Music, Music, Music

I have been woefully lacking in posting my 'daily diaries' lately. This is partly because of Thanksgiving. In addition, I am in the process of 'backing up' ALL of my music files (over 4000) onto DVD discs in the mp3 format. This entails converting ALL of them from wma files first. I hit a 'snag' when I hit the "various artists" file. There were almost 800 songs there, and about 250 were "unknown artist". I did what I could from memory, and now i'm using Windows Media Player to find the information on the albums and/or individual songs. A daunting task, but necessary. I lost all of my files about 5 months ago when my computer "crashed", and had to re-install everything. I don't want to go through that again, hence, the back-up. When i'm finished, i'll have all of my music on about 5 discs. Much easier to re-install if necessary. Also, by converting to the mp3 format, I can make compilation CD's with about 200 songs per disc. The radio/CD player in my truck will also read "file" discs, so I can play them in my truck as well. For Christmas, I may buy myself a similar radio/CD player for my Jeep. When i'm done with this, I still have over 200 cassette tapes to convert to mp3 format, and a little 'vinyl' as well. I may be done before Armageddon!! Anyway, i'll try to catch up on the 'dailies' soon. Until then, bear with me.
