1026 down...

[saviourseph]

 Decided to get rid of iTunes in favour of a music player that isn't huge, bloated, slow and ugly. Finally settled on the Zune software (seriously, when did Microsoft start making nice software? First Windows 7, then IE9 which I would consider using if it had extensions, now this... I'm shocked) as it's both snappy and OMG pretty (see?). HOWEVER, when I moved my music out of the nest of iTunes folders all hell broke loose... half my tags seemed to vanish into the ether, along with a tonne of album art (I thought iTunes embedded that in the file?) and now my music collection is, to put it lightly, a great big fucking mess. So I'm taking this opportunity to clear out some of the stuff I never listen to and tag the stuff I actually do properly (yes, even genres).

...this is going to take a while.

I am ridiculously particular about how music is organized on my hard drive (I had 100 gigs of mp3s on my old computer).

Speaking of Mircosoft, I used to have Windows ME. *shudders*

I let iTunes organise mine... probably a mistake, looking back.

I was fortunate enough to skip most of Microsoft's shitty software... I started out on a BBC Micro, then moved onto RISC OS, then Apple (with brief dabblings in Linux every now and then) - until Windows 7 I'd only used DOS/Windows for running games.
