Dude, I rock! See what all those years of internet chat can do?

Change is inevitable. And frustrating as hell.

I am a creature of habit.  Blame it on my taurean nature, or the desire to create peace in a world of chaos, but I like my routines.  Turkeyboy and I leave the house each morning, I drop him off at preschool, and then I head to the same convenience store to get my crappychino mixed with Folgers French roast.  I come into work, turn on the computer, put my purse in the drawer, and take care of anything that needs immediate attention.  I sit down, log in, get my email going, and then start the tunes.

I’ve been a paying customer of Yahoo music for years now.  I have been pleased as punch for the entire time, downloading music to my phone to listen to by the pool, or to share with my daughter.  I listen to “my station” most of the day, interrupted by Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, or Sarah McLachlan albums.  I had heard the rumors that Yahoo music was going away, but I chose to remain in denial.

Until this morning.  I was faced with the choice to move my subscription to Rhapsody or just wave goodbye to my musical staple from my desk chair.  I MUST have music, so you know what I chose.

I’m not happy.  It seems like half of my playlists were imported, and the other half disappeared to the same place the Hamster Dance  now occupies – the internet graveyard.  But the one thing that is truly making me scowl is that it looks like I have lost probably four years of ratings.  I had the most awesome “my station,” and now it’s gone.  And did I mention that the song title and artist don’t display in the task bar like Yahoo did?

This is going to take some getting used to.
