We bought a 320 Gb external hard drive. Great news, right? We can start storing the 50 gigs or so on music and pictures I have on here on the drive. Well, there was an unforseen hitch.
I dragged the contents of the My Music folder onto the drive.
What I expected to happen was what happened beofre when I'd delete the original of a movie, but left its file name in iTunes: It stays on my iPod, but not on the computer. Well, when I moved the iTunes folder, it didn't just leave empty file names in iTunes, waiting for me to link them to the actual files.
It erased everything out of the library.
I still have all the files, but I have no playlists, no organisation, no nothing. Oh, and those aforementioned movies that I'd deleted from the harddrive? They'll remove themselves the minute I plug my iPod into the computer.
Modern fucking technology, eh?

At least you didn't have Koots there hanging over your shoulder.
I'd preach the evils of iPods and their unnecessary interface known as iTunes, but I think it'd be a bit redundant at this point.
Besides, I think I already did so when you told me this story in person. Heh.
