With my 'big rig' hi fi system in a state of flux after some amplifier reliability issues, my attention has turned to music, specifically adding to and cleaning up my iTunes library.

Over the summer, I finally finished copying all of my CDs in ALAC format to iTunes on my iMac. The library is getting quite large. Some of the old tracks were also missing artwork, release dates and various other pieces of meta data which I have had fun tracking down and updating. I know that there are apps you can buy to do that, but sometimes they don't get it right and often it can be just downright wrong as they over-write some information that was perfectly good in the first place. Also there is some mindless fun to be had in searching and chasing some of this data yourself, especially for old Aussie bands and artists. Ah, the memories.

My serious listening system lately has been via headphones and I am ready to start loading all my iDevices with fresh, decent resolution portable tunes again.
