Eons ago, I saw a page on David Weinberger's site, somewhere I can't remember where, where he lists some pre-emptive trademarks and words he thinks (not seriously) will become future trademarks, presumably so that he makes lots of money selling them, or something sinister like that. Not that David could ever be associated with anything sinister.

Soon, maybe about 5 years from now, we'll all be using HiFi's with massive storage capacities in which our entire music collections will exist. By then we'll probably all be used to downloading songs instead of purchasing on CD or DVD's. But, and it's a big but, at some point many of us will need to go through the tediously tiresome process of uploading our current CD audio collections to these new devices before we can listen to them.

We need a new word or verb to describe that process, it's just too complicated to have to describe to someone, it needs to be shortened down to a single word so that people will understand what we mean when we say

"Sorry, I can't come over today, I'm [INSERT WORD HERE] and it'll probably take me a few hours."

So, what's it gonna be? Something that covers the whole process of gathering up your entire CD music collection, sorting them into the correct cases, uploading them into your new GigaPlayer one by one, naming them (your GigaPlayer will probably be able to index and name them for you) and setting up your playlists etc. I have a couple of hundred CD's sitting waiting, I'm not looking forwards to the day I need to migrate them across. Thinking about it, the same thing really applies to uploading all your DVD's, MP3's, VHS and other home videos and not forgetting your digital photograph collection too.

So what do we call it?

Bindexing, Bibliocratization, Dumping Down, Digital Consolodation, Gigaloading, Media Unification, Media Federalization (Med-Fed)?
