Just got two CDs [1 2] from Second Spin. Since I don’t actually listen to CDs anymore, the first thing I did was rip them.

The next thing to do, of course, was transfer them to my iPod. I really (really really) didn’t want to boot my laptop into Windows, and it’s my only computer with firewire. For some reason, wine isn’t working for me at the moment, so I couldn’t run EphPod from Linux either. So after a little bit of searching, I found gnuPod. It’s basically a bunch of Perl scripts that let you (me) add and delete songs from the iPod in Linux. Awesome.

I now have no excuse for not finally getting rid of Windows from my laptop altogether. That’ll probably happen this weekend. I can’t wait to reclaim that whole 2gb of space. 🙂

I found this while browsing around the other day. It’s pretty old, but it’s hilarious, and worth a visit.
