AKiCiF: Music to Train By

[rolanni]

So! I have a smartphone -- a Droid2 named...nothing, actually. I haven't ever really bonded with phones. I like this one much better than most because -- keyboard! And I can check email from it, and once when I got lost it helpfully guided me home -- no questions, no judging. Also, I can read books on it in a pinch.

In addition to the Droid, I rejoice in the possession of a Nook black-n-white, hight Paladin.

Both of these devices say that I can put music on them. I have a feeling that I will be wanting some music during the upcoming train trip across country, especially in those sections when we'll be doing the Coach thing.

Who can walk me through getting music from CD to -- by preference -- the Droid, or to Paladin?

Abundant Spanish Aunts!

You can put music on them, but playing the music might drain the battery life faster. I don't have experience with those particular devices, so maybe their battery life is longer than I think, or maybe you charge your battery so often that it wouldn't matter, but I thought I'd mention it as a potential drawback.

I use a dedicated MP3 player, the Sansa Fuze, when I want to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, etc.

Extra battery

In case you weren't aware, you can purchase a separate extra battery which can be used to power any of your USB devices. Very handy when sitting in a closed metal tube and you want to base your entertainment choice on the device, not remaining battery life. A versatile travelling companion where power is not universally available.
