What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Mapman - glad to see your Camel recommendation to Schubert. Classical roots and influence of/on well done prog rock should appeal to him, I would think. Maybe expand his musical horizons a bit more.

You find it enjoyable listening to things in the random order as you've listed? Some quite jarring changes track to track. Not sure that would work for me but am curious to hear your take on it.

I spend a lot of time listening that way. It's a good way to become more familiar with all your music. Like programming your own personal radio station. I learned to like a lot of music listening to the radio. Does not work as well for concept albums or multiparty classical. I find I listen with less preconception when I do not have to choose what to listen to. New CDs get ripped up front then stored. I might not hear something I added new for a bit. It's a great way to discover new music. Call it "Mapman radio".

OK Mapman, soon as I'm done with internalizing all the spiritual aspects of Bach I will.
Shouldn't be more than another 2-300 hundred years.
I realize there are many good kinds of music, its just that the good is the enemy of the best.

In regards to random play, Pandora is nice for that; especially since most of my CD collection is not ripped. It is kinda like Mapman's listening. And I'm finding that is a great new way to listen. Now on to CDs on my player:

Flim & the BB's - Tunnel

Benson & Klugh - Collaboration

James McMurty - Too Long in the Wastland

Bill & Bonnie Hearn - Watching Life Through a Windshield

Loudon Wainwright III - History
