this is the last installment in my series of how i deal with my music. in this blog, i’ll talk about how i listen to my music.
i don’t listen to any illegal mp3s anymore; i own everything i listen too. it’s kind of odd that i decided to do this, but i got tired of hearing badly encoded mp3s or spending ungodly amounts of time looking for a particular song. yes, i lose out on a lot of variety but that’s just a tradeoff i made due to my lack of time.
since my music library is organized through itunes; i listen to all my mp3s through there. if i need a lightweight player for when i’m playing games or something, i’ll switch the winamp but probably 90% of the time i use itunes. it also integrates with my ipod and keeps tracking of play count and other statistics for my smart playlists. i need this tracking because my master playlist in itunes is very specific. i’ve previously blogged about my itunes master playlist and it is what i use to play music when i’m on my computer and on my ipod.
for new songs, i tend to leave them unrated until their playcount reaches about 10 which gives them good exposure and i won’t complain about never hearing new songs.
