... being on this site. It's like someone has taken away candy from a kid. Bought an iPod on Wednesday last week, and spend almost every free moment (and even the whole of Friday) organising my mp3 collection, editing, converting, enhancing, 'hacking', retuning (iPod and ICE). Never knew it can take such a long time, from now on - buy a cd and rip it... don't wait ages

But I am back now and will participate as always YAY!

You are hopelessly addicted and must come to terms with that.

Heh, hopefuly you won't follow my path:

1) Rip all CDs using iTunes' default MP3 encoder.

2) Realize iTunes' default MP3 encoder is terrible

3) Re-rip all CDs using LAME MP3 encoder (which is notoriously slow)

4) Realize I don't really want to lose any sound quality at all. Re-rip entire CD collection using Apple Lossless (which means my iPod only holds a rotating portion of my collection at any given time)

Whew! I don't ever want to have to touch any of my CDs again. Ugh.
