sorting out day
today i are been mostly sorting things out. i went through loads of emails and actually deleted a lot of them! for anyone who knows me, i NEVER delete emails (although saying that, i never use capital letters either and i just did). some of the emails dated back to 1854 - well, not quite but february 2002 at least. in february 2002 i didn't even live in this house... it was pretty weird reading some of them as i remember the conversations involved!
anyway, onto what i learnt: seeing as i was on top 'sorting out' form i decided to sort out my mp3 collection as well. i currently have about 4,000 (10gig) of mp3's so i knew it would be a mammoth task. for some reason musicmatch jukebox decides not to automatically work out what genre of music a cd is when i rip the songs from it so there were quite a few that i had to add - this took a fair while.
i've just realised i still haven't started about what i learnt, i tell you now so i don't digress again! about 20 of my mp3's are single tracks with no other information (like album, year etc) so i decided to use the all music guide to learn what albums they were from. it's such a useful resource as you get to see how many different people have covered various songs and tried passing them off as their own...
well, anyway, i'm tired and hungover (i'm actually writing this on monday morning) so i'm gonna go do some work.
