#71: Reorganize iTunes.

Date Completed:  2/2/2010

Some things are just plain annoying when they happen, but on the up-side, there’s always room for another item on the list.  So, I was typing a document on my laptop, and when I clicked “Save”, I received a message saying the hard drive was out of space.  Impossible, so I snooped around and eventually found that when I configured iTunes years ago, I accidentally set it up so that a copy of each song was saved in a separate iTunes folder, thereby doubling the space needed for my music.  Anyway, I don’t know if I was rushing or irritated when I tried to fix this, but I ended up completely erasing all of my iTunes library when I deleted the duplicate song files.  I thought it would be simple enough to fix, but none of my old .wma files transferred (only .mp3 and .m4p), probably due to the new iTunes version.  I ended up having to re-load each and every CD to rebuild the library and playlists.  While it was a mind-numbing process, it was fun to see how my music tastes changed over the years.  I mean, who knows when my Crystal Method phase even was.  I suspect it may have been somewhere between Beastie Boys and Social Distortion.  Hmm...I need to find my old License to Ill - after all, I'm pretty sure ill'n is somewhere on my list!  “So what’s the time?”
