    Blah this is torture

    In my ample spare time at the moment I am up loading all my CDs into itunes. A process that I always figured would be boring, but is proving to be a modern version of water torture, mainly due to the fact that the optical disc drive dosen't appear to go faster then 4X speed. I have maxed out the hard drive (now 100G) to accomodate all this data, and it looks like I'm going to use it all. To date I have brought in 3500 songs @ 128kb AAC format, that is (15G) enough music to last 9 days without any repeats! The scary thing is I'm only a fifth or a quarter the way through, (yes i have a big CD collection). The other thing I've noted is just how crap a lot of it is LOL. When I finally get to the end of this horror, I think I'll sell most of the CD's I don't rate as classics or keepers. Was thinking real groovy would be a good place to start, but was wondering if anyone else could sugest some place where I could get a better deal, when selling secondhand in bulk like this. Thanks. DR.

    Trademe?
    Papers
    The homeless?

    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Now the homeless you say, do they pay well, maybe they could use them to build a little CD fort.

    Its because of Electromagnetic energy loss.

    When up loading with I tunes, there are more than likely to be a minimum of 50000 people doing the same thing. Because of this, the +ve energy airwidth is getting used up.

    In which case, you may have a faulty manager in the cable duct

    iTunes was written for an OS that works...therefore if youre using a windows machine then its not always a great app. If you havent got a Mac then buy one. Then you *shouldnt* have these issues. Takes about 5mins (I think) on a base level eMac.
