WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

over 13,000 songs in 3 minutes...

Posted over 2 years ago
so my hard drive crashed about 3 weeks ago and it took applecare, here in france 2 1/2 weeks to fix it - all it needed was a new hard drive = open laptop, uplug old hard drive, plug in new hard drive, close laptop... but that's a different story.anyway, luckily for me, i have all of my music on an external hard drive - which, knock on wood (or as the canadians say 'touch wood' - i giggle every time i hear that), was safe. so i didn't lose those. however, i did lose my xml file that keeps my songs organized. i lost my playlists and ratings - and i did have virtually every song rated - yeah, talk about ocd, huh?i sucked it up and added the folder to my library thinking it would easily run overnight - but it finished in 3 minutes! damn. which leads me to another observation...once all my shizzle was added, it said that i have 36.7 days worth of music. and this only includes the songs that i like because when i rip my cds, i delete any songs i don't like very much (i hate having to listen to a shitty song to get to a good one - or a crap opening band at a concert for that matter). anyway, 36.7 days of music means i could listen to my stuff 24/7 for over 1/12 of the year and not hear the same song twice. and regardless of the quantity of songs i have, i am still on a constant, everyday search for new stuff. is that ridiculous? i'm neurotic...it makes me wonder why people have hundreds of gigs of music - djs are another story...

  4. chulsmith says it could be the upper canadians. i was in kapuskasing or however the f you spell it. coop can shed some light. his 'nana' (as we call them in france) is from the upper canada. and she likes to touch wood. or maybe she doesn't. or maybe she does unless she's tired or has a headache...

  5. Anna says Oh dear :( My own hd is about to crash on me any day now. But, ofcourse, I don't have an external hard drive. I'm glad that you did :) We say "knock on wood" :F

  6. kristiana says and no, it's not ridiculous. I had me a big fat ipod which got fried, which I can get fixed, but I have a nano now and it's very satisfying that I only have absolute favorite stuff on it, rarely having to skip a song. Which reminds me, I must go sort through the stuff on there again. Ok, so we ARE a little OC. This culture is killin' me. We all get caught up in taking all these amazing things for granted, feel we can't live without them (Apple, by the way, has done mind-boggling marketing - how many times have I heard, "I can't live without my ipod - I would cry/be depressed if anything happened to it..." Whaaaaaaa? I blame bad parenting, lol) Ok, I'm rambling...sorry, need more coffee.......just a sec....

  7. chulsmith says yeah, and two days ago, before i got my laptop back, i dropped my ipod for the first time ever - on the concrete while walking. seriously. talk about just about having a heart attack. i accidentally left it at work last week and it sucked riding the metro home and to work the next morning. i don't know, i think it makes the smell of stale urine, body odor and cologne/perfume a little more tolerable.

  8. kristiana says Oh, burn! He just took it to a whole new level, ladies and germs! Bypass the mother jokes and go straight for the grandma! Hahahahaha! Yes, I always laughed (and still do) at the terminology. What are the rest of us, chopped liver? Thing is, Ontarians (?) DO act as though they are the centre of the universe (well, of Canada anyway) - T.O. is the worst. No disrespect to your grandma, Kev! OK, about that coffee...

  9. kristiana says dude, you don't have a back-up discman, or - wait for it - walkman? I have had people point and laugh at my walkman when I pull it out and use it for a day. Talk about weird.

  11. kristiana says damn! I was really digging on dirty grandma jokes. Tres taboo! Guess I didn't think about the "in France" reference.
