We got word that our parking privileges for work won't renewed and I was getting annoyed because being able to park downtown conveniently and free has been a nice perk. Well, I go and look it up and see that my parking is currently actually only for Monday through Friday work hours anyway. I guess that's been the case since they switched owners of the garage (and switched from card access to registering your license plate) and I've been using the garage outside of when I'm supposed to for the past two years or so (granted, we don't go downtown that often, but now and again). Well, oops or whatever. I guess at least no one bothered to pay that close attention to it or care that much. Anyway. I also started on a massively long project: ripping all my cds onto this 4TB drive I got a while back. I know it'll take forever, but I'll consider it as a journey. Mary Beth and I went on another walk in the afternoon. At night I finished reading Near to the Wild Heart by Clarice Lispector and it was good. I guess that's it for now.

Are you adding album art to the id3 tags? I didn’t do it for most of mine but started to with my final batch and subsequent additions. Mostly because my last batch I decided to start using ITunes for ripping since they seem to have a better database than the one I was using in Linux. It’s really odd what art they don’t seem to have! For quite a few (especially the Caroline distributed stuff) I scanned covers in.

No, not doing art. The mp3 player these may eventually go to doesn't even display album art (though I'm ripping them as flac, maybe I'll keep them as flac if I ever put any on the little machine, or just convert them, whatever, that's a bit of a way in the future). I don't mind the db quality as I'm anal and will make adjustments anyway. Oh yeah, artwork. Also, if I ever wanted artwork I can just get it from Discogs (getting my collection in Discogs was a project of a small scope from a few years ago, and I keep that current and scan artwork when it's not there, though it is most of the time, but my point, anything that would need scanning is already scanned over there!).
