I have to wear blinders when going record shopping because I'm constantly putting misplaced CDs back where they belong.  | |

Do you need to pull off exactly 12 sheets of toilet paper from the roll before doing the wipe? | |

I love shuffle because I love not knowing what's going to be played next. It reminds me of listening to the radio when it used to be good. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Shuffle is the BUSINESS. 
I make Smart Playlists such as an all "Electronic" shuffle, "00's Jukebox" with songs from 2000 to now, "Independent" with nothing but just indie/obscure stuff, "Summer" shuffle, "_Run_Mix_", etc. It's basically self-programmed radio with no annoying disc jocks or advertisements. | |

The day I got an iPod 6 years ago was the day I said goodbye to radio. Like Mara, I make a lot of playlists of songs that would sound good shuffled together. As far as shuffle vs. album, it depends on my mood. I've been in an album phase lately, but I think that's subsiding."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Man, I don't want to hear free jazz at certain parts of the day. I can't use shuffle. | |

sextonseven said: the home made comps I play have had lots of thought (I'm talking weeks) put into what the specific order of the songs should be--taking into account instruments, melody, beats per minute, and overall style of the aritsts. Only after all those are factored into the mix, can I make a final playlist. Songs shouldn't be allowed to roam willy-nilly amongst each other with the press of a shuffle button. No wonder the earth is in such sad shape today.
 Sometimes I play your comps in shuffle mode. | |

Just make different playlists and shuffle those. You could also just designate which songs you don't want to include in shuffle. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I love the progression, especially live Tori CD you gave me.  But to be honest, I become complacent listening to songs in the same order. If I mix them up, I hear different things in them and they strike me a different way. | |

Music is meant to be heard and appreciated--not used as some kind of background noise to cover up silence. Unless it's muzak. | |
