No Song Left Behind

Jul 17, 2006 22:18

I was obsessive-compulsively tagging my iTunes collection with the proper album, track number and album art details when I came to an awful realization (and no, it wasn't how this was such an utter, bollocks waste of time).

Most of the tracks in my collection have never, ever been played. They've never seen the light of day (or since we're ( Read more... )

I so knew you were going to pick on 'jologs'. XP The post contains hundreds of words that isn't 'jologs' tsk.

heh, i almost felt you wrote it down for me to pick on:P

I just randomly insert it into my entries to test if you'll find them. Parang Hidden Mickey. :P

You should make a compilation of these pensive entries, ala Jessica Zafra's column compilations. :P

That's like saying a newspaper should hire me to be a columnist. Never going to happen. XP

followyoudown July 17 2006, 15:02:24 UTC

Not lucrative nor challenging enough, huh.

Actually, there's nothing I'd like more than being a nationally syndicated columnist. Unfortunately I'm too politically incorrect for that to ever happen. I'll have to settle for notoriety online.

gah. i don't know how to use bittorrent. pathetic.

rosseau July 17 2006, 23:43:41 UTC

download a program that recognizes torrent files. These torrent files direct the program how to look for sources of the file you're looking for, e.g. mp3s or videos, etc.

I recommend bitlord, faster than some others...

Gourami? Err. I'm not sure if it's the same Sushil...thin, earnest looking Indian guy who studied in Singapore?

OMG! SMALL WORLD! Haha I will tell him you said hi, once I actually get to talk to him. He still hasn't told me where he was working, you beat him to the punch. :D

Oh, man, I'd love to tag all my music properly one of these days (including album art), but the fact that I have a 4000+ song collection's only a little bit intimidating. :|

And actually, I always play new music I get, so I sort of have an idea of what I have, but sometimes they got played while I was sleeping, so I still don't really know all of my music. A last-ditch effort to rectify the situation is setting up a rarely-listened-to playlist and rating them as I go along. :|

boyspacefriend July 18 2006, 15:28:10 UTC

That's my problem too - I usually download and play the albums, except I use it as mood music for when I'm reading/studying/working, so I don't really notice some of the songs.

Don't worry though, I've got a couple of thousand songs, it wasn't that hard to tag them all. Wait til you graduate and you've got time to kill. It's very High Fidelity. :P

ibet July 19 2006, 00:46:13 UTC

I never notice the songs that are playing on iTunes unless it's a playlist I've compiled myself. I think I only know about 500 of all the songs I actually have.

Wait til you graduate and you've got time to kill.

How very reassuring. :|

boyspacefriend July 19 2006, 07:40:21 UTC

I meant that you would have a well-deserved vacation before getting that fabulous job. ;) Haha.

I can now honestly say I'm well-acquainted with at least a thousand of my songs now. I'm still deciding whether I should copy my CDs to my iTunes (waste of space vs. listening pleasure, oh my).
