My iPod is better than my phone: repair, new SSD, and managing songs with Linux

A new iPod has entered my life, and I'm excited to start using it with Rhythmbox. But first, I need to clean it up and install this awesome DosLab solid state drive and new Atomic Purple front pane...

I still listen to mp3 and flacs (younger folks who still know what that means think I'm crazy) so this is actually really cool. Might try it soon

I’ve never been able to replicate my music discovery and listening habits that I had with the iPod. I’d download entire albums and listen to them all the way through. Sometimes I’d listen to an album 5 times and it wouldn’t click. Then some random day I’d hear it again and I’d realize every song was genius. I loved loading that thing with new albums.

Now, with streaming I just kind of drift around from one song to the next. I find some good stuff, but my approach feels less systematic and I don’t really have a good grasp on which artist are which. Sometimes the recommendations just all sound the same and I don’t really get to go through all the songs in an album. It’s less about building a music collection that’s yours and more like listening to the radio.
