I've said it before many times, but I like all my music (~8GB), used to just let it shuffle, but I'm liking Apple's latest offering of the "Genius" playlist.

:) Great stuff! His delivery lyrically and musically just pulls you into the moment.

That particular snippet reminds me of when I was in 6th form, just 4 years ago mind you, but I can still reminisce :laugh:

Any of these will do. ;)

Has any of your code shown up in the Coding Horrors[^] forum? Did you also know that Barry's initials give a pretty apt definition to his music. :)

If that's "Love is like oxygen", isn't the group Sweet? I do like 10cc though. I was listening to their greatest hits yesterday. Scott

It's very disturbing if I listen to mine on shuffle. It's 20GB, and I've got everything from the Carpenters and Bee Gees to NIN, Tool, Metallica, etc. and everything in between (reggae, Dead Can Dance, jazz, opera). I tried shuffle/random once as an experiment...Not good. :) Scott

My current stack of CD's includes: Stay With Me, Michael Lington Rebound, Wayman Tisdale Bringing Back the Funk, Brian Culbertson Tequila Moon, Jessy J Greatest Hits!, Walter Beasley Face to Face, Wayman Tisdale Roundtrip, Kirk Whalum New Beginnings, Gerald Albright Just Getting Started, Eric Darius Truth, Warren Hill Rising Sun, Najee Soul Lounge and Royal Function, Bona Fide Pacific Coast Highway, Nils Yes, I listen to smooth jazz. No, I don't care that it isn't cool. I'm middle-aged, which means I've learned to listen to what I like, rather than worry about what somebody else thinks is hip.

Erm, if I were more creative, I'd do a parody of the lyrics and they'd be all about documenting code and stuff. "Time's on my side, I've got it all. My methods are well documented, blah, blah, blah, blah." :rolleyes: Personally, I don't listen to music while programming; I just wind up tuning it out. The best I can do is listen to some non-descript New Age music.

Like Phannon said, the Genius mode in iTunes 8 is growing on me too. I've got >100G :-O and always did the shuffle bit but like you said, with that many tunes you end up swinging from metal to lounge. When it hits something you like, you hit the Genius button and you get a quick playlist of similar songs. So far it has picked pretty decent lists.

[scottgp]

I've got a Creative Zen, so I guess I'll just have to continue practicing safe listening. :)

I can't no one said metal! Mostly just old Maiden and 'Tallica songs though, with a little Priest and Motorhead in there as well.

Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO.

In the movie "The Matrix", Chuck Norris is the Matrix. If you pay close attention in the green "falling code" scenes, you can make out the faint texture of his beard.

Chuck Norris actually owns IBM. It was an extremely hostile takeover.
