I'll admit it was a problem that I had created myself: I had moved my iTunes library from one computer to another. Then I tried syncing it across two computers. Add in a bunch of music from SXSW, along with other music given to me along the way, and before I knew it, my iTunes library was a 160GB mess. Worse, it was overwhelming. I never listened to any music because i knew that I was going to be frustrated by duplication and a bunch of songs that I didn't enjoy.
So a few weeks ago I declared iTunes bankruptcy. I moved my ~/Music/iTunes library to my Desktop. I launched iTunes while holding down the option/alt key on my Mac and created a new library. It was completely empty, and full of possibility.
