...control freak about my music collection, and staying on top of it is getting harder and harder. It was bad enough, a couple of years ago, trying to alphabetize a couple of hundred CDs. But then, like a lot of kids my age, I started doing Napster. Seven hundred downloads later, my collection is hopelessly Balkanized. To listen to a Moby track, I can stick a CD on the stereo.
