solipsistic NATION No. 129: SkipSkipSkip

Last week my iPod had a glitch and requires that I connect it to iTunes on my Mac to do a restore. The problem is that I use my iPod as an external drive to store all my music and also where I build playlists for solipsistic NATION. If I do a restore it will wipe out everything! I haven’t found a way around this (email me if you have a solution) so I’m patiently waiting for the battery in my iPod to die and then I’ll connect it to iTunes. Hopefully this will resolve the reconnect issue.

Fortunately, I have thousands of MP3 on my Mac to choose from (check the links below, nearly half the tracks that appear on this week’s are available as free downloads!), not to mention the stack of new CDs that I’m constantly trying to work my way through. Still, it’s unsettling that I might lose everything on my iPod. I’ve got a bunch of rare tracks that would cause me great pain if they end up unsalvagable.
