Re: Re: Loud Park

I realize now I failed to include any negative comments in my earlier Loud Park reports. That was probably partly due to positive bias caused by the immediate post-show high, but I like to think my choices about which acts to watch also had something to do with it. However, as is always the case with festivals, there were some problem areas:

  1. Sound Mix Problems: Although Loud Park @ Saitama Super Arena is generally known for its excellent sound, this year the mix for the bands on one of the two stages, the Big Rock stage, had problems.

Loud Park

The second day of Loud Park is always a bit more of a challenge for us middle-age fans; the first day tends to drain your energy and focus, in the very least leaving you in the twin pains of the hangover and the “bangover” (extreme neck pain).  I mostly side-stepped these problems by drinking moderately and blowing off the morning acts to sleep in and recuperate ( Sorry, Periphery, I was walking my dog when you hit the stage!).

Loud Park

Just got back from the first day of Loud Park. You may know that Manowar cancelled their headline spot due to a fire that delayed their gear’s arrival. However, the big story of the day was how unnecessary Manowar is.

iTunes Match was my first inclination, but I have two concerns.  Are they legitimate?:
  1. The limit on the iCloud is 25,000 songs.  My iPod currently has nearly 23,000 songs (nearly 100% ripped from CDs).  Is this a long-term solution?  I haven’t seen anything about how to pay for more space on iCloud.

Re: Re: Re: Help!

Thanks for the fast responses, guys.  This is a bit of an emergency for me!  Zig, I listen to my tunes on an iPod Classic (’cause I’m a classic!) on headphones and on a Bose iPod speaker stand.  I mostly listen to music on headphones and would like to preserve the option to keep my entire library mobile (my commute is an hour one way).

Help!

Dear Zig and Arse:

I need some urgent tech advice.  My 160GB iPod is now full.  I don’t use any streaming services and hate new formats. The only solution I’ve come up with is to get a MacBook Air (256GB) and use it as an iPod.  Is there any other way I can keep my entire iTunes library mobile?
