Oh boy am I addicted to downloading mp3s. I just downloaded Jim Gaffigan's new album "King Baby" for $5 (yes, five bucks!) off of Amazon, plus I'm downloading 3 free mp3's from the iTunes store. As of now I have 3952 items, 10 days 8 hours 57 minutes and 36 seconds, or 16.75 GB of mp3s in my iTunes.
I just love music. I'm addicted to iTunes.
I was talking to a regular customer about music, iPods, and such and I happened to mention, "I think I have about 16 GB of mp3's in my iTunes" and her jaw dropped. Well, yes that's alot but why again do these people have 80 GB iPods?
Well, movies. Okay, movies and TV shows. I've only got one full movie, The Dark Knight, on my iTunes along with 6 short video clips of free things I downloaded from the iTunes store (which I should probably delete right now to save space).
I just always have this urge when listening to the radio, a DJ, or a YouTube video to find out what the name of the song is so I can listen to it whenever I want. And I don't just listen to it. I learn it.
The other sad thing is that I also love buying CD's. I hated cassettes. I'd always been excited in the early 90's when I would see an infomercial for a compilation album on TV and they would mention you could buy it on 8 cassettes or 3 CD's. I always thought it was some futuristic medium to listen to music. "Wooowww!! I wish I had a CD player!" For some reason back then, my parents didn't see a need for one. That's why I was extremely excited when we got a huge stereo system with a cassette tape deck, mic hookups, radio, record player, and CD player.
But now, I just love having a CD in my hand. I love the feeling of opening it for the first time and the adrenaline of waiting for the 1st song to play once I pop it into my CD player.
I've always been so intrigued with music. It's been a huge part of my life so everytime I hear a song, no matter what genre, I can't help but listen to the structure of it. The bass line, the drum beat, the guitar solos, the lyrics, the chorus, the verses.
So, that's my addiction.

Marvelous blog. ^^
This was a great blog. And I'm right there with you. I get real edgy if I can't listen to some music to wind down at night.
