Oh, to be a wizard! A computer whiz, that is; and work some magic!

Not to help me tune up my bicycle, although perhaps ebikes are tuned by computer. Some cars need to be tuned up by computer, after all.

My trouble is downloading music CDs into my old laptop; and transferring them from there to my iPod. The last time I added a few CDs, their tracks somehow got interfiled with each other!  The first movement of Mendelssohn\’s Third Symphony was followed by something in Respighi\’s Pines of Rome! It drives me crazy.

I bought a Lacie about three years ago, so I could download the music I\’d put on my old computer, and get it onto the iPod. I don\’t remember what exactly what to do. The web site keeps me so busy that the Lacie and my old laptop have sat; and Sat; and SAT!!

One time I seemed to manage to download all of iTunes onto my computer. Maybe that explains the interfiled tracks? Trying to get the items deleted was slow and strained my wrist, so I let it go for a while. That \”while\” has gone on for far too long. Now I\’m baffled.

This might seem trivial, but I want to get my all CDs loaded to the iPod so I can get rid of the old laptop. It\’s just lying around gathering  dust. I\’d like to have my music on the iPod because I\’d rather not bring a CD player in here. I hope the iPod hasn\’t reached its capacity to store music!

What bothers me is, will clearing the old laptop wipe out all those Melodies of the Masters? I sure would like to be a wizard.
