As I may have mentioned before, I’m apparently a Brown alumni.. So this is the kinda crap I get in my inbox. Is it spam if they think you’re someone else? I also apparently work in Germany as a lab researcher and volunteer for the fire dept. in North Carolina. I know.. I’m very busy. ———- Forwarded message ———- From: Alpert Medical School Events Date: Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 11:43 AM Subject: INVITATION | The Eleventh Annual Barnes Lectureship To: [image: BarnesLecture_e-flyer FINAL.jpg]
This is so awesome and makes Google voice so much more useful.

itunes is great, don’t get me wrong, but I use linux at home 99.99% of the time. Lately all I boot into windows for on my main rig is to sync my ipod with itunes. I already have the songs rated and smart playlists and straight playlists setup, it seems I’m married to itunes. I really like Banshee and have my whole library in there as well, just no ratings or playlists. I know I can sync my ipod with Banshee but without all the other stuff, it’s pointless.
I knew someone must have had the same dilemma I did when it came to switching, so I did a google search and came across this wonderful post By Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp Converting from iTunes to Banshee – Contentment.
I’m running the perl script right now to convert my itunes library to Banshee, then I’ll swiftly recreate my smart playlists, and be on my way.
EDIT:
Looks like I jumped the shark, New in Banshee 1.5.2 itunes Import.
This must be considered child abuse.
Maybe it’s the rant of a fairly new parent.. Perhaps I don’t understand their plight…
You know? The suffering of a mother that must have their child in a matching jumpsuit..
I can’t believe the emails I get anymore..

This is pretty terrifying when you realize all the work they’ve accomplished in just 12 months. What will they do in the next 12 months is anyone’s guess. Buy more companies, revolutionize operating systems like they have with browsers? Ha ha, not likely. Have you seen Chrome OS, i’d rather use windows NT, I’ll keep my Ubuntu thank you. Or will Google take all our emails and personal information and post it on a website as a big fuck you, and then move to their secret moon base. I’m sure they will just grow as a company and come out with some more products we can’t live without, further their development on Android and Chromeish things, continue to poorly transcribe my voice mails for me and hopefully expand their Data Liberation Front to lull us into a sense of peace.
I must of course end this with, well we know where sky net will come from. 😉
