The Roots - How I Got Over (explicit)

I haven't been able to give this really thorough attention, but what I've heard is really awesome.

How big is the iPod you got?

How big is the iPod you got?

160gb.

I actually have a ridiculously large music collection - I really wanted to be able to put my entire Itunes library on the ipod.

Mine too. That was my plan too but now I am over 175GB so I have to leave some off.

See that's exactly where it starts to become a pain in the arse. My main concern was that I wanted to be able to sync my entire library - not portions of my library, as that becomes a management issue. When I start to hit that limit, I'm going to purge some of the bs from my library - you gotta have some total bs in that library too, right?

On a related note, its a total pain in the ass to do the original sync of the entire library. For some reason, it would only sync a few thousand songs at a time. I don't know wtf was going on... so my nerd instincts kicked in, and I made an automatically updating smart playlist that was everything in the library, defined as any song longer than 0 seconds, then changed the settings to sync that playlist (in addition to my other playlists). That worked flawlessly.

The one criticism I have of it so far is that it would be awesome to be able to add something to an existing playlist right on the ipod. I'm in the process of building an epic playlist of awesomeness. However, I've created a workaround. If I'm listening to a jam that I think is playlist worthy, I'm ranking it as 3 stars, which will then signify in itunes that they need to be added to my playlist. The only rating I use otherwise is 5 stars - for completely and totally epic songs.

Yeah, I have plenty of stuff that I probably /could/should delete.

I was having that trouble syncing to. It will just crap out after a couple thousands songs. I was beginning to think it was something wrong with the HD. I will have to try your solution.
