The Awful Din


We now have an iPhone (but that's a different story), the point is we now have an iPod/mp3 player - my 5 year old iPod broke a few weeks ago... maybe a few months...

While an iPhone is a lot more interesting/valuable than simply an iPod (it has apps). Anyway, we can once again put music on a digital device. However, because my iPod had more memory than our new iPhone (and because it has apps; and because there are now 2 of us), we don't have enough room for all our music.

I managed to get my iPod working, but if moved it probably won't work again, so I went to take music off of it. But our computer has 6 GB free, and there are 18 GB of music on my iPod. So I was faced with a dilemma.

What to delete?

The 6 GB of NPR podcasts was an easy first choice, but that left at least 6GB left to delete.

The problem is that I have a lot of music I never listen(ed) to, but feel like I should have (Radiohead, Pink Floyd); and I felt that if I like one album of an artists, I should have them all (Johnny Cash, David Bowie).

I also have a lot of music on my iPod that I don't have anywhere else (ironically, Defiance, Ohio sells their music for $0.99 a song on iTunes, but offers it for free on their website).

Long story short: we have an iPod, we'll put some music on it, I lost a lot of music.
