April 2008

It is three years since I last wrote about my iPod.

With the extra sound quality, the iPod is full to capacity so you won’t be able to add tracks of your own, and my one niggle is that the great Louis Armstrong is seriously underrepresented in Past Perfect’s otherwise immaculate catalogue. But for those who feel daunted by technology, this preloaded iPod is a thing of beauty, wonder and unexpected simplicity, packed with music that is truly olden but golden.

You can contact Past Perfect on 01869 325052 or www.pastperfect.com.
