potential disaster
i think i may have seriously fucked up my iTunes library. i got a program to transfer the existing songs on my iPod to my music library. however, in this process, it changed most of the filenames to 4 or 5 digit numbers.
i made sure to specifically turn on the option that would prevent this before i launched the program. it obviously didn't work.
the files display the artist and track name on the iPod and iTunes just fine, but not in the original files. so if i want to clean up the original files, i have no idea what the file is.
fuck! i'm trying not to hyperventilate.

i believe that's the caveat of transferring music from an ipod to a computer. my understanding is that itunes renames the files when they are transferred over to your ipod device. the filenames on the ipod aren't changed when you copy them back to your hard drive - they were changed when you sync your library with your ipod.
if you stick it out with itunes as your player you should be fine.
Okay..no more I Tunes drama. Talk about your lovely weekend hiking the hills of San Francisco in search of ice cream.
yes, this is why I am in silent protest of the ipod and all it stands for! Creative!
