Apple Event 1st Of September

Why is everything becoming touchscreen? I really don't like the new Ipod because of teh touchscreen. I feel that the screen gets too dirty with finger marks also if it is in your pocket without the lock being on it will cause havoc -.-

Touch screen is great if it is done properly. Unless you have a dirty job such as a mechanic/builder/farmer etc then you shouldn't really have a problem with the screen getting dirty unless you never wash your hands? And I never have a problem with things getting pressed because usually with touchscreen technology they implement ways of locking it fast and easily.

To be honest, using an mp3 player as the source of music at any event like a wedding is dreadful, the controls tend to be a downfall, but some people seem to manage to navigate an mp3 player, or be clever and make a playlist Apparently MP3 players have replaced alot of DJs at personal events like weddings because of the recession. There's some eco-science behind all this

I don't DJ with an iPod - however I do use an ipod as a form of backup as well as an external - handy if your PC breaks.

But when on holiday lets say - I want quite a lot of music with me - you can get bored easily of the same tracks.

iPod classics are pretty good for MP3 DJs if they don't want to use a computer (you dock them with decks)

Genuine concern Hayley, although I think Apple knows what they're doing with their touch enabled devices these days. I'm happy to report most of their devices only rarely show off any fingerprints with usage.

So when you are on holiday you listen to over 525 hours of music?

I don't think that's the point though, I can fill my phone up with loads of music I love and still want to listen to something else sometimes, thank god for Spotify mobile eh?

Oh I know, but the way he put it is he likes loads of music so he doesn't have to listen to the same song twice.

Which isn't going to happen :L

Can't he be spontaneous? He doesn't have to plan x amount of hours of music to listen to

I'd just like to have more choice.

Plus due to the size of my music library it would be quite time consuming to select the tracks I like and the tracks I'm nto as keen on - its a lot easier to just whack it all on.
