itunes
i copied my cd collection to my computer and ran wires from my mac through my office wall to the stereo. we had previously put speakers in my office so i could listen to the stereo. that was a christmas present from alisa years ago. god, i love that woman. anyway, itunes worked great. except i managed to copy some of the cds twice. and itunes' user interface for removing them is just wacky. it also seems to be moving the files around wherever it feels like they should be instead of the way i want them to be. booger. and last, the right speaker kept dropping out. i'd go push a button on the stereo (any button) and everything would be better. pah. finally traced it to a bad connection in the new wires. got out the soldering iron and fixed it.
