The social media is a lot like Ancient Egypt... writing on walls and worshipping cats.

Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.

Not sure if I believe it or not.
TECHNOLOGY RANT So I had a brilliant idea that if I can't preserve or restore "Date Added" to my iTunes collection, I could try a different file copy method than I had previously used that would then preserve "Date Modified", and then I could just sort my "recent music" smart playlist on that. Smart, huh?

Turns out you can sort a playlist on "most recently added", "most often played", "most recently played", but not "most recently modified". Holy living fuck, why do they make this impossible? Is it such a vanishing minority of people who A. like to listen to their recent music more and B. change computers that it's a bizarre thing to want?

I've found 3 or 4 potential ways to potentially keep this sort order, and Apple has thwarted all of them. Damn.

Think Different my ass.
