It took me three months and one day but I have finally played every single track on my MP3 player. Admittedly, some days I didn’t listen to a single song, and there was at least one day I accidently left my player in my car after work and it played all night long, but the running average for my project was 68 tracks being played every day, without a single repeat. In my radio days in college, the standard is that 13 records could be played in an hour with news and commercials. So that 68/day represents just over 5 hours a day in radio time.
As I discovered at some point, my favorite song is obviously “Hallelujah,” which is represented five times by such artists as kd lang, Jeff Buckley, Bono from US, Jason Castro and Kevin Max. No other song is represented more than twice – I have a lot of songs that had two versions, but only “Hallelujah” had more than two versions. And I still think about going on iTunes and downloading the Cohen and Cale versions.
So now I’m back to “shuffle all” for a while until I decide to do the project again. But at least I can say that I really HAVE listened to every single one of the 6,221 tracks on my MP3 player!!
Wow, congrats. I’m impressed.
