So I got Margie a (promissary note for) an iPod for her birthday, so that she can have music in her tiny little cube at the office (or “where ever she goes,” to be more lyrical).<\/p>\n

This has raised the issue of our home music library. I have ripped all our CDs — all 20Gb of them — onto my notebook, which is, to be honest, very much cramping my disc space. As I’m the person who buys most our CDs, it makes sense for me to rip them, and being the fanatical organizer I am about some thing (don’t laugh), it makes sense for me to rip them onto my machine.<\/p>\n

(And, actually, I’m in the process of re-reviewing all our ripped music to update the Artist and Composer fields, which are usually sorely lacking in most CD libraries. Oh, and cover art.)<\/p>\n

(We don’t actually buy a lot of CDs any more, but occasionally we do — and, no, not so much into the “download your favorite tune for 99 cents” kind of thing, as more than once my favorite tune on an album\/collection has turned out not to be the one I bought it for. Serendipity is all, man. Groovy.)<\/p>\n

I currently use iTunes for my music jukebox\/library, which works well. It collects and stores all sorts of metadata beyond the basic fields for the music, etc. etc. <\/p>\n

Ideally, I’d like the music library on Margie’s machine at home, with just enough music on my machine to satisfy my occasional desire to listen to music (I’m on the phone too much to listen to much at the office).<\/p>\n

The iPod might make that possible, along with some new features in iTunes 7<\/a>, such as being able to have multiple libraries. If I can create a library on one of our external drives, with a smaller “my tunes” library on my hard drive, everyone will be happy. We’ll have the music, I’ll have my local bits, etc.<\/p>\n

The main question is whether to get the 30Gb iPod (which will also hold everything), or an 80Gb (to allow for some added content down the line). Pondering.<\/p>\n
