As you know if you've read my blog, I won an Ipod yeterday.
Yep for once that I actually win something, so that made my day. :)
Now I'm wondering what I should do as I dont know if I will use it as often as I should be.
Its a brand new boxed 15GB one and is all wrapped up.

Now do I keep it, or do I sell it and put the money towards a nice Midi keyboard for my music production ?

I'm still trying to decide, and want your views.

Thanks.

Buy a midi keyboard, Cubase SX and loads of VSTI's (Albino and Absynth for starters), listening to music you've created is far better than listening to someone elses ;) And besides, you might get rich creating your own ... no-one's going to throw money at you for listening to an mp3 player.

If I decide to sell it will be after chrismas I'm afraid as I have way too much on my plate at the moment.

Get the keyboard, making music is a great talent (I've been working on Tracker type tunes for 2 years now ;) )

Ah well I couldnt stop looking at the box any longer and have opened it.
It looks so coool I'm going to keep it.

Looks like I'm going to be continuing producing with only the PC for the moment and hopefully go for the Keyboard next Summer instead.

Thanks all.
I guess Im not selling afterall.

Good choice mate, congrats on winning it, I want one so bad even though id barely use it, but then again I want a Mac just because Apple stuff looks so stylish :D

Yeah when I switch it on it all lights up and I'm like Oooooooh nice.
Never win anything normally so this is a great day.

Anyway, I hope you all have a good christmas. I'l try and spread some winning luck to everyone else.
Have a good new year.

You can still pick up a 2 octave Edirol controller for around £80, very good too.
