Victory is mine!

Saw GadgetDude. He wants to sell, he just wants to wait until he has his new iPod and can trasfer the songs to it.

"I'm planning to be really reasonable on what I give it to you for. Way too reasonable, in fact!"

The iPod itself is a 2nd gen one, like I'd suspected, is in perfect shape except for minor scratches near the Firewire connection port, and has all cables and case. He's going to email me sometime today or during the weekend with the price.

So I finally caved, and put iTunes for Windows onto my work machine, figuring that if I decided I hated it, the damage would be far less...well...severe. (.5 gig of Mp3s vs 9+)

I'm in love with the damn thing. I think every little niggling tweak I got annoyed by on the Mac version has been made a disablable option, particularly re-arranging the music file structures. (Reorganize /my/ collection? After I spent 4 years perfecting a system? Oh, I don't think so...)

The smart playlists still are a bit annoying, simply because I can't create a genre playlist and change the play order without shuffling manually through or altering the ID tags, but I can deal with that.

Creepily, however, I was playing Code Crush with visualization on...and it somehow managed to present a display chillingly similar to the 1st Tom Baker Dr. Who openers. I was just waiting for his face to pop up on the screen and the Tardis doors to appear.

However, I have to admit, I'm in love. I'm gonna put it on Basileus when I get home and probably spend some quality time making more smart and not-so-smart playlists in preparation to Pod.

Long day at work, tho. Lots of going out, hauling things, etx. But I got a good lunch out of it, and tomorrow, we get paid.
