thewayneI just completed my semi-resolution! Back on January 10, I stated my quest to listen to my entire music library, literally from A to Z!
And tonight I just finished with Zydeco from Cirque Du Soliel's Quidam album!
That's approximately 5500 songs representing 15.4 days (over 900 hours) of continuous listening. Needless to say, it has not been continuous! And the list hasn't been exactly strictly alphabetical: a few new albums have been acquired or found while cleaning and mixed in. That also excludes most music longer than 10 minutes and most duplicates from collection or greatest hits albums, though it does not exclude live performance dupes. I just wish that I'd been able to do it on one PC: I started on my Thinkpad, but it developed problems and had to have the OS reinstalled, which, of course, wiped the iTunes playlists. Rebuilding the list wasn't difficult, but it does mean that my Mac only shows me listening to 3300 songs since 4/25 when my lovely and never sufficiently praised wife bought me my 13" MacBook. That user account was transferred to my current laptop, 15" MacBook Pro, about a month ago and the history is complete from that point further.
So if someone asks me where I was at 9:13PM on September 19, 2007, I can tell them that I don't have a clue, but I was listening to Jethro Tull's "And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps".
