What’s Your Excuse For Your Playlists On ITunes?

« Ways Of Curbing Your Bad Language! Top 5 Dollhouse moments » 09 07 2010 What’s Your Excuse For Your Playlists On ITunes? Posted by Karen in Music If like me you use iTunes, there comes a time when you have probably made a few playlists, these can be for anything, like a party mix or even something where you have selection of tracks for a certain mood you may be in. I like to have a collection of different playlists with ones for my favourite remixes or ones containing a certain word! The one I really listen to a lot lately is the one that I made from the music from the TV show Monkey Dust, which has been getting bigger over the time that I have discovered tracks that were used in the classic BBC show. So what’s your excuse for making playlists, do you make then often, or don’t you bother? If you enjoyed reading this post, then please remember to post a comment, Subscribe to my RSS feed.

My favorite is soft to medium classic rock. Ya know, Boston, Supertramp, etc. (I’m dating myself here) Really my first playlist choice is Christmas music, but ya can’t listen to that year round, despite my 4-year old daughter’s desire to do so.

I max out all the gift cards… but you know, there are many more sites that offer free MP3s. All of my ringtones are from such sites that I have put into my Audacity and cropped into ringtones. However, for every ringtone, I still have the downloaded iTune and even re-bought the CD to the band or artist related.

I have them for all sorts of things like certain visitors, I have a late-night mix, gym mix, work mix, and driving mix. There are some songs that are on almost every list, but each list is different and can stand on it’s own. Usually if it’s just me I hit shuffle and listen to them all mixed!

When I purchase a CD from the iTunes store I always make a copy for my car and one for my Bose System. After I buy about 3 or 4 CD’s I’ll mix and match them into different playlists – one with all the slow songs and one with the fast songs. My latest favorite download is Herbie Hancock’s Imagine Project which is an eclectic blend of music from around the world. I think you would enjoy it too. Thanks for asking.

As a result, I don’t really bother with playlists. I much prefer the shuffle option: I want my iTunes to push me to rediscover the music I sometimes am guilty of neglecting. It’s an awesome feeling to rediscover a piece. ashok is hoping you stop by and read Emily Dickinson, “It is an honorable Thought” (946) [Reply] jtGraphic: James Thompson Twitter: jtgraphic says: July 12, 2010 at 6:18 am I actually don’t make that many, but most of mine are either sub genre, last played, play count, or rating. All of which tend to be smart lists. jtGraphic: James Thompson is hoping you stop by and read FAQ- What are follow and nofollow links [Reply] Shawn Twitter: mcconnellgrp says: July 14, 2010 at 2:30 pm I always use genius, But there are some times where I just want a personal list to vibe out too, I always find working more fluent when there’s some good tunes on.
