My Apple product hate-on continues
You guys. Oh, you guys. Yesterday, I mentioned I was up to the letter R in my progress to get everything copied over to the iPod. Last night, progress came to a screeching halt when all of a sudden, things just ceased to copy over. WTF. Click, drag, nothing. Reboot. Nothing. The fuck? After cursing at it for a while, I gave up and watched the last three episodes of Community, season one (yay!).
This morning, I took a good look at what's going on, and I saw at the bottom of the iTunes window that the device is full. One hundred forty-eight gigs full. And only about 80% of my CD collection on it--just over 3,900 songs. According to the guy at the store, this thing should store 40,000 songs. And my ancient little Creative Labs Zen, with a mere 80GB, holds my entire music collection with room to spare. So obviously, something was not right with the rip settings and I must've recorded all these CDs (nearly, what, four hundred of them?) at too-high quality.
Is this irony? I don't have a good grasp on what constitutes irony or not. But I feel that, in light of recent discussions about my wanting to have CD-quality music available to me for play through The Good Speakers, this might qualify as irony. Maybe?
Whatever it is, I feel like throwing this damned iPod through the wall. I'm gonna have to wipe the whole thing, figure out the correct format for ripping things at a lower bit rate, and start all over. All. Over.
Oh my fucking god, people.
This project is on hold until next year. For real.
