Just goes to show the danger of everyone putting 12,000 songs on their sodding ipods
An annoying woman on the radio said she'd put all her cds on her ipod then SOLD THEM ALL as she didn't think she needed them anymore. Then, as you've guessed, lost it all off the ipod. I like to think that the universe decided to punish her for her idiocy. She told this story as part of a "what a crap week I've had" diatribe - oh, how I laughed and laughed.
Not that I'm suggesting the topic starter is stupid, rather I'm underlining the eggs-in-one-basket nature of ipods.
