The other day I mistakenly started playing song son my 30GB Zune by alphabetical song title instead of the normal shuffle. I was shocked at how many songs I was hearing that had never come up during my past six-months of shuffling with virtually the same 30GB worth of music on the device (minus anything new added).
Here’s a quick list of what came up that first day. So now it’s Friday and I’ve decided to try and play this alphabetical thing out A-Z. It’s going slowly even though I’m skipping repeated songs (from live bootlegs etc.) The experiment so far is that the normal playing of songs in this fashion turns out a better quality mix than playing on shuffle. I find myself skipping songs a lot less. Anyone else ever do this?
