              Those links died, Inca, and I posted on that thread (passim) because I couldn't get hold of that song.

                    I've just removed most of my music from my work computer, but this is what I get:

                    High and Dry (Radiohead Cover) - amanda Palmer
                    Don't Sniff Coke [Sounds of Science] - Pato Banton
                    Got To Get You Into My Life - Earth, Wind, & Fire
                    Put on Train [What Comes Around] - Gene Harris
                    Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys - The Equals

                    So, basically Paul's Boutique songs, Beatles Covers, and the Face/Head OTF mixes.

                          Just a related point regarding the shuffle function: does anybody else get fed up with it after a little while and have a craving to listen to a full album?

                          To me, using the shuffle most of the time is like experiencing an endless succession of sugar rushes as opposed to a satisfying meal. Great in moderate doses, but not the majority of the time.

                                I have a different problem with it. Though I was only briefly a DJ, I was properly bitten by the bug, it seems, and I still like my transitions between songs to be thought through. It's amusing when you get NWA followed by Pavarotti or something, but I don't really enjoy those juxtapositions. And Genius is not yet good enough--either that or I resent not being in charge.

                                So I want an MP3 player that allows me to improvise playlists in real time, and crossfade between songs. I'm sure there'd be a niche for a product like that.

                                Not bothered about not listening to albums right through; I rarely did, to be honest.

                                  Yeah, I don't like Genius. It picks songs that are too similar, I think. Something similar that I like more is on last.fm, when you can select a "radio station" based on an artist, and get similar artists--you can also pick up to three artists and have a station based on them, so you get more diversity.

                                  One thing about this shuffle exercise that I like is that I find songs that I downloaded at one point and meant to listen to, but never did. Like that last one on my most recent list--Memory Tapes. I have no idea who they are, when I downloaded that, etc. And I found out that I don't really care for that song all that much, so I'll probably move it off my iPod.

                                    Surely it can't belong before one (a *small* MP3 player) comes out with software pre-installed that allows you to crossfade and mix and which (optionally) intelligently syncs bpm and even the key/pitch of a track in realtime?

                                    (Someone is going to tell me this already exists now, of course!)

                                    Such a device could make everyone into DJs. On the downside(?) it could potentially ruin the careers of established DJs.

                                      Depends on the situation. Shuffle is great for things like going round the supermarket and commuting.

                                            I like shuffle for cycling / walking to work and play full albums when at home.
                                            It's only 10/15 minutes to work, so if I listen to full albums it can mean I'm listening to the same one for about 3 days

                                                  It would be rash of me to speculate, and rasher to do so in public.

                                                  Rasher.

                                                  Rasher of me.

                                                  Bacon number.

                                                  See?

                                                    Very good.

                                                    If only there was a world wide web of information where you could just type into a computer and get an answer.

                                                    I reckon it is created by the same people who do Video+
