Whats the deal anyways......

can someone explain the ipod/itunes phenomenon to me?
i think i'm missing something here cause (society is)/(i am) getting progressively (i)crazy..i'm definetly beginning to feel a disconnect with my environment on this ipod thing... i've had an archos mp3 player for 2 years now. and while i like listening to songs with headphones and having what is essentially a walkman with a lot of capacity its the music thats important to me and the medium changing ain't going to- change- that.
