Never the most enjoyable experience, but that is indeed what happened, and my backups weren’t as often as they should have been, so I’ve lost a bucket load of stuff, and I’m currently filling my lovely empty new hard disc up again. I had a lovely moment when the first album I added to my iTunes was the mixes of my own record. That was rather deadly, I gotta say.
But I’ve kinda made a half assed attempt at putting my iTunes music collection back together, as I’ve realised how little I listen to music on my computer anymore. I stick on Lyric FM, or play a vinyl record these days more than finding something on iTunes. I listen to CDs in my car, so for the last year or so, iTunes has been a way to do up mix CDs for the car, and that’s about it. I don’t think I’ll attempt to have the huge bloated music library I used to have, but instead, I’m gonna use this rebirth of my computer to be a bit more careful about what music I have on there, and maybe I’ll find myself actually listening to music on my computer again if I have to hit the skip button less often and value the music that I put on there more too.
This iMac has previously had a dead logic board within the first few weeks of me buying it, and was already named Jean Grey as a result of its miraculous rise from the dead that time. I guess the name is still pretty apt. I had a desktop of Jean as Phoenix for a long time. I guess it’s time I went with that again, or is that tempting fate?
