Some of you know about this series of posts. I write for a while about how messed up and confused state in which my iPod stays. It is filled with such an array of music that is gets confused and does not know exactly who it is. In short, it has an identity crisis.
Now, my iPod has some really serious issues. When my old laptop fell to the Blue Screen of Death, my files were trapped inside.
Luckily, the computer guy saved those files and brought them over to the Mac. Tests. Syllabi. Papers. Speeches. They are all here. He was also able to retrieve the music files I had uploaded from CD’s. Unfortunately, the computer guy was not able to get them back into iTunes.
You know about iTunes. They like to protect what you have purchased but have no use for what you bought in a real record store and put on the computer yourself.
Anyway, my music library is lacking. That means my iPod is in limbo. It still has the songs that were there before, but I cannot add any cool new stuff. You know, like the Jeremiah Johnson soundtrack that I bragged about the other day. Hopefully, my nephew can fix it when he comes back from college in a couple of weeks.
Until then, I will keep my iPod busy with a list of twenty random songs that can be found in its brain.
