Life’s Soundtrack

Jenny asks

So what are you doing to help the iPod*-owning-soccer-moms in your community? Are you thinking that far ahead? As a profession, we’d better start figuring out how to circulate digital music files to patron players.

As of last week, the Big Sister is playing soccer, so that officially makes us soccer parents. And as of Sunday, D has a pink iPod Mini. I suppose this makes us the exact patrons to whom Mahopac Library needs to cater. After all, the girls are already there twice a week for story time and such.

Meanwhile, Y! Music has launched some sort of thing that I’m not too interested in, seeing as how it doesn’t use any of my equipment, and This Sort of Thing is not welcome on the Company’s equipment. They’re welcome to use all the DRM they want: I hope it costs them an arm and a leg.

* the iPod is an MP3 player.
