Curse it's eyes (iEyes)!!
My iPod is on the fritz. That stupid flashing file on the screen.
Why has god forsaken me? To whom should I repent? Why!!??
You said it Darth.
My good friend Elroy is suffering in the same way I am, only he seems to actually have lost his entire library. his buddy shared this wisdom in an email that I thought I'd share with the masses here on my blog...
"in fact, when it comes to music the enjoyment of music - something I know you are all too familiar with - , listening to a favorite album, a brilliantly assembled collection of tunes, can easily eclipse the pleasure derived from scrolling through endless itunes libraries"
Deep.
Well, I took this to heart, and started slowly unpacking some of my favorite albums (CDs), and actually playing those CDs.....in order!! Wow, what a novelty. I usually leave the shuffle feature on, so haven't been getting the real vibe of the record.
Since I've been watching the Beatles Anthology, I put on the White Album.... What a difference!
When I first got my iPod, I instantly went about making mixes. what a difference listenting to the whole thing in order again. I like "while my guitar gently weeps" way more in the context of the album more than I do on its own.
Perhaps I'm finding CDs to be a novelty, but it does show how sometimes the simple things can be so exciting.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to get it fixed (as soon as I get around to it), but I'm falling in love with my favorite music again.
On the down side, I snapped off the earphone jack inside my powerbook, so I can't listen to anything off of my computer.....that REALLY sucks.
Maybe I'll do a thursday thirteen of favorite CDs this week.

I know it's an old post and I'm sure you are dying to post more, but i had to comment since I too have an Ipod and I too have fallen in love with all my old music and some newer stuff that I never would have listened too if I knew how to put music on my Ipod and didn't have to rely on others to do it for me. It is that wayhow I wind up with Alphaville's "Forever Young" 5 times, 5 different versions, on my Ipod.
