A simple task complicated
March 6, 2011Recently, though I can’t remember why, I decided to reset my iPod so I could reorganize my music. I have entirely too much music on my iTunes to successfully managed to “sync” my iPod. I’ve got a classic 30 gig, so not enough room. Syncing only allows me to get half of my music. Plus, If I did use that option I’d probably would end up with all of M’s collection of Alexis on Fire instead of my beloved upbeat music.
So, I intentionally select “manual” for setting up my songs. Not a bad thing, really. However, it seems that this whole process has decided to wreak some havoc on some of my OCD type tendencies. You see, whenever I drag over a large list of songs, for reasons unknown, the artwork does not copy over accordingly. The artwork section simply remains blank for half the albums! This is unacceptable, as I just like to see the picture by the music playing on the screen of my iPod whenever possible. Really, is that too much to ask?
Being plucky and resourceful, I determinedly set out to find a work-around to solve this issue. I simply copy the artwork over to my iPod. Easy enough, right? Wrong. It has turned out to be an incredibly painstaking adventure. Whenever I copy the artwork it takes a good 30 seconds to copy over, jamming the screen. So for each album, I must wait. This adds up quickly. To add only the “M” section of my albums took almost 2 hrs. But I can’t stop! I must finish because I’ve got to make it work!
AHHH!!! The pressure!!!!
I really wish I could give up, but as I reach the “R” grouping I feel an end is in sight…
Now which Radiohead albums do I add???
