I’ve finished importing every piece of (non-vinyl) music into my iTunes library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though ‘iTunes’ may soon become a thing of the past, as the trusty iPod Classic is so despised by Apple they stopped making them several years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately the market is awash with excellent quality portable music players, and the new devices are not tied to the same small-scale digital formats that Applie tied us to; can quite happily cope with the better quality .flac format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve kept the source audio files, so I can upgrade from .mp3 to .flac whenever I want (when my iPod Classic inevitably dies, probably).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t buy music from iTunes; haven’t done so for many years – around the time Apple introduced the ridiculous, and short-lived DRM, on behalf of a stupidly short-sighted music industry demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After today’s efforts my non-vinyl music library now stands at 9,451 songs which, according to the iTunes GUI, will take me 26d 9h 58m and 45s to listen to…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I could stay awake for 26 24-hour days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or 52 12-hour days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that’s nearly two months?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blimey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
