From Wired: iPod Shuffle's Vanishing Music
I've been pretty proud of my 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle. It looks great, it weighs nothing and it clips on my shirt-tail. But it also ate a few dozen of my favorite songs from iTunes, and I can't find a culprit. Is it a new bug or an existing problem?

I don't know where the songs went but I am willing to bet they went to the same place as the missing sock from the dryer.
Glad to see you’re one guy that believes in the sock-eating dryer. Now can you convince my husband?
The missing sock phenomenon is right up there with mysteries of quantum physics in my book.
Hey, quantum physics is cool!
I think washers are more likely to eat clothes. Most are essentially a bucket within a bucket with not much connecting them, and you know that spin cycle can be crazy. Something as small as a sock is going to go up over the top of that inner bucket and to the bottom of the other and you probably won’t take it apart to look for things in there. 🙂 Probably by the time a washer dies, the sock will have been washed into lint.
Hmmmm… The washer theory. I like it!
