Has anyone tried to make their own Deluxe playlist of Prince's albums in iTunes/Windows Media Player and if so which songs did you use for each album?.

Mine is in "Disc 2".

I never mess with released format.

Actually, I lie. I've only done that with COME and kept the original setlist with Interactive and Endorphinemachine and finishing off with Strays. With Come and Letitgo as an added track.
