March Downloads
Weird month. First half of the month emusic was throwing courtesy credit at me like crazy as a substitute for addressing my download manager problems. And I had some booster pack left that was going to expire. So crazy amount of emusic stuff given that I'm on a 3 albums-ish a month subscription (though a couple of them were helped out by an album-only track being available singly at Amazon). Second half of the month, I've been using Lent as a good psychological frame to exercise some restraint (not a lenten exercise per se as I'm not sure it really has a God-ward aspect, but lent is a useful prompt) - no downloads except for use-it-or-lose-it credits until after Easter. (I've been pretty good - most of the stuff below is from before Lent started). A fruit of this is I have spent a lot of time organizing and listening to past acquisitions. And a result of that is that the "date added" column in iTunes is all messed up because so much stuff got re-tagged and (re-)added to the library (I still find that in quite a few cases the only way to make iTunes list an album correctly, even when all tag fields have been harmonized, is to remove and re-add it. It's really annoying that the date added field is not editable.) So the records for March are murky.
