Wow. My itunes was updating, and crashed midway, and all my music was lost. Nearly 6000 songs, all neatly placed in obsessive playlists. I actually nearly had a heart attack, and my whole body went all clammy like a very young nervous toad.
However, I have at least managed, after hours of random button pressing (I operate most machinery by randon button pressing in the knowledge that eventually by pure chance something will happen that I am aiming for) I appear to have got back the music. But not the playlists! My OCD is struggling with the fact that all my years of LTT and other djing playlists have gone, and I just have 6000 songs all in a great big long list.
BUT my optimism prevails and I have decided that it will serve to make me look at my music in a less predictable way, and design a whole new set of playlists for the modern me.
I have a sneaky feeling that perhaps some songs got lost in the fog, but I will have to just let it go.
I did also (thank god) save my songs onto my external hard drive, but not in the correct way, so it's a good job I found them on my mac again afterall. I also have them on my ipod, but haven't added any new ones for about 6 months, so that would've been incomplete too.
So now I will;
1. Burn several DVD's of the songs.
2. Add everything onto my ipod.
3. Learn how to properly back up onto my external hard drive.
4. Make 600 cassettes of everything.
5. Play everything on my piano, and record it onto my phones voicemail.
6. Write all the lyrics to all the songs down, and send them to a hockey player in Sweden.
7. Bury my mac in the back garden wrapped in 17 miles of tinfoil.
8. Have the songs electronically attached to my frontal temporal lobe and sit in the microwave for the rest of my life humming 'Bad Girls' by Donna Summer.
This is my world.
