I just want everyone to know that I need to organize my music files on my computer, and it is going to be an extensive process. I think it is honestly part of the Level III GIM process. I dislike sitting at the computer for long stretches, but I do like organizing. It can be hard to begin projects and follow through on them, especially when they feel daunting and overwhelming. There are MANY existing GIM programs, and any piece of music can be used in MI or GIM. I'd like to have a wide selection of music available, and to know this music well enough to understand when it would be helpful for a client. I have many of the programs on CD or downloaded, but the files are not in a convenient location for me to get to know them as I would like. I could upload everything to spotify or apple music, which might help. I think I need my music in a cloud, too, as I sometimes work from two different computers. I find that in today's world, working on a computer is so overstimulating that completing projects becomes very overwhelming. That or I do not like to focus on a computer. Either way, let's set some goals and accomplish them! I may crowd source some ideas of which program my colleauges prefer for organization between GIM programs, song files, and music pools. I want to set a goal of uploading the GIM program files to a program, but I am torn between Spotify, which I use for personal music listening, but find the interface annoying and distracting/overstimulating, or switching to apple music or another program which I am less familiar with. Having the programs and music pools in the same place I would search for a song to stream feels appealing, but I am not sure if there is a good combination there.
