One summer when I was growing up I worked relentlessly folding invoices, licking envelopes and stamping letters for my dad's business to save up enough money for the most coveted item of the time - an iPod mini.

After venturing to Target and laying down my dollar bills, I brought home my first MP3 player, and immediately started burning all my CD's on my computer and creating playlists.

This was also the first time I encountered the almighty iTunes, and was extremely fussy about what kind of music I wanted to buy.
