I have no life

That is why I know which 10 CDs I listened to more than any
other in 2002:

1. Autechre - Peel Session
2. Autechre - LP5
3. Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children
4. Autechre - EP7
5. Autechre - Confield
6. Autechre - Peel Session 2
7. Godspeed You Black Emperor! - f#a#infinity
8. Boards Of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In The
Country
9. Aphex Twin - Richard D. James
10. Autechre - Envane

What's worse, I can also tell you I listened to 394 of my
CDs during the year, with a total of 2276 individual
listenings.

Fear the man with time on his hands and a spreadsheet.

I think it'd be kinda cool to have that sort of data!

It all stems from being useless at trying to pick something
to listen to. I bunged all the CDs on a spreadsheet and
randomly sort them, then choose one from the first 10, makes
my life a lot easier.

It was just a step from that to recording how many times
they were listened to. It's also a good way to filter out
stuff that's fallen from favour, anything that hasn't been
listened to for over a year gets cut from the playlist.

It would be a lot easier if you just got the Winamp plugin
that tracks the songs you listen to and sorts them by
popularity. Assuming you use Winamp.

Doesn't the new version of Windows Media Player do things
like that... and even compiles a list of songs you play at
night, etc.
?

No, I listen to all my CDs through hi-fi equipment. I used
to listen to music on the PC back in the Napster days, but
now I buy all my music it's all through the hi-fi.

I seem to have lost it over the last few years of upgrades
(I don't use Winamp anymore). I think it was called
"hitlist."

I record the number of plays of each CD on the spreadsheet,
if you sort by number of plays you can see how many have
been listened to.

most people perceive a "life" as going out with friends and
being socially active, however I think that most of these
people are just as lost as people that "don't" go around and
socialise
