Today as I was typing my long paper, my mood was to hear something slightly different, so I started looking for stuff that I had not heard in a while in my itunes library. Turns out that there are some songs that have not seen airplay on my desktop since 2005 (I might have heard them since, but not from this platform). I was surprised by that. It seems to indicate that I’m listening more to the playlists I made than to the random song selection available in the program, especially since the genius feature was introduced. Just for statistics sake my current library seems to have about 3500 songs, but this was smaller then (probably by a factor of 1.5 to 2).
Here are the bottom two songs:
The good news is that I’m not embarrassed to show them to you.
I think you should be embarrassed that you haven’t listened to Closer to the Heart since 2005.
Hi Sean:
I haven’t heard it on this platform… but I probably have in other devices. The thing is I can’t remember how long ago it has been.
On the other hand, the song that most airplay has seen so far is “Crucify” by Tori Amos. I like that song a lot, but not as much as “Precious Things” (the live version) or “Spark”.
Judging by the title of the first video, I was looking forward to listen to a nice song by Rush. So I optimistically clicked at the “play” button but instead of Limbaugh, I got some crazy hippies – did you misspell the URL?
Analogously, I expected to learn what I can do, hey, to have LED diodes on my airship, and all what I got were another bunch of hippies…
Concerning nice songs by Rush, I like his Chinese rap:
I created a pair of smart playlists: “Least Played” and “Last Played”
The former based on play count, the latter based on last played date. Helps for those times when you think, “What haven’t I listened to in a while?”
