Grr!

I have no music just at the moment, for I have 740 MP3s which need their metadata fixed before I can get Winamp to rescan my music directory so I can listen. Woe!

...

Except that I'm doing all this in iTunes. Which plays music. *facepalm*

Why did I not see this sooner?

Couldn't you have loaded them into Winamp with inaccurate metadata anyway, then just refreshed it when the corrections were done.

No harm done, we'll just have a few mystery songs.

Nay, for the file locations are being changed too.

This is why I hate "Music Library" apps and functions.

I sort my music where and how I want it, the sorting often changes, and I want to be able to play the music by clicking it, irregardless of ID3.

I use Winamp 2 for a reason. It has none of that useless (to me) clutter.

Of course, I'm also using a 6 year old computer and my mp3 collection is over 2500 files and climbing. A Library function would make my computer CRAWL.

I used to sort it how and where I wanted it, until I realised that there was no way I eas ever going to get it all how and where I wanted it without serious, automated help.

This could be because prodding files about the place the old fashioned way makes me so mind-numbingly bored I'd much prefer to be playing Minesweeper.

I have huge piles of files but it doesn't bore me much, mostly because I spent the time to set up a fairly good filing system.

Everything new goes into one folder, and then gets a listen and then sorted. Takes almost no time, so it doesn't get boring.

I was lazy, so it's time to edit metadata, especially to add album and track information.

I really need to get my music files organized, but there are so many of them that I can't even motivate myself to begin.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I've motivated myself to begin on the grounds that it'll make it end sooner.

Also, PANDAS! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Hee, there are actually five pandas in the original picture. 5! Baby! Pandas!!

I know what I'm going to ask Santa to give me for Christmas.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Dear Santa,

give me a panda or the elves get it.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

o.O How did you get your hands on those elves? And where can I find some?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I put glue on the toy machines?

You're very wise. *takes notes*
