Dividends

Since I've gotten my new iPod, I've pretty much spent all of my free time playing with it--either listening to it, discovering all of the features it offers, or just uploading more music to it. I mentioned that X-Play software in yesterday's post, and the more I use it, the more I like it. And the extra bonus of not having to kiss the ring of i-Tunes is just gravy on my latest biscuit of good fortune.

By the way, I am the KING of mixed metaphors!

Anyhow, after writing up my thoughts yesterday, and posting a link to the XPlay web page, I got an interesting email this morning:

Hello Hurricane Mikey--

I wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for the nice write-up of XPlay yesterday.

We work very hard to make our software not only simple to use, but also invisible, so you can get done what you're trying to do and move on.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for using our software and the nice write-up. As a small gesture of our gratitude, when you are ready to take the plunge and purchase the full version, here is a discount code to get you $5.00 off the full price. During checkout enter "BLOGGING" when asked for a discount code. Hit recalculate and the price will drop to $24.95.

Please feel free to share it with your readers, it appears that some of them were interested in XPlay also.

Thanks Mike!

Sincerely,

Jeff Jorgensen

Somebody there is watching where their web traffic comes from. If you are an i-Pod user and don't wish to use i-Tunes, feel free to use this promo code if you're interested.

Anyhow, after using this software for a day or two, I thought it was a bargain at thirty bucks. And now with a discount, I'm sure I'll be purchasing the fully licensed version soon. I haven't had a single problem with it, and I love the fact that it makes my old junky-ass computer run like a top-of-the-line machine when it comes to playing with my i-Pod. No lockups, no slowdowns, no crashing. It's a good product.

Mikey
