Today was what I’ll call The Great iTunes Purge of 2008. I haven’t messed much with iTunes since I reformatted. I knew I had some work to do before I’d feel comfortable syncing my iPod again, not losing some of the playlists that took a little more effort. I noticed though, after Kristi accidentally unchecked all of her songs, that mine were ALL checked…something I hadn’t thought of at all when I imported everything all over again. So I set about deleting and unchecking all the proper files all over again, starting with the duplicates, of which there were waaaay too many. Apparently iTunes needed two copies of most of my Lifehouse songs…not acceptable.
So not including the songs I’ve unchecked (meaning I still want to keep them, but don’t need them on my iPod) I deleted over 700 songs. About 200 were duplicates so hey, I say bravo to myself! It’s like my iTunes has taken a few doses of anoretix and totally dropped a few pounds! I always try to go through and get rid of stuff I don’t/won’t ever listen to but I do it half-assed or quit halfway through so this was a pretty big accomplishment for me tonight. There’s very little I kept that I would question whether or not I’ll listen to it, but it’s all from artists I have one or two songs I really love and then other stuff I just haven’t given a fair chance to yet.
I’m still at about 4000 songs, so I’m not hurting 
Hopefully this’ll give my next button some rest while shuffling!
