I've spent half of the past week reconciling my CD database of what I have versus what's actually on my MP3 player.  Found about 60 that were missing.  Of those, I found 40 on some CD backups I made back in 2002 and 2003.  I started uploading them on the MP3 player until... I ran out of space ( Read more... )

Man, they're playing some good stuff on the home shopping network equivalent here.
Just finished with some Stratovarius... had to be on the Infinite album, since I could recognize it. And now they're going with Sonata Arctica, "Blank File." Better than anything else I'll find on TV ( Read more... )
