It’s not quite as bad as pictured, but my 80GB iPod Classic bought the farm the other day. No picture, no power, no nuthin. I went to forums and reviwed troubleshooting guides from Apple and others. I made an appointment at the Genius Bar. The dude played with it for about 12 seconds and then handed me a replacement. Data (67GB)– Gone.

That’s fine, I’ve got everything backed up in various places. So this will have some differences compared to the music on the old (and inartfully named) Progpod. The MpomyPod will feature less Dead. I love them enough to commit to rotate stock. I’ll just start at the beginning of Dick’s Picks and keep no more the one or two set on the MpomyPod at a time. That will free up LOTS of space.

Some of the old stuff is making a comeback. That’s especially true with the fusion and the Clapton. I may even have to get the Derek and the Dominoes Fillmore Concert. Contains the longest known version of ‘EC’s Let It Rain’ (about 1/2 hour).
