Just wait, kid. Next week you’ll hate it!<\/p>\n
I heard something the other day about poor Generation iPod<\/strong> that kind of cracked me up. Until the mega gig iPods came out, most people I knew had what I would consider a handful of CDs or LPs and that was their music collection. Truth be told, they watch a lot more TV these days, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But now they’re<\/a> trying to understand<\/em> this new phenomenon that people with even 50 GB of music are somehow getting bored with their music.<\/p>\n I’d just laugh and figure that the music\/media industry hasn’t known what listeners want for 20 years or more anyway usually, but then I ran into this exchange<\/a>. I don’t think I actually own 25,000 songs<\/strong>. That used to require a truly dedicated music nerd many years to accomplish. But in these days of bittorrent<\/strong> it makes a situation like the first response to actually happen.<\/p>\n Here are a few details of my playlists that have helped me better enjoy my large collection: <\/p>\n 1. 100 random songs than have been added in last 120 days that I’ve never played. Why would anyone do such a thing? That’s like buying 9 or 10 albums and not even being interested in them enough to listen to in 4 months!<\/em> I realize that this stuff was probably stolen, but why steal what you don’t even want or won’t even use?<\/p>\n I’ve filled another cabinet!<\/p>\n Most of all, I think we’re winning. Sort of. If the geeky afflicion of not having enough music (c’mon – if you’v got a spouse they’ve probably asked at least once, “When will you have enough music?”) actually creeps out into the public at large we may actually see radio station playlists change. Right?<\/p>\n They could<\/em> change, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just wait, kid. Next week you’ll hate it!
