About 27,000 of my music tracks are also in the iTunes Match system
I thought the limit is 25,000.
I have almost that many.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm going to need to migrate to a desktop Drobo for this soon
I'm thinking about buying one of those when I retire my 2008 Mac Pro. Have you been happy with them?

That is for tracks not purchased through the iTunes store. I also have a lot of music purchased through iTunes and that does not count against your 25,000 limit.

I have a Drobo 5N on the network that has been working quite well. I've been been through a drive failure and the auto repair worked like a champ. The Drobo alerted me of a bad drive, I pulled it, popped in a replacement, it repaired the files and it just worked.

Me too. Cool.

What brand/model of drives do you put in the 5N?

I think I have Seagate drives in there. Most 3 TB models. There might be a WD drive in there as well.

So I ended up getting a 15" RMBP off-the-shelf. It's the one with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD.
Very shiny! Although everything appears too large. Guess I gotta mess with settings a bit.
eta: Huh. Using a scaled down resolution rather than what's supposed to be the best for the Retina Display looks better, size-wise.
eta²: Gods, my old MBP was getting slow. It's so nice to have a 'puter that scrolls smoothly while using Feedly and Facebook.

Ugh, Android podcast managers are CRAP. Downcast, why have you forsaken me?
Unless I'm missing something, BeyondPod doesn't have a way to rank podcasts for smart playlists unless I create categories for each one.
DoggCatcher *kind of* has this functionality, but it doesn't work as well as Downcast did, and the interface is hideous.
Basically, what I want is the ability to set priorities and then put feeds into a playlist that will always play the oldest unplayed highest priority podcast next. Downcast did this beautifully. I haven't tried PocketCasts yet because it doesn't have a free trial version.
I also want the ability to skip forward and back in 15 or 30 second intervals to get past ads and boring bits.
Help?

Hey. New board.
Jessica, Pocket casts can do the skipping but not the priority ranking as far as I can tell. That is a pretty cool idea that I would probably use so let me know if you do find one.

Hey. New board.
You could try Podtrapper. It is pricey but there is a free trial on their website
Edit: never mind it sucks.
