my ipod just got fried
 

fuck

i was charging my ipod through the night, then lightning struck and crashed my comp, erasing all of my 16000 tracks. talk about something to piss you off when you wake up. not a big deal cuz i casn just re load everything, but fuck, what a bitch.

Yeah, that kind of shit sucks. My 300 gig external hard drive fried and it took me like 8 months to get it fixed.

Word, that sucks.

Something similiar happened to my old computer about 5 years ago. Luckily I had most of my shit backed up on cd-r's but still.. a bitch.

yeah, the only thing that realy sucks is a ton of my songs i got off my friend/former band mate david's computer. a lot of grindcore, digital grindcore, industrial, screamo. anyways, a lot of good tunes. so, to get those back i have to use his computer again. problem is hes in tucson, im in boston. stil, very fixable, but very annoying.

Yeah, at least it still works. Mine has something physically wrong with the hard drive, a scratch or something. Anyway, it's gone.

I really don't care about my ipod, I dunno why I have one. I prefer CDs, at least they don't blow up at random inconvenient times.

My opinion is probably because I only ever listen to music in my room, so uhh there isn't much point in portability at my end.

I'm not even sure how this could happen. iPod connects through USB and if lightening fries Yr mobo then it shouldn't continue on through the USB.

Do reboot of ipod and then make sure the directory didn't just get fucked up somehow (look at it as a drive in yr file manager).

That really sucks. I use Podworks to backup the tracks on mine.

I lost about 6,000 tracks when my 1st notebook died. Luckily my tech was available to salvage about 3/4 of them.
I've dropped my ipod like 7 feet onto concrete while listening to it and after a reboot it was fine.
I listen to music on the go all the time and mine is like an extension of my being. Original silver cds rarely leave the shelf because it's a super pain in the ass to track them down if they're damaged or stolen. iPods, while more expensive, are available anywhere.

speaking of which; if anyone can upload me the following albums itd be greatly appreciated, these are at my apt in tucson and i simply cannot go 3 weeks without them:

drive like jehu-yank crime
mr. bungle-disco volante
big black-songs about fucking, atomizer
anal cunt-morbid florist

same, if im not socializing, i have headphones on. i need sound.

o, also:

sonic youth-silver sessions, tv shit


thanks

I'm telling you yr shit is still there. Lightening doesn't know how to over-write 1s and 0s.

Try reboot! Hold middle and top button of wheel at once.

Yeah, I'd try this. It's worked for me before.

didnt work, thanks though

napalm death-scum would also be appreciated
