The meme:
Open iTunes/iPod or Windows Media Player to answer the following. Go to your library. Answer, no matter how embarrassing it is.

I say:
Go ahead and leave out the embarrassing ones if you want. And you don't even have to do the meme at all! :-)


How many tracks: 5806

Last played: something from one of the Babylon 5 soundtracks by Christopher Franke

Sort by track title:
First track: - "II. Larghetto" (part of a Schumann symphony)
Last track: "Zweite Brautnacht," Aria from Die ägyptische Helena, Richard Strauss


Sort by artist:
First track: "Is It?" by :zoviet*france
Last Track "Destiny," Zero 7
(actually, that was the last track that has an artist listed. I have dozens of language tape snippets with no artist listed)

Sort by time:
Shortest track: "Interlude: Memory" by Janet Jackson (4 seconds)

Longest track:
"A Tale of Two Cities (Unabridged) Part 5 of 8" by Charles Dickens (an audiobook)

The longest music track claims to be "Tiny Golden Books" by Coil, but there's some kind of glitch in it and it's really much shorter than iTunes thinks it is.

The actual longest music track is "Indian Suite" by Edward MacDowell

Top Five Most Played tracks
These are all in the top five because they are in my "Selkie" mix that I made after my beloved Selkie-cat died.

"There Is No Rose of Swych Vertu" by Mediæval Bæbes (the rest of the album is lousy)
"Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" written and read by Dylan Thomas
"For Free" by Joni Mitchell
"Devoiko, Mari, Khubava" by Kitka
"The Secret To A Long Life (Is Knowing When It's Time To Go)" by Michelle Shocked

First track that comes up on Shuffle: Symphony No. 1 in B-Flat major, Op. 38 “Spring” - I. Andante un poco maestoso; Allegro molto vivace by Robert Schumann

Last track that comes up on shuffle: Harvest Home/The Boys Of Bluehill by Glenn Morgan

(Actually, I can't find the last track that comes up on shuffle on my iTunes. I had to use the results from one of my playlists - the "played less than two times" playlist.)

I didn't have an iPod either till just a couple of months ago when I started travelling alone more. I never got what was so exciting about them, honestly, until I realized I could take half my music collection to SF with me.

I decided I wanted one because I've recently discovered I really don't mind doing household chores if I'm listening to an audio book, and because I wanted something to store my japanese language audio flashcards that I made.
