Just wondering, cause i've got loads. Those sad CD's you've put in your CD tray and loaded to it, but never bothered to listen to.

You might well have played the CD at some point, but never clicked play on the ipod.

Why did i put them on? why are they there? Am i alone with this phenomenon?

pretty much prince concert random mambo jambo...i gues cuz alot of those are not properly named, or horribly tracked. or i just wasnt into the concert, i dunno...

i got too excited when i fould out about that...place and i downloaded like crazy.

oh, i know there's plenty. i put a bunch of CDs on my iPod that i checked out from the library and i don't even remember what they were, lol. whenever i do a wrecka stow run and get a pile of CDs, these days i rip them to my iPod before i give them a spin in my stereo, and i know there are a fair number of albums i haven't even listened to yet which have been neatly filed into my music collection. it's insane, but what can ya do.

Curiously bootlegs get a lot of play on mine, but then mine are organized.

New Power Soul and the usual poorly rated P albums are yet to get a full play. Jamiroquai doesn't fare too well on mine, there are a few Greatest hits compilations that i've not been arsed to play.

Some others with 0 plays

Xtina (her new hits comp)
Michael Jackson (!) (BOTDF)
John Lee Hooker (Hits comp)
Jackie Wilson (Hits comp)
Funkadelic (!) (Several albums)
Janet (!) (Several albums)
TTD (Hits comp and a couple of albums)
James Brown (Dynamite X) cause it's crap.

Loads more. I dunno why they are there!

I got a download of 80 songs from my university and I never listen to them. Ever.

So. Why are they there? why do we keep music onboard that never gets listened to? i feel like a squirrel hoarding nuts then forgetting where they are!

to be honest, i keep random stuff like that in my iPod because it makes the shuffle play function more fun. every once in a while i'll be running around listening to shuffle, and i'll be like "WTF is THAT?!?" and it'll be something i totally forgot i added. it's a sneaky way i have of forcing myself to check out new music.

That pretty much sounds like me, I get cd's from the library and rip them, and thats about the end, but I'm just the type who collects music, and I get around to it eventually. It may take a while, but I'll get around to it.

i never bother with the shuffle function. i found it jarring when i did. i like to get in a zone, put an album on and enjoy, once its on i don't tend to skip songs either.

sometimes it's jarring, sometimes it isn't. sometimes i'm amazed at the playlists my iPod will put together on shuffle play, and sometimes i even write some of the song sequences down for use on compilations for people. usually though, it hits the spot when i wanna listen to music but i have no idea what. hey, i know...i'll listen to everything i own at the same time!
