I Think This Is Getting Needlessly Messianic

Anyone who's seen my MP3 collection knows I have a lot of them.  Anyone who's seen the directory tree for my MP3 drive also knows that I'm picky about how I store them.  Albums go in 'Albums', individual songs in 'Singles', and anything that has been backed up to a CD goes in 'Archived'.  As of right now, the albums I have yet to archive to CD stands at close to five gigabytes.

It was looking at this, and realising that I had yet to listen to many of them in their entirety, that has led me to a new project: I am going to listen to every single MP3 I own.  Ah! But where's the challenge in that?  I am going to listen to every MP3 I own in chronological order based on album release date.

Actually, that's not quite true; I'm only listening to those MP3s I copied to my hard drive from their archived CDs, or that I have yet to burn.  Albums and songs that I'm embarrassed to admit I once listened to are still on their respective MP3 CDs, and are going to stay there.  Also, I am only listening to those songs I have had a chance to sort through and properly tag.  This means that the approximate 3 gigabytes sitting in the 'To Be Sorted' folder are currently excluded.

iTunes estimates that it would take me 11.3 days of straight listening to make it through this limited selection.  I better go make myself some coffee.

Title is worth 1 point.
