I’m not addicted to making playlists. Still there are times when I do make some: for a party, some special occasion, or just when I have a particular mood that I feel it needs some songs to go with. Otherwise, I just listen to whatever comes at hand.

no particular excuse, perhaps i just love listening to experimental and ambient music since it always trigger my own creativity with things. hmm, but with regards to gym music, that’s a different story

cool blog by the way Karen.

I have a few… one for when I’m at the office working. One for road trips. One for cooking (my wife and I love to cook together with good music playing).

I’ve found some real gems with the Genius feature…

I don’t remember making a playlist and I don’t intend to. When I want to listen music I just pick some random music and just listen to it until I get bored and change it

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.

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.

Great topic – I’ve always been interested in those who make playlists, I’ve been responsible for some of the worst mixtapes ever made myself.

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.

I suppose you could say that the playlist is the modern day equivalent to the mixtape

Hi Karen, I’m constantly making new iTunes playlists. 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.

I don’t use itunes, but I have playlists on my youtube account, windows music player, and my mp3 player. 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!
