iPod Update

[qos]

777 tracks on the pod this morning.
Less than half of what was there Saturday morning.
Merg.
It's a bloody long process.

And to add insult to injury, Real doesn't want to transfer .wav files to the pod, when MusicMatch did, which means that I can't just transfer over two dozen or so of my quotes from movies and television that I had on it before. I tried to burn them to CD in .mp3 format and then put them back onto the hard drive, but all I got was squealing noise. I don't know if I missed a setting I should have used or what, because I thought I had done that successfully before.

The good news about Real is that, unlike MusicMatch, it allows me to edit track labels on the iPod. Previously, if I noticed a track had the wrong genre assignment, or if something was misspelled, I had to back and edit the original track on my computer and then transfer the track over to the iPod. If I had deleted the track from the computer, I had to re-record it first, and then do the corrections and then transfer it over. Now, I can just edit what's on the pod. I haven't tried the playlist function, but I hope it has the same flexibility. I was never happy with the way the other system handled playlists. Once it was recorded, the whole list had to be deleted and re-made if I wanted to make changes.

All of which are, of course, grumbles of affluence. My cool luxury toy isn't behaving exactly as I want it to. Wah.
