The glory of random
OK, so call me a follower, but after the recent Wired article about shuffle play in MP3 software and iPods, I started thinking. There were a bunch of great ideas on a linked page, so I’ve put some of them to use. Now, a lot of them will require more meta data than I currently have (ratings, for example, or ubiquitous date stamps). Even so, I’ve been having a grand time with nothing more than the play count meta data.
Since Friday, I’ve been working on an Unplayed playlist. It’s great; guaranteed new music! I have a lot of fantastic stuff I never hear, and what better way to find out about it? I’m down to 2805 songs right now, or 7.6 days of music.
At this rate it won’t last long. :-)
Oh, yeah, and this is post #100. Woohooo!
