just a little green bundle of awesomeness.

I keep forgetting to mention it, but the new Nano arrived last Monday. LOVE IT. Also, I love iTunes 7. I was hesitant to upgrade at first (we fear change), but it's soo much nicer than the old version. You should go download it right now.

Anyway, I've been using Lucy everywhere for about a week now, and I am thoroughly satisfied. The long battery life, the teeny-tiny size, the green-ness...and going from 6GB capacity to 4GB hasn't been a problem so far, either. As I kind of suspected, I had a lot of crap on my Mini that I never used. My "Songs I Never Listen To" playlist was bigger than my "Stuff I Like" playlist*. It's nice to start with a clean slate. Currently, I'm only using about half of what Lucy can hold, and that's including some pretty hefty audiobooks. So, thumbs up. :)

*yes, these are actual playlists. "Songs I Never Listen To" is a smart playlist, which takes the 100 least-played files on the iPod. That way, when I'm feeling bored with the music I like, I can listen to the music I've forgotten about.
