Last night I finally hooked up my PC after the move. In last apartment, Ali and I shared a desk and monitor for two computers. That was fine because I didn’t use my PC for much of anything besides a jukebox (It’s nickname is “Music Bitch”).
Well the second bedroom in our new apartment is huge. Much bigger than our old master bedroom, so it was finally doable for me to have my own desk. But this was a problem. We only have one monitor which we used to switch between PCs via a KVM switch.
But after a Planet video gig we had a little extra money one week, and thanks to a sale at Circuit City we got Ali a pretty cool new monitor and I took her old one. I don’t need anything special or new, so I decided to give the new one to her instead of me.
So now that Music Bitch is up and running, I had a stock pile of about 2 gigs worth of new music to put into iTunes since it’s been down for over 2 months. I got all that situated there are now 11,086 songs in iTunes (my e-Penis is huge) but 5,548 (6,806 before the first sync in over 2 months) songs have a play count of zero. That is just over half of my entire library of songs that I (or Ali, now that she has an iPod) have not listened to.
I decided to make a smart playlist of songs that have a play count of zero and I plan to work through it until, at least my music, is listened to at least once. What’s the point of having all this music if you never listen to it, right?
So right now the play list is at 5,539 songs and they will automatically remove themselves from the list once the play count goes to one.
By the way, the last time I made a note of my iTunes library (February 2007), I had 2,792 fewer songs.
I am right at my goal of a full month’s worth of nonstop, no repeating music. I’m pretty happy about that. Now I just need to do that pesky thing. You know. Listen to it.
