Yeah, I do the same thing -- I usually dump an entire new CD onto the iPod so I can listen while I'm dog walking etc., and a couple weeks later I edit the track list down. That gives each track a fair shot of adhering to my gray matter before it's discarded. <br /><br />Now that I've got an iPod cable for the car, I have to admit, the chances of me pulling out the physical CD again are slim to none. And yet, I still mostly buy hard copy CDs, and even if I download an album, I make a physical copy for backup. Still not willing to step off that cliff into cyberspace all the way!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-7804000336241552152010-04-01T04:07:52.602-07:002010-04-01T04:07:52.602-07:00I love me some Old 97's, since I spent most of...I love me some Old 97's, since I spent most of the 90's mired on alt.country bands. That is such a great song<br /><br />I'm not as choosy with my iPod, since I often stick unheard new stuff on it and listen while I work out. Next time I sync, I remove the unwanted songs. I sync often! <br /><br />I love this new feature!!!Hipsterhttp://Agedhipster.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-27151045948338206822010-04-01T03:42:06.232-07:002010-04-01T03:42:06.232-07:00Old 97's are such a good group...I stumbled up...Old 97's are such a good group...I stumbled upon "Fight Songs" at a used CD shop. The title intrigued me...and I was hooked! Way cool shuffle list, Ms. Holly!Mervapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-36751648624786178452010-03-31T21:58:57.472-07:002010-03-31T21:58:57.472-07:00I happen to be quite selective about what songs I ...I happen to be quite selective about what songs I put on my iPod. I try to edit every album down to 5 favorite tracks or less. There's only about a dozen albums I have included in their entirety, and that's mostly because I need the entire sequence (records like Sgt. Pepper's, that can't be broken up). I have only 150 Elvis songs, for instance, and . . .well, 365 Nick Lowe songs. That's mostly everything Nick has ever recorded -- he's my exception to every rule. I can only wish he'd been more prolific. <br /><br />Yeah, the shuffle does push some songs to the fore that might never get a full blog post otherwise. And when it's something I've already written about, that's an excuse to link back. <br /><br />I wish I understood the programming logic behind the shuffle. Sometimes the randomness of it is perplexing. Other times, it's amazing how fitting a shuffle series can be!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-13628917553166836252010-03-31T21:30:38.910-07:002010-03-31T21:30:38.910-07:00I just had an idea for a similar-themed post the o...I just had an idea for a similar-themed post the other day! I just have an ITouch, so it's not quite so exciting a mix, but I like getting a glimpse into random songs. And this way you're writing about songs that you might never choose to write about. How many Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello songs are on your IPod?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638783212215818291noreply@blogger.com
