  3. Literally can do this, in many different ways. But also, not doing both is pure madness.

    You're not a teammate on my team

    The worst part is that in a few years the batteries will balloon out and no one will be able to repair them.

    which equals to a few years of streaming service monthly payment lol

    if you bought (2) ipods, that is after tax $432.33. That is 43 months, or ~3.5 years worth of a $9.99 apple music subscription.

    I’d rather spend the money on owning the music I want and storing it on a hard drive than renting it for 10 bucks a month for 3 and a half years haha. And then I don’t have to drain my phone battery to listen to it:shrug:

    Or do what I do, pay for the annual subscription with a $100 Apple gift card you get from Costco for $80 during the holidays.

    Streaming has changed my life and there’s no going back but I do think there’s something endearing about picking up a couple iPods just to have. May be inconvenient and ultimately cost inefficient but nothing wrong with having a spare of something that does it’s job very well.

    in an unrelated matter, I recently changed my Verizon limited data plan from to an unlimited plan and the new (what I presume is) peak hour throttling renders data service nearly unusable at most times of the day, including sometimes for music.

    David just say something about how iPods turn you on and we’ll all just chalk this madness up to David just being horny again. Sexy iPods make more sense than the current rationale you’re using.
