Same for my music, when I tell folks that I have 10s of thousands of songs
on my Ipod (which is a fraction of my total music; .mp3, .ogg, .aac, .wav,
cds, vinyl, cassettes, and music I have created) they look at me askance.
Sparked by this convo I went rummaging through my media archives. The
other night I watched "The Fugitive" on dvd - 500 channels, and "On
Demand" and there was nothing I wanted to watch.

The next day I went through my old audio cassettes looking for something to
sample. Found a few tapes that were inaudible due to tape hiss and oxidation.

I did find one that I don't even remember making. I will archive it to cd - .mp3,
put it on my Ipod. I will also sample it, there are a few Hindi Hop, trip-hop,
and acid jazz songs I have been working on.
