20 random songs
 

set your itunes (or lesser mp3 player) to random and list the first 20 songs that come up, no matter how emberassing the song may be.

1. portishead "numb"
2. sunny day real estate "sometimes"
3. neko case "that teenage feeling"
4. modern life is war "john & jimmy"
5. death threat "as one we stand"
6. the smiths "cemetary gates"

Just the fact that it's mp3...makes it lesser !!

Unless you save it full file....;)

ha, somebody loves their velvet underground covers

itunes = shit.

absolutely


absolutely--well, at least it kinda is

well, not exactly shit but i really don't like it, the interface is stupid and it automatically rips songs as .m4a files which suck. besides it won't install on my windows millennium running 'putah.

i think he meant that any mp3 player other then an apple ipod is lesser, fuck an apple

I suppose Winamp and iTunes are both good, or at least better than most others. I don't use mp3 players on the computer or as a portable device anymore. I did back in 2002-3 though.:)

I got off those headphones, and into the surround sound.

1 deerhoof- hark the umpire
2 sunny day real estate- red elephant
3 sunny day real estate- j'nuh
4 canadians- find out your '60s (i think i have the album and song title messed up)
5 arms- jon the escalator
6 harlem shakes- disco 5000
7 sonic youth- schizophrenia
8 rapture- pieces of people we love
9 nervous cop- rice precipitation
10 joanna newsom- emily
11 neko case- that teenage feeling (SUCH a good song)
12 new pornographers- twin cinema
13 deerhoof- the perfect me
14 sonic youth- karen revisisted
15 les savy fav- yawn yawn yawn
16 bishop allen- ghosts are good company
17. shudder to think- resident wife
18. chin up chin up- i hope for tumbleweeds
19 ryan adams- to be the one
20 ted leo/rx- timorous me

You can actually change the auto rip to mp3, ACC, AIFF, or apple lossless.

Is there such a thing as a truly random track selection with these players?

I think that's why sites like last.fm were created. I don't know though, since I don't use those either.
