Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] IPOD use questions


Steve's thought on a remote for the ipod is excellent.  It keeps the
sound quality at its best.  I keep a copy of my show soundtrack on an
ipod shuffle, the cheapest ipod model.  I still prefer the CD player
as I don't trust the ipod not to fail. My daughter's have all broken
several ipods over the years (though they tended to break lots of
things I manage not to break). I'd worry about having a full charge
ready to go.   Lots of folks are using ipods for their shows and seem
to be happy with the results.  You might want to invest in a backup
ipod shuffle. (though the remote won't work on a shuffle)  Its good to
have something to fall back on.
