L.P. compatibility issues?

Ahhh! Okay, so after spending the evening at the apple store clearing out my brothers old iPhone (3gs) and updating it to ios6, I get home, spend another half hour downloading spotify and pandora and then I put the phone in the wadia. Battery on phone indicates that it is charging (a good first sign), play spotify ya! It works... For 12 seconds then stops, then starts, then stops. I was like f this and f that and f wadia and f apple and f the world (only in my head of cours, as I don't curse out loud), so I get in my car, rush to best buy as a last ditch effort, buy a new iPod touch, gen 4, 16gb, rush home, download spotify (this time in 5 minutes) and voila! It works! For longer than 12 seconds! Holy wadia, it works!! Sheesh, if I knew it would only take 4 days of non stop irratation, grief, research, 2 iPods and 2 iPhones, I would have done this months ago. Yeah right. Wadia 170's and apple products should be sold with about 40 Zanex, 15 somas, and a couple Vicodin for good measure, to go with the bottle of whiskey that you pick up on the way home from purchasing your wadia and apple products.
Seriously, I am 34 and am totally intimidated by technology and rightfully so. It is only getting worse,as was stated above. So my iPod is never leaving the dock and I am never updating it in the hopes that it might actually continue to work, until that is, a mandatory update will keep it from working in the future, at which time it will become a target at the range.
Ahhhhh...

Okay, so I've got to set the record straight here so that I don't steer people wrong in the future because of this post. First off, I'd like to say that I'm finding out in my old age (34) that I might be wrong more than I'm right; ouch, that was tough, because I'm also proud and hard headed. Okay, so, what I've found out is that all of the ipods and iphones I tried would have worked except for the one that I bought of craigslist (that one had been dropped and fixed, so I bet had it not been dropped, it would have worked too). The problems that I ran into were actually the result of spotify not streaming highest quality audio at certain times (usually at night) because of bandwidth issues. When you run into that problem, just select a lower rate on spotify. Anyways, I would say that %95 of the problems I ran into were user error / insufficient knowledge. So, does crow taste better with A-1, becsuse I sure have been eating alot of it lately and figure I should learn the best way to prepare it!

34, old age? I have jeans older than you !!!! :)

OMG Tp. I just stopped laughing. At 59, I really don't remember 34. Might have been the additional recreations.

Lol, thanks for the laugh guys! In all honesty, 50 is the new 40, so you guys are still young! Actually, age is just a number and I plan on being young at heart, yet wise for my age, my whole life. Cheers!
