For a number of reasons, many of my CDs are not loaded into iTunes, and so not available to my iPod.  In addition, my CDs were scattered &#8211; some at work, some in my car, some here in my home office.  Today I gatherered everything up at work and brought it all home.  <\/p>\n<p>Many are still missing.  Among those that are not, I&#8217;ve found several things I haven&#8217;t seen (or listened to) for a long time.  Rediscovering them has been great.  I&#8217;m particularly pleased to have found my copy of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000002G23\/ref=nosim\/jclarkorg-20\">Police boxed set<\/a>.  Some of these songs I haven&#8217;t heard in years- like &#8220;So Lonely&#8221; from <em>Outlandos d&#8217;Amour<\/em> or &#8220;Invisible Sun&#8221; from <em>Ghost in the Machine<\/em> or so many others&#8230;  Man, there&#8217;s a lot of good music in there.  <\/p>\n<p>Once I get the whole library up-to-date (as much as I can&#8230; I think a sizable part of my CD collection from high school\/college is still back in Virginia somewhere), I need to start rating everything.  Eventually I want to create smart playlists that play things I haven&#8217;t listened to in a while&#8230; more frequently for higher-rated stuff, less often for lower rated stuff.  Put it all on shuffle and see what shows up.<\/p>\n<p>Something else I rediscovered&#8230; I find it interesting how slow it feels to rip a stack of CDs.  Even though the average import speed is north of 10x, which means 5 or 6 minute imports, I&#8217;ve been spoiled by broadband, fast processors and plentiful memory.  Waiting just seems so old fashioned.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having recieved an iPod for Christmas (thanks Sherri!), tonight I began updating my music library.
