music

[curgoth]

I am craving more music in my collection. I have enough music now that I'm looking at "shaping" my collection so that the proportions are the way I want them. It's hard to maintain playlists when I have 3351 tracks. So I typically just leave it on random and skip things I don't feel like listening to. The problem occurs when I get an influx of, say, Tom Waits, and, by sheer volume, shift the mood of what comes up on random. The easiest solution to this would just be to add more music to balance out Tom Waits et al. I want to go and buy several hundred dollars worth of bleepy European EBM and North American Industrial music.

I can't, just now, so I am whining about it instead.

Ah the problems only moody yuppies have.

Hmmm....that has given me a thought. Perhaps you can set up a script to log how many times you skip over a song using that somehow to weight the shuffling. Of course, it'll take it a while to "learn" which songs you like and don't like, especially given the extensiveness of your collection, but it might be worth it. Just a thought.

By the way, this is Ravynne posting from Pez's account since he doesn't log off and I'm in his room right now. I guess I could do something mean if I wanted, but I don't so =P
