Vacation Preparation Step #1: Digital Music

• Purge your iPod of all the albums you haven't listened to in months.
• Scour your CD collection for discs you haven't listened to since you got your iPod.
• Waste a rainy morning listening to 30-second bits of about 200 songs you haven't heard in years. (Songs open in iTunes. Get it.)

I thought computers were going to save us time and that digital music held the promise that we could bring our collections with us anywhere. How come I waste so much time sitting in front of my computer playing with digital music. (And who would have ever thought that you could play with music?)
