Okay, 1st here’s a list of 24 Random songs from my iPod.
Note: Several months back my iPod Video broke, and I decided to replace it with just an iPod nano. And I didn’t really feel the need to place ALL my songs from iTunes onto the new Nano (and they wouldn’t fit anyway). So I guess this random sample is interesting it that it represents tracks from albums that I chose to put on my nano (out of many from my iTunes library that I did not). Only 26 albums are on my nano out of 80 in my iTunes. I know it’s supposedly random by it seems like Lord of the Rings tracks show up here at a disproportionate rate.

  1. The Uruk-Hai – Howard Shore (Fellowship of the Rings movie soundtrack)
  2. Mutha’uckas — Flight of the Conchords
  3. The Ride of the Rohirrim – (The Return of King soundtrack)
  4. Drive All Night (1) – Bruce Springsteen (Outtakes and Demos)
  5. A Journey in the Dark – Howard Shore (Fellowship of the Rings movie soundtrack)
  6. Outlaw Pete – Bruce Springsteen
  7. Foundations of Stone – Howard Shore (Fellowship of the Rings movie soundtrack)
  8. Concerning Hobbits – Howard Shore (Fellowship of the Rings movie soundtrack)
  9. Independence Day – Bruce Springsteen (Outtakes and Demos)
  10. Gollum’s Song – Howard Shore (The Two Towers movie soundtrack)
  11. God Says Nothing Back – The Wallflowers
  12. Trying to Get to Heaven – Bob Dylan
  13. The Last Carnival – Bruce Springsteen
  14. Bowie — Flight of the Conchords
  15. When the Deal Goes Down – Bob Dylan
  16. The Return of the King – The Return of the King movie soundtrack
  17. Wedding Song – Bob Dylan
  18. Heartbroken – Joss Whedon (Dr. Horrible musical commentary track)
  19. The Leave Taking – Howard Shore (The Two Towers movie soundtrack)
  20. Colorblind – Counting Crows
  21. Sleepwalker – The Wallflowers
  22. The Beautiful Side of Somewhere – The Wallflowers
  23. The Passion – Billy Bragg
  24. Something in the Night – Bruce Springsteen
  25. Business Time – Flight of the Conchords
  26. (Bonus) Still Alive – David Juandrew

Now, this next list is a random from my complete iTunes library of about 80 albums. But even this is not quite representative because there’s lots of albums that aren’t properly linked to the folder where the mp3 is located (cuz I screwed up when transferring to a new computer). But, again the list is kinda relevant because the songs that did make the random list are ones that I made sure to fix the folder problem on (and are therefore ones that I wanted to listen to). Sorry, I know --blah, blah, blah .stop explaining Thot, nobody cares. :o

  1. Dixie – Bob Dylan (Masked and Anonymous Movie Soundtrack)

#24

My list also was from randomly played tracks from my iTunes library, since I mostly use my iPod only for Podcast listening.

#25

I have the Classic 120GB so I can take everything with me everywhere I need it. Without enough storage for all of my music I’d feel limited, and I hate that. I want to hit “shuffle” and have no real idea what’s coming, except to expect something from Billy Corgan once every 20 tracks or so.

Funny, the ipod didn’t pick up neither a “Jamiroquai” nor “Kool & the Gang” nor “Imogen Heap”… shucks… ~_~

#27

I love these songs!

#28

How do you isolate the music library from the larger (podcasts et al.) library?

#29

oh, the podcasts are around 2mins give or take, and it’s kinda irritating to keep on selecting the podcasts to listen to one by one when they’re so short (nothing like GWC…heheh)

so what i did was the right click the whole lot of them, choose “Get info”, tab to the 3rd page, you can select the media type (Music, Video, Podcast, Audiobook, etc). Thus you can move the podcasts to the music library (media type= music) and vice versa (media type= podcast) …

Now, anyone can tell me how to arrange video playlists?

In the smart playlist: Media Kind — Is — Music

#31

A bit baffled, here. How do you guys get podcasts in your music library, like so many flies in the honey? My podcasts are kept with podcasts automagically. Is it an Apple thing?

#32

Odd. That doesn’t work at all. I get nothing.

#33

Weird. Maybe there’s an issue with checked items?

#34

Yeah, that’s it exactly. Nothing shows up in the playlist. I’m on a Mac, so maybe there’s some difference?

ETA: Ah! “Media Kind” not “Kind” (WTF is that distinction?)

#35

  1. Animal - Def Leppard (Hysteria)

  24. Spinning Song - David Popper (Romantic Cello Showpieces)
  25. Fried Neckbones And Some Home Fries (Dan The Automator Remix) - Willie Bobo (Verve Remixed 2)

26 is a tough one. I thought some JoCo for geek cred, or maybe some Colin Hay to represent for Scrubs, but in the end, given that gym music probably gets more playtime than anything else…

  1. To the Rhythm - Graffiti (iSweat Fitness Music, Vol 50: Kickbox Training)
#36

Crap. How are you formatting the playlist?

#37

A bit of brute force I’m afraid.

  1. Ctrl/Open Apple A to select all
  2. Paste into excel in columns, then delete the columns that you don’t need
  3. Cut and past into word. If you merge cells in Excel you lose data, but in word you combine the data
  4. Merge the rows in word
  5. Show formatting and copy a para symbol. Now Ctrl/Option F for find, and replace the para symbol with a “,”. I was a bit anal and did more formatting
  6. Manually add number

As I said, brute force, but it worked
