Playing On KHELP radio (where the hits just keep on coming...bam...bam...BAM!) tonight is:

Remedy--Black Crowes

I don't care for a lot of Black Crowes stuff but that song rules.

So, let's talk music, shall we? As I putter through the work day (and the rest of the day, for that matter) the underlying foundation is music, music, music! It's always playing in the background...or foreground when I have my headphones on.

Im all over the map with my taste in music. About the only genre I dont like is rap (although I have a few of those songs too). Otherwise, Im there, dude.

The Mr. Helpful music collection resides on my Windows machine. Ive gone through and digitzed 250 cds, 400 cassette tapes and 600 albums (geez, can you tell what era Im from?). Plus Ive bought a fair share of songs online.

This means Ive got just over 6,000 songs on my computer at the current time. That doesnt represent every song on all that other media...I actually went through every album, every cassette and every CD and digitized only the songs I like. The CD's were fairly easy...I just ripped the songs as they appeared on my screen. But the albums and cassettes were a different matter altogether. I had to capture every single song in real time. Needless to say, it took me a LONG time to create this library. Yeah, I know. I need a life.

Right now Ive got about half of my library on my MP3 player.

So how about you? How do you store and listen to your music?
