last weekend amidst the torrential rain/storm, i sat in front of my laptop and decided to to a late spring cleaning of my own. i forced myself to go over 5,000+ of mp3s, sort them, put album cover, create playlist and burn my other cds to mp3. it’s a tiring process, specially the opms that i just can’t do a right click ยป download album cover on using itunes. i need to do a manual search on google images for most of the album covers, specially the indie and world genre. my guess is that itunes only have an image database of popular music.
i have almost have all genre of music excluding 1, the heavy metal. i have classical, indie, pop, r&b, world, grunge, jazz, pop, acid, and other kinds of music but i can’t really stand heavy metal music. the closest i have is the soundtrack of queen of the damned. i can’t stand shouting and squealing guitars mimicking the violin’s range.
i realized i’ve amassed so much house/trance/techno/chillout music through the years, like 35 cds worth. mostly dj tiesto, hed kandi and paul van dyk. i don’t listen to them that much except for the chillout and lounge when i want to just hang out in my room and lay flat on my bed. the oldest artist i have in my songbook is ella fitzgerald and judy garland. i love the old sound, the jazz throwback, soulful voices. though i appreciate contemporary jazz of harry connick jr., julia fordham and diana krall but nothing beats the oldies, the brat pack era. but what i am most proud of is my collection of broadway and kantahanl soundtracks, specially rodger and hammerstein’s south pacific and a chorus line, original cast of course!
it took me the whole 2 days to somewhat get my itunes and ipod organized. i’m having difficulty with the genre and duplicate songs; soundtracks and compilations are hell and creates duplicates of songs. hopefully next generation of itunes will allow users to assign a song to multiple albums.
