40 gigs of goodness

Well, I finally broke down and bought an mp3 player. After seeing how handy Aaron's was on the float trip I decided to get one with a FM transmitter. I ended up getting a Toshiba model. It's pretty cool, small and light with a full color screen. The touch sensitive buttons are a little touchy though. It's taken 3 full days, but I will have my entire music collection on it by tonight. Mostly it took so long because I only have usb 1.0. The first day was tricky getting it to do what I wanted. Windows media player sucks balls for transfering. I have all these nice folders organized by artist and album. When I loaded them up into media player, it would make its own folders based on data on the tracks. So, instead of having a nice organized folder system, the damn thing would break it down based on spelling. So, instead of having one Frank Black folder, I would have 3 or 4 based on spelling and capitalization. Some of the folders would only have one or two tracks. I messed around with that for awhile trying to get it to do what I wanted...but it was useless. I ended up using the proprietary transfer software and it is much better. It keeps my music organized the way that I want it. I can't wait to try it out tonight. I put everything on there....even Dead can Dance just in case Cassie is around sometime and needs a fix. That's all for now....back to work.
