Jewel Returns to Folk Roots on 'Picking Up the Pieces' Album

My Ipod classic got washed in the washing machine.

Was like losing a friend.

My Ipod classic got washed in the washing machine.

Was like losing a friend.

 

I can imagine. An expensive friend, at that!

But did it not just come back out as a Nano?

[Garf]

I have an older Nano that's only 8GB. I just use it more now. Not the same as my old 80GB pal that had everything on it. 

I'll probably get a shiny new Ipod of some sort here before long.

Why wouldn't you just put all your music in your phone?

[Garf]

I have some on my phone but my car has an old iPod hookup. I could just plug the Classic in there and forget about it. It charged there and I always had all of my 3000ish songs at my fingertips in my car. First world problem, I know.

Why wouldn't you just put all your music in your phone?

Because it's a phone.   This is probably just me being weird again.  A phone is a phone.  I use it for contacts, texting, and sometimes a camera.

I feel old.

I use my iPod classic every day as well.  I hate the latest version of ITunes, but other than the iPod, I'm not an Apple fan

[Javo]

I don't even have an I-pod, totally zero music on my phone, and just a littlebit on my computer (angelfood and stuff like that). Everything on CD or vinyl. I bring cd's to my car and take them out again. People in my country think I live in a cage and go hunting every day...
My 2 stepsons say I have a pretty cool collection, what they really mean is: you're just an  old fool...

I bought a MP3-player once...it is still in it's case plasticwrapped.

I just like having stuff in my hands to much, and  I spend a lot of time on my collection (organizing, putting in a database, etc) and I would like to digitalize it also, but I never feel like starting, so much work.
I bought myself a 300cd-disc-changer, I put in most of my cd-singles and it's a sort of jukebox now, digitalizing my collection is postponed by buying that device.

I'm exactly the same. I like to compartmentalise things when it comes to technology, and really don't like the concept of an 'everything machine'.

I'm also really into my music, so as far as the iPod goes, I like having a standalone device that I can use without the distraction of calls, texts, and apps. My iPod Classic has lasted nearly a decade, and I must have switched phones at least four times during the same period, so I wouldn't fancy transferring over 3,500 songs to the new phone every time.

Also, my iPhone has such poor battery life as it is, I dread to think what would happen if I started playing music on it for a couple of hours a day.

I put it all on my computer and use Google Play to listen to it on most my devices. Easy way to keep it all in one place

[Jessica]

Everything on CD or vinyl.

Wow! Still going strong, too.  That's impressive!

I stayed off the mp3 revolution for a long time.  I probably never would have gotten into it had it not been for bootleg live recordings and...

Yaaasss!  This!  I got an account with google play when it was still in beta testing and I loved it!  It shrinks the quality down a bit, so I still keep some of my favorite files stored on the phone, but otherwise, this service is amazing!  I've already used it to recover lost files, too.

I still have stacks and stacks of CDs.  I finally just got rid of all my old cassette tapes just to find out they're finally getting popular again. 

Jewel was giving a cassette tape away in her store and I can't remember which one it was or why.  I kinda wanted it, but my tape player broke a few years back and I never replaced it.  Hence why I got rid of all my tapes!

[Garf]

The majority of my music I have on the computer, on an external hard drive and on CDs because I'm weird like that.   

I have even burned many live shows on a CD just in case of a simultaneous computer external hard drive crash. I think I have a problem.

[Javo]

I still have to burn some live shows on cd/dvd, but I never get to dot it. On Jewelwiki I saw there is so much angelfood I don't even have. I really hope to get my hands on as much liveshows as possible.

But no hurry. There is so much music from other people to discover and I have so little space for my collection, since I started to expand my collection with vinyl-records space has really become an issue.

I'm thinking about getting digitalized as well (it would never replace cd's and vinyl). I hate Google, what other options would be handy and not to much work? (I'm a real NOOB with these kind of things.
I don't want to pay of course, I only pay for cd's and vinyl records.

[Jessica]

Can you use Deezer?

I think Microsoft's OneDrive lets you upload and stream your music now. 

Why do you hate google?

[Javo]

Google doesn't respect privacy enough in my opinion (not that they are the only one). I'm also not a big fan of social media. We get more and more option to communicate, but all these options only made people communicate worde (in my opnion)

When Jewel wrote something on her site I wanted to give a reaction, but I'm not a member of any social media so that wasn't possible. I think that's annoying

I'm thinking about Twitter, I heard that is not so populair anymore (does it mean that it will close?). But there are like 3 or 4 people I would like to follow. I quess it's not important enough for me, because I already think about it for a few years.

That is super irritating - especially since I don't like my personal facebook tied to my boarding like that. The Facebook Platform keeps me from commenting on her site, too. I used to comment before that, but not anymore.

Twitter's pretty cool, though - there's still a modicum of privacy for us normal people in there.  Personally, I like it for news updates and links to little known foreign policy essays. I love that kind of stuff.

[Javo]

I have a niece who's reall good at cycling (number 1 in the world right now), we don't have contact simply because my family is to big to have contact with all my cousins. But I really like to follow her and see how she's doing. retweet something now and then and congratulate her.

Also I like to follow Jewel of course, comes in handy to keep updated. to be amember on this forum keeps me just as much updated though...

[Jessica]

We are pretty on top of it, but it's nice to be able to occasionally tell the Blonde Bombshell Deity that she's awesome.

[Javo]

I'm really amazed by all of your reviews. I can really see what true fans you all are. You hear so many things I don't hear. I'm really a shallowly (is that even a word?) listener. It is nice to read because now I hear more than I heard before.
You all know much more about Jewels history and that give an extra dimension to her music.

Thank you all for sharing. You guys  really giving me an extra perception during listening.

This is almost exactly what I'd write. Knowing what other fans with varying degrees of obsession think is extremely helpful. Different people hear different things.

I should be ashamed to say this, but I don't even own an ipod. I have an iphone, but I have NO music on it. I listen to music on an old MP3 player that requires some makeshift gizmo thingie that uses a fuzzy radio station to listen to music in my new-ish vehicle.

Soooo. I guess I feel... old too...
