Tough choices

[rikibeth]

I 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.

On-the-go playlist is too much work. I tag the "skip this" tracks with a one star rating, it's faster (I don't use ratings otherwise). I just deleted a PILE of screamo crap that way.

In theory, OTG is pressing... one of the button positions... top? center? for 3 seconds or so, while starring things is 2 clicks, a careful turn, and a click, no?

(I use 1 star for "broken, re-rip", 2 for I don't care if I don't hear this for a very long time, and never really figured out how to use 3-5. :)

Right, but I am not sure when it decides that the on-the-go list should be reset, and I actually use it for its on-the-go function when we do Road Trip All Request Hour, and don't want to get the Request Hour selections mixed up with the "kill" list.

It resets the On-the-Go list when you plug into the computer... and then that list gets transfered to your playlists in iTunes. So it's never really lost unless you delete it yourself.
