Music Box

This Christmas, I want an iPod Classic. I just want to have my vast music library available to me whenever I want and the Classic seems to fit the bill. I have a Nano but it only holds a small amount of songs.

Next to books, I love music. I guess it comes from me growing up with piano lessons that later evolved to playing clarinet and alto saxophone. I have a lot of CDs of different genres of music. You name it, I have it. Well, some things I don't have.

With the advent of iTunes and MP3 downloads, I am able to put my library into a small compact space. I hardly buy CDs and I have discovered some new genres. Since my collection has grown so big, I had to have all my music in an external hard drive. I have yet to sit down and edit my music selections. Once upon a time, I would check out a lot of CDs from the library and upload them to my iTunes.

The power of music evokes strong memories. Usually a song I would hear would take me back to some point in my life. I wonder whether to buy these songs to relive these memories. Most are good, some are painful. I figured that the painful stuff is buried for a reason. Sometimes we do have to process those memories to get through life.

One of these days, I'll have to organize my music and set up playlists. Well that will all come in time.
