Dude, you have no Q'ran.

Thank you, Will Shetterly.

HAH!

I have spent the past few days trying to get iTunes to recognise and add a new mp3. I picked up some free downloads by The Like at rcrdlbl.com(*) and while two of them went into the library easily, the third balked. I would say 'get that file' and iTunes would quietly hum to itself as if it hadn't heard me. I tried changing the file name. I tried changing its location. I tried shutting down iTunes, then rebooting entirely. I tried importing another file and then trying that one again.

Nothing worked.

Finally, today, I:
Opened the file in Audacity, translating it to an AAC file
Translated it back to mp3 format
Saved the file, with a new name
Re-imported it.

I win, technology.

(*)Dear RIAA: I just bought a copy of The Like's new CD for a friend's birthday. With my next paycheck, I plan to buy myself a copy. Based on my enjoyment of the free downloads.

Just sayin'.

You've got to scratch and claw

Allergy tests today--126 pokes. And in the end, I have a mild reaction to mold and a reaction to dust mites. No pollen or dander, which surprised me.
I also have prescription level antihistamines and a nose squirter.
