Listening to ALL your music

I've found that the more software I have the harder it is to decide what to play. It's easy to go with the old standbys whether for sonics or convenience. I ask my wife what she would like to hear and playing that request mixes things up enough to send me on a tangent to various other albums. Did that make sense?? It's late. Goodnight.

I find myself listening to the same things sometimes. I usually try to force myself to root arond and find something different. If you do that I think you find some extra pleasures. Usually you bought(hopefully for at least one good song)it for a good reason, so you should find that again.

Actually,

I have been finding that I like almost everything I own! Is just that I have got into a rut. My collection is almost evenly divided between classical and jazz.

Right now, I am on beethoven, and am really enjoying hearing ALL the piano sonatas again.

Reminds me when I was in college, I used to sit in the music library with a score and headphones for hours, and study and listen....

Maybe I will go out and buy some scores.

Oh, and I have also decided to get rid of any disc that I can't listen to. So far, I am keeping the 20 or so I have gone through...

I had the same problem a few years ago and inadvertently stumbled across a wonderful solution. I ended up transferring all my digital and about half of my analog collection into an Apple Mac computer using iTunes as the interface. I have any number of playlists organizing the music, but basically I set things to random play and let the machine do the choosing. In addition to convenience this setup allows me to hear music that I already own that I would never pick otherwise. The system strongly reinforces the fact that I have great taste in music.

Hi!
Yea, that's a good idea. I'm doing the same thing with my underwear. Sometimes, if I'm not careful, I find myself wearing the same ones all the time. I've labeled mine Mon-Sun and it makes it a lot easier. Gets confusing otherwise.

Sincerely
I remain.
