Tough choices

rikibethI am approaching capacity on PopTart, my 30G iPod.
I am going to have to start deciding what doesn't need to be on there.
And this is AFTER deleting NIN's "Ghosts I-IV" (because, frankly, it SUCKED, and while it can stay on the hard drive, I don't need to carry it with me) and everything that's come up on shuffle featuring the Cookie Monster Death Metal Voice (screamo crap), because I've been tagging those with a one-star rating so I can delete them.
How would YOU go about deciding what didn't need to stay on there?
ETA: Cleaning up the duplicates gave me another GB of room without having to lose variety. My entire collection still fits in my pocket.

Srsly, what to delete? Especially since I prize the ability of Shuffle to give me things I barely know.

failing that, uh, yeah...it might be upgrade time. poptart 2.0! woo!

Date: 2008-06-19 11:36 pm (UTC)I am now attempting to sort and delete duplicates, and telling myself that I am NOT likely to listen to the Warped compilations AS ALBUMS on PopTart, so it's okay to delete things I have elsewhere from those lists, even if, were I to play the Warped compilations as albums, those would probably be the things I liked best.
