This looks correct and very true.

Leafs seem way too high, tbh.

Getting to that point of the off season where I've completely forgotten where players have moved, aka Eberle is an Islander now.

It feels very hopeful as a Leafs fan to see the team getting positive predictions this year.

Until the 2016/2017 season they hadn't been legitimately decent since 2004. I'm not counting 2013 as they were frauds that year. Squeaking into the playoffs on a shortened season and then having one of the worst game 7 collapses in history to their hated rival.

It feels like I will finally be rewarded for my loyalty. Even if they don't win a Cup, I mean it would just be enough for me if they could be decent. At a minimum. To wash away the incompetence an failure of the previous 12 years.

Wow I completely missed that news.

Not sure it means much, but apparently Drouin has been centering Patches during their training scrimmages.

I don't believe you, I heard it was crap

I finished it last night. Really liked it, but the end was rough. Could've used some fine tuning.

On episode five and still really enjoying it. It even makes Iron Fist more likeable...at least more understandable as a character.
They basically go all in on calling him out for being a dumbass, so he becomes a likeable punching bag.

I like it so far. Only on the 3rd episode though.

God he's terrible. And I didn't even watch Iron Fist but he's the worst part.

I started turning the corner on him at the end of episode three and the start of episode four.

That's good to hear. Though I think the actor might also be bad.

I do like the look of the show and how the lighting changes colour based on the characer they are focusing on.

You know why I love iTunes?

Because when I re-import all my music back to iTunes from my external hard (as in back onto my computer) drive it doesn't register some albums EVEN THOUGH I LITERALLY RIPPED THE CD THROUGH iTUNES TO BEGIN WITH. Instead of having the track name, artist, album, genre as it always does. Several records only show up as the track names (not the actual title if you click on the details in the properties. If you are confused look up a track of yours that has a question mark as part of the name. You will notice the name of that file will not have a question mark as the OS refuses such characters as "names". But if you go into the properties of the track you will find under "title" the actual track name which every media player in the world goes to and understands is the actual track name) and the artist.

Unacceptable. No way am I manually fixing and editing this crap in iTunes. I checked Windows Media Player and somehow that program understands EVERY SINGLE thing and how it is named in my music folder. 100%. But iTunes the freaking thing Apple obsesses over can't do the most basic thing right? Like I would semi understand if I had some pirated albums or ripped a CD through another program. But literally albums that were ripped on iTunes are doing this to me. Check it out.

Normal as it should be:

Do you let iTunes organize your files? There's a checkbox for that in the settings menu. If so, there's a library file in the iTunes folder in your Music folder (by default). It basically lets you keep information how you set it, as well as play count, so when you re-import your library back into it, everything is the same. In a lot of cases, you just pick the library file and it'll read all the files for you.

iTunes annoys the piss out of me. :-/ Think I'm going with Android or back to good ol' Blackberry with my next phone. They still make those? And do they still have physical keyboards?

"You'll get used to the virtual keyboard and will be able to type faster on it in time" is a goddamn lie.

Hmm... Your suggesting I place all my music folders into the iTunes folder? I can do that and see what happens.

Just to be clear. This is me adding music after doing a full factory setting system restore some time ago.I had every piece of music I own backed up on my external. I simply then copied all my backups and placed them back into the standard "My Music" folder that Windows nicely prepares for you.
Of course the iTunes folder is there too within the "My Music" folder.

Don't put it all in the iTunes folder. Keep the actual files where they currently are.

Look for a library file in the iTunes folder (which is in the My Music folder) and load that into iTunes.

Ha yeah I figured that out after testing one artist. No dice though. For whatever reason the albums that were giving iTunes trouble still continue to do so. Maybe I'll try to reinstall iTunes.
I mean worst case scenario I'll just manually correct some of the albums. *sigh*.

And yeah Spotify is awesome. But it doesn't have everything. Like the Killing Joke album from which this beast of a song came from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RayoXtbQasg

I only have "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" checked, and all I do when I need to reformat is to transfer the My Music folder onto a drive, then copy the contents back when it's all done.

iTunes either automatically reads the library file in the iTunes folder, or it asks me to load a library file and everything is back to normal.

I don't use iTunes much anymore because of Spotify, but I do still rummage through it once in a while.

You're not going to believe this. I was just messing around seeing what kind of loophole I could think up. Turns out I simply went into the files of an album. Select All and then properties. Rename the album by simply retyping the exact same name. Try to import then - - - iTunes pulls its head out of its ass and accepts it with the proper tagging. So dumb. But hey it worked. The only thing that is annoying is that it means I have to now pull out the external HDD and do the same thing there in case of future repeats like this. Or rather I'm just going to copy and replace these so called "renamed tag" albums.

Eh whatever. Technology. I love it but I hate it :)

EDIT: Derp. It actually isn't a guarantee that iTunes will play nice. Maybe I'll try to re edit more than just the album name in some cases.
EDIT 2: I found the secret. Rename the album something else at first and then rename it back to its original album title. Yeah for some reason this works. It's as if the file is being reborn I guess in the eyes of Lord iTunes.
