Edinburgh Man #91

Pick. Scan. Edit. Return. Pick. Scan. Edit. Return... I've been cataloguing my vinyl for the last week. I downloaded a cool iPhone app called MyStuff2 (I'm not sure if the 2 is important or not... I wonder what the first one was like...). The reason for this organisation is because I've been known to accidently buy albums that I already have. In theory it should be easy, but this sort of thing never really is. About a third of the albums seem to pre-date barcodes, and the ones that do have them always come back with weird capitalisation, or "[VINYL]" appended to the end of the names. Most of the time is spent editing the information that the barcode scanning is supposed to make automatic. Add to that the odd record label (Song, by Toad, I'm looking at you) whose barcodes refuse to scan. Damn this technology. Anyway, I've just finished it! And in the process discovered I've lost my original pressing of "Paul's Boutique" by The Beastie Boys (£20 on eBay) but gained an extra copy of "Definitely Maybe" by Oasis (up to £65 on eBay). So at least we're in the black. Unfortunately... I've still got the 7-inch singles to tackle...
