Mired in Music
I go through phases where I ignore music and spent way too much time in my music collection. I am currently going through such a phase. In theory, I have a reason for it--I am rating my music and doing some general cleanup of stuff I have imported into iTunes. Doing stuff like "joining" CD tracks (why do I have to re-rip tracks in order to do this in the most acceptable way?), fixing album art, even adding a few CDs that I didn't rip earlier because I lacked sufficient disk space.
Talk of a Police tour has got me to dig out the one Police CD I have and import it into iTunes. I also found my Supertramp Paris double-CD as well and got that imported. I've also got some other "live" Supertramp album that contains recordings of indeterminate origin, otherwise known as a ROIO. I also started remembering a certain Yello song that appeared in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and out that came.
I wonder if I will get out of my music phase before I finish this project...

The Paris CD is awesome. I used to have the tape, years ago (as I've probably mentioned), but I never re-picked up the CD yet - dang, that's expensive. That was one awesome CD.
I used to carpool with this girl who ALWAYS played the police. I hated them. Then after college, I missed it so I went out and bought Syncronicity. I think it grew on me.
I remember that dad had Synchronicity a long time ago, not to mention the amount of airplay they were getting back in the day as well as on Classic Rock stations today.
I have my general computer backup as well as a backup with a service called MP3Tunes. Even if these ultimately fail, none of the stuff I have in iTunes will be lost as I still have the original CDs.
