how do you pick your next music?


Most audiophiles have a lot of music, and I find myself more often than not going back to the same 100 or so LPs or CDs... so how do you pick what you're gonna listen to next, or is it just a whim?

Blindjim: yeah, it was tough when i had a huge classical collection. I had to move, and cut my enttire collection by 50%. Turned out over 4,000 of the 6,000Lp culled were classical albums.
I didn't lose a single work, just variations of performances. I had too be really strick and tell myself for exampl, four Beethoven Fifth sym. were ENOUGH!
mine is mood dependent, which is time of day dependent. Sometimes I will decide to look for something I haven't played in a long time just to freshen up the rotation.
I usually get prompted by something I hear on the college radio station I favor and go look for something similar.

I sometimes go thru old CDs and it is like going to a music store, selecting music that I have only heard once and long forgotten. It can be fun!
