Trivia

Errors
- When Krusty gave Lisa the mypod and showed her Music to Sherri and Terri her Mypod is like the iPod Classic. But when she showed her an exclusive episode of Itchy and Scratchy, her Mypod is like the iPod Touch. The reason why because their are no buttons in the center, the homescreen has apps, and touch the episode of the Itchy and Scratchy.
- Lisa owed Mapple $1200 for downloading her music which cost $0.99 (or $1.00), but the bill would have said $1212 because she downloaded 1212 songs in her Mypod.
- She could've got 12 free songs.
- No, not an error. 1212 songs * 99 cents per song = $1,199.88.
- When Homer was flying in the magic carpet he was covered in his blanket, but when camera zoomed out, his blanket was gone.
