According to my iTunes, if I hit play right now and left it running for 14.4 days, I wouldn't hear the same song twice (nearly 5200 songs). But if I ventured a guess I would say I don't listen to more than 300 of them on a regular basis.
So I'm going to try something, a sort of music experiment. During this deployment I'm not going to listen to the same thing twice. It won't be difficult, because in reality I'll listen to approximately an hour a day while I'm in the gym, and maybe a bit at night before bed. Even if that's 100 albums, I'll barely be scratching the surface.
We've talked about music management in the past... are you guys still using iTunes? How much music do you have loaded? Are you still buying CDs? I'm still pretty "hands on" with my iTunes. I still rate music, and I still like to make sure that every song or album has associated cover art. I know, I'm crazy. I do buy CDs occasionally, but not new. The CDs (and tapes) that I buy are from thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales. I rarely buy new music at all, but if I do it's digital. When I started buying digital, I would burn a CD as back up in case my hard drive ever bit the dust, but I haven't done that for awhile. For being a bit of a technology geek, you would think that I back up my computer, but I don't. That's pretty bad, huh?
So what are you guys listening to these days? I just finished listening to Outkast's The Love Below. Mostly garbage. I'm not even sure how it's on my iTunes. Maybe it's one of those CDs I bought at a garage sale.
