OLD: Frantically trying to find That Song in the middle of 2-3 binders of CDs, some of them poorly-marked (CRAP 1, BAR ISH 14) and some others being compilations. No liner notes. Bonus points for pulling it off in the last :30 of whatever’s playing.
NEW: Frantically trying to type (or remember how to spell (or misspell)) That Song in poorly-organized folders inside folders inside folders. Bonus points for realizing there’s an umlaut in the last :30 of whatever’s playing. I hate you, Blue Oyster Cult.
OLD: Stacks of CDs that resemble the Leaning Tower of Pisa or Stonehenge, depending on the allotted space. New ones forming as ideas happen but may or may not come to fruition.
NEW: Queue lists of songs just in case. Constantly dropping songs and trying to keep things to mix or follow up together as ideas happen. (Best thing here is unlike CD stacking, this won’t screw up your media.)
