Indeed. Guitars are great and all that, but come on...

I'm down for the 100th Anniversary Jam in 2075! I'll be 109 years old and still posting boobie pictures and still not playing guitar.

IIRC, they are sized very small, so a "large" would be a medium or smaller.

Yeah, whatever, but I want that Strat!

No need to apologize. I appreciate the attempt to help out. Yeah, except there are over 50 playlists with at least a dozen songs in each. I would have to manually pick over 600 songs one-at-a-time to recreate each playlist. Should I quit my job?? Never mind. I don't have a job. I'm a patient man, but not that patient. So, I have decided to bite the bullet and sign up for Apple Music. It's $10.99/month (which makes me wanna vomit), but the first 2 months are free. I'll try it out for free and see how it works. If it works for me the way I need it to, I'll keep it and write it off of my taxes, since it is a necessity for me to teach. The only other option is to switch to an iPhone, which isn't the end of the world, but it's also not free...

So I've spent the last few hours diving into these links, the programs featured, and the "How To" points listed. They are all either... Not accurate, due to older versions of iTunes depicted, particularly since it hasn't been called "iTunes" for years Not applicable - the How To points refer to the subscription level of Apple Music. The options are limited for those refusing to pay a subscription. Not necessary. One app helps you transfer files from your computer to your phone, which is easily accomplished with just a USB cable. No app is needed for that. The other app is free to download, but $115 to actually use it. Yeah, no. So, I'm still no closer to where I want to be. It's hard to argue with the Apple hate when you run into shit like this.

Thanks, @scottcald I'll check them out.

Songs were either ripped from CDs or purchased via Amazon, Band Camp, etc. Either way, they're mine now.

So, here's my situation: I teach yoga several times a week and I have ~50 one hour song lists assembled for classes. Also I have several song lists for my workouts, runs, etc. Along with that is the 10,000 or so songs in my iTunes/Apple Music inventory. Lots of this was assembled back when I had an iPhone (for work) and, of course working in concert with the Mac computer was seamless. Fast Forward to present day. I no longer have an iPhone (as I no longer have a job) and as we all know, Apple does not like to play nice with others, specifically Android phones. Sure, you can use Apple Music on your Android phone with a monthly subscription, but I'll be damned if I pay Apple every month to listen to music that I already own. So this is what I need: I need an application that will allow me to import all of my music, create playlists, and load those playlists to be loaded/imported onto my Android phone. Important points: App must be free. Free to download and not subscription based. App must work with Android (obviously) App can be Mac or Windows based Let's hear it, HFC Experts!

"I'll spare you the blah blah." Well said.

"Playing" isn't the word I would use, honestly. It was more pick one up, noodle a little bit, realize that I suck, have the inner dialogue about how I wasted so many years not practicing or playing with other (actual) musicians), regret picking it up in the first place, and then hang it back up. As for the "difference," if there is one, it's a subtle one. In my case I lost interest in the instrument itself and got real with myself about the prospect of it ever being worth my time going forward. In @zorrow's case, he realized he's lost interest in a couple of his instruments and he'd rather see them played by someone who would get the enjoyment out of them that he wishes he did. Either way, their days are numbered.

Enough of the "thread shaming" and back to the topic at hand... Once your head lets these thoughts or realizations in, it's hard to go back. Ask me how I know. I described my guitar hording a while back as being akin to big game trophy hunting. Hanging all of those guitars on my wall looked cool as fuck, but it was a constant reminder to me that I wasn't playing anymore, and all of those wonderful instruments hanging there collecting dust weren't helping anyone. What started out as a hope that the guitar being out of the cases and in my face would inspire me to play actually backfired miserably. Once that light bulb lit in my brain, it never went out.

Some did, some were med/large. It’s a crapshoot.

I agree it looks like an import, mostly because of the lack of wrapper goodness. That's just one of the reasons why I don't like it. "Special Junior" is actually the model name, but no one on the planet calls them that.

No wrapper, no Junior.

That is troubling.

Around 1989 a girl sidled up to me at a local watering hole and asked me what my sign was. I was so put off by what was already an incredibly passé question that I told her, “No Parking.” My buddy standing on my left asked me WTF was wrong with me, and I just told him that it would have never worked out.

The guitar equivalent of “It beats a poke in the eye.” On second thought, poke me in both eyes. It did before they made what is essentially what an epileptic fit would look like if it was a guitar.

I honestly can’t find anything about it that I like.

WTF were they thinking?
