Listening to ALL your music

I found that I seem to be listening to only a few CD's in my collection very often. While it is nice to have "reference" recordings, I found that I am concentrating on sound, not music. So, to counter this, I have decided to listen to all my CD's . I will not aquire any new CD's or make any changes to my system until I have listened to every note on every CD I have.

They are arranged alphabetically, and I seem to be able to do 2 or 3 a night. I have close to 700 CD's, so this should take a while.

Has anyone else done this?

Hmm,

Funny, as the underwear drawer does need rotation. Seems with wash all the time, the same ones stay on top..Maybe I should alphabetize my underwear, and go throught them all sequentially...........

I could have told you Rlips. It's universal. Men are naturally not monogamous but we stick with one pair of underwear real good! If women were underwear divorces would be way down.

And forget about the vinyl thing. It doesn't work with underwear, least not for me. No synergy there for me.

Yea hy61 I like to let the boys run free then and again.

Sincerely
I remain,

I think most of us stick to a certain frecquent menu and forgot about a considerable ammount of music we own.
I played a little trick to add surprise to my listening:
numbered all discs and made a random number generation in a simple excell spreadsheet and now and then pull it out and pick a number to listen. I found that I´m building up a shopping list based on the experience and the flash back in time in some cases has been very interesting.

1000 CDs in changers played randomly gives your music collection a workout and keeps it fresh - the spontanaity of what comes on often makes it much more enjoyable. Swap out what you don't like for something new and it continues to be enjoyable. iTunes is probably a better alternative still, as it's more flexible.
