going through my music and deleting anything i have even the slightest reservation about keeping. even if it's something i really like

i'm tired of having 6000 songs of which i regularly listen to like... 300?
it's not a lot! i don't need all this!!

i think years of being a fucking dipshit like "heh... yeah, i'm good at listening to music... just look at my incredibly large and varied library of mp3s" made me scared of ever deleting anything that i even slightly enjoy because it would make the number go down. i have brain prob lems

for me it's not even about number go up it's just like. i know for a fact one say i will be sitting around and some song that i haven't heard or thought about in over a decade will pop into my head and i will have an immediate need to listen to it six times in a row and then put it on five different playlists

i've deleted songs thinking surely i will never want to listen to this again in my life and then inevitably years later out of nowhere i go oh no why did i delete that song i was gonna listen to it again

i thought for sure i replied to this but uhhhhhh i guess not

honestly the idea that i'm gonna forget who sings a song is one of the biggest barriers to me ever deleting shit. it would drive me nuts to remember a part from a song but not enough to be able to look it up. but i'm just so tired of hitting shuffle on all my songs only to skip like 30 songs in a row. idk. feels like the only way to solve this issue is to stop shuffling my entire library and start listening to....... Albums
