I-Pod - Do you get mesmerized by cover-flow?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm obsessed with filling my I-Pod and making sure that every cd (Even obscure local releases) has album artwork.

I then can spend hours (if left to my own devices) just skimming through cover-flow looking at all the album covers, or going through my entire collection (just over 6k songs and counting) and making sure I have album covers for each and that the quality of the cover is clear and distinct.

If I see a CD that doesn't have a cover, I make a mental note to add one next time i'm on the net, or its like a thorn in my side, I hate that there isn't an album cover. I then try and think of ways of getting the album cover, by either googling, or scanning the cover in.

I also get annoyed when I have downloaded MP3s, for example one whole album - and the encoding or such has made the volume of maybe one particular song uneven. So the whole album is at one level, then one song is a bit softer and sounds a bit lesser in quality. I will then if money is available, purchase the cd, just to ensure I have the right versions, or I will go nuts on the net downloading copious versions of the same song, to see if there is one that sounds the "same".

Anyone else do this?

hehheh...

yes.

thank god for towers.com...they have all the album covers

I do that too. I just went through all my songs and albums. The thing I don't like about some album covers is the stupid Parental advisory sticker, so I searched the net for Original LP versions of most of the albums without that sticker or the little CD logo that's on some of the artwork.

I want the whole cover and nothing messing it up.

I'm glad my MP3 player doesn't have a color screen, I'd probably do that too

I'd never manage to even get 50% of mine done, but I can imagine the brilliance of flicking through them. Probably not as good as flicking through the records in my record browser.

Only about twenty or so songs out of about 130 have album covers on mine.
