Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I think I just found it easier to look it up that way. Of course, the list isn't anywhere near as long as it would be yet. I've only ripped about 1/3 of the CDs I own. I may decide to do it your way soon.
The custom playlists I have are for mixes I've made, mixes other folks have made (very like the Buffistarawk collaborative mixes), and repertoire that I'm working on for whatever gig is coming up next.
I have to figure out whether to toss doubles. I mean doubles that aren't precise doubles. You can have the same recording session of a song on more than one album but the mastering could conceivably be different...
Sweet, Jessica! I'll be doing that later today.

I don't. I have some exact dupes (from the original album and from best ofs, for instance) that I keep so that I can listen to either album in its entirety. And then there are the close dupes...I'm a completist. I know some people plain don't put music they don't like on their iPod, but I need it all there.

Same here. It only causes problems when I get into the mood to listen to all songs in alphabetical order.
Well, the completist way is the way I've done things so far. But as I get closer to maxing out my hard drive I start to feel silly for contemplating buying a new hard drive just to store music.

What do you mean, "just" to store music? That's the best reason! Except for storing TV shows.

That's certainly where most of my storage goes. It used to be that images ate my space. Pfah. They're nothing now.
Yeah, back when I had 500 GB of storage, it was mostly TV. And about 150 of the top 250 IMDB movies. That was fun.
I dunno. I feel like I should be using it for Photoshop and Dreamweaver and practical applications. Except that I'm doing a piss-poor job of making time to learn them. It's just that it makes me feel like I'm using my computer primarily as a toy rather than a practical item.
