As I've Reached 5,000 Songs
My new iPod can hold about 40,000 songs, so I've got a ways to go (which I'll never reach since I still don't indiscriminately download every CD I own). But this first milestone is worth writing about. Here are some fun facts about the artists in the list of 5,000. There are 194 artists on my iPod with five or more songs.
