I have a new hobby of listening to mp3s with my muvo. They, however, are not songs but rather recorded sessions from many (IT) conferences from IT Conversations. I think it’s really cool, because those recorded conversations were rich with information and insights. They are inspiring, because most of them deliver their points passionately. Those are the feeling which can’t be experienced simply by reading books. My favorites are Malcolm Gladwell’s session about the tipping point and blink. The longest I listened to was from Clay Christensen, author of the innovators’ dilemma.
Another positive aspect of listening to those conversation is that I’m listening to the properly structured and spoken english. Something that often missing in Singapore: accent and vocabulary. I guess, it can be really effective and efficient way to learn – and this what makes muvo (or any other Flash based devices) really cool, and useful. Download – and it’ll become personal learning center.
I have one too, but with white housing. This mp3/wma player + fm radio + usb drive combo is very functional.
