My Ipod

My Ipod. Is a blue fourth generation. 16GB  I bought it to replace a 4GB Third generation that my company bought for me when I was full time. I have 13.7 gigs filled with music, cover art and just the standard games.

These are my playlists:

                           Fattburger

Playing Now: Trail of Tears-Fattburger.com. I have 57 Fattburger songs on my Ipod. I went through A smooth Jazz period in the mid 90's. Now I use that playlist when I happen to work an event that needs light jazz.
