How my iPod calms my obsessional personalty.

I have bipolar, and as such, suffer from persuaded obsessional behaviour problems. These span from checking my emails twenty times an hour, to how I organize my music.

The expedient I listen to music has changed with the times, and my methods of grouping keep again changed. Where once all my tune was filed alphabetically on records, tapes and cds, it is now all in folders on my iPod. I can listen to, and amass, seemingly unlimited amounts of music. Equally, there seem to be endless options as to how I can arrange said music.

However, on examination, my methods acquire remained similar. I used to cause mixed tapes ? spend hours hunting for, and selecting perfect tracks. The inspiration generally came from having listened to enough virgin congenial music that I was no longer gleeful with the old tapes.

Making a tape was always a precise and time consuming operation. Working away what would fit into ninety minutes, making trustworthy there were no gaps, no jerky starts, rewinding and checking. And I had endless rules. For example, I wouldn't put two tracks by the twin artist on the alike side, the best tracks had to be balanced out through both sides, and it was not acceptable to have a track pace out on the end of the side.

Now I am stuff of the iPod generation, I have playlists. Absent are the days of precision and commitment. On an iPod, any decision can be reversed, tracks can be added lovely yet instantaneously, and the single time borderline is the retention of the Ipod (which is no comparison with a ninety minute tape).

But, I all the more have my rules. I still arrange a latest playlist when I have a glut of fashionable music. The only asymmetry away is I get one overall playlist which everything gets added to. I don't delete my playlists. The identical idea I retain kept all my mixed tapes, my playlists are soundtracks to decided periods of my life. I further don't delete tracks from my lists. Once it has been committed, it stays. In the same plan with every mixed tape I made, there was one annoying track which I always wished I'd never added, the same is authoritative of my playlists. Whilst there is no logic to not deleting the offending track on my iPod, I never do.

However, because of the speed of production lists, there are now so several possibilities. I can make a list for every mood, for every eventuality. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed by the radius of options and sit in front of the computer, motionless, irrecoverable in sense over the next best kind way to tackle the classification of my music..
