Negative ghostrider, the pattern is full

I was browsing the iTMS this morning in search of some new music, when I came across a new release by Joshua Radin. I had sampled an EP of his last year and have had an eBay search set up ever since, but to no avail. After listening to the snippets of his latest album I decided I couldn't wait, I had to have it now. A couple of clicks later it was downloaded and has been played almost continually ever since.

The problem came when I tried to upload it onto my iPod, the update version was pretty old and it wouldn't let me transfer the songs. I'd been thinking of updating it to a Mac version for a while, so now was as good a time as any. The thing is, I don't keep all of my music on the PowerBook, which meant transferring all of my cd's again or calling on the services of The Little App Factory and their iPodRip software. I decided for option two.

A couple of hours later I'd transferred everything from the iPod back to the Mac, updated it and then uploaded everything back again. So easy.
