What's playing on your iTunes & iPod?

[mel]

Since this topic is "The Jukebox", I am sure several of us have Apple's iTunes and iPod music player and software. The software and the player are probably the ultimate consumer jukebox to have around these days.

After reading Blaine's iTunes list (http://zztype.com/itunes/) I was wondering what collection of songs do you play on your iTunes, iPod or other similar type of software player and hardware.

I have maintained a page that I occasionally update of the songs that I play on my 2 Macs that have iTunes and my recently acquired iPod. My latest list is always posted at this URL:

http://macpro.freeshell.org/music/iTunes.html

It's a standard html table of the day's playlist that I cut out from iTunes, paste in Excel and then export as an html table to place in my template. My musical tastes are probably not as eccentric as most of you, though I do have a lot of music (mostly burned from my CDs) with a little more than 5,700 songs currently on my main iTunes hard drive (and most in my iPod).

What I really like about iTunes is that I can create dozens (actually I think I have close to 100+) of playlists with various mixes of the songs that I have in iTunes. Since I grew up mostly with Top 40 AM radio of the past, most of my lists tend to skew towards oldies of the 60s and 70s, though sometimes I mix other stuff up.

Perhaps we can use this forum to share our playlists and whatever it is that catches our fancy on those new digital players... iPod, Rio, Sony Digital Walkmans or whatevers.

Great idea. I was just looking at some automated solutions that can take your iPod "Recently Played" list and post it on the web. I soon realized that maybe my taste in music might be a bit embarassing, however. :) Besides, half the listening I do on my iPod is to podcasts (http://www.hawaiipodcasting.com), now. The other half is music ('cause I'm at the gym and it's hard to work out to geek talk).

The music ranges from techno (a must for cardio training!) to Hawaiian (of course) to movie themes and music used in TV commercials (I went through a phase). According to iTunes, the most frequently played songs are:



"Delicate" by Damien Rice (featured in an episode of "Lost")
"Break Your Heart (Live)" by Barenaked Ladies (one of my favorite songs ever)
"Bananas and Rice" by Akamai Brain Collective (discovered when working on a podcast)
"Gotta Get Up from Here" by Ellie Lawson (would you believe it was a iTunes freebie of the week?)
"Holei" by Dennis Pavao (a classic and one my kids ask to hear)
"21 Things" by Alanis Morissette (hmm... unexpected)
"Lux Aeterna" from Requiem for a Dream Soundtrack (makes me want to make movies... or become a vampire)
As for podcasts? Geek News Central (http://www.geeknewscentral.com), On The Media (http://www.onthemedia.org/) (one of my favorite NPR shows anyway), Coverville (http://www.coverville.com/), and despite myself, Adam Curry (http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/).

Hi folks,

Great thread idea! Here's where I get my iTunes toys:

http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=itunes&os=all&button.x=15&button.y=12

This one exports iTunes lists to Delicious Library
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17091

You don't know about Delicious Library??? Aaagh!
http://www.delicious-monster.com/

These export your iTunes lists to an HTML file:
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?os=All&keywords=itunes+html&button.x=15&button.y=12

This is the one I used to make my iTunes page:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14800

This one automatically shows what's playing in your iTunes on the web:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15358
But it looks like he's taken the product offline. I found another link that still works, but grab it quick!

+ That Governor Lingle thing could pass for a podcast as it is in a library of MP3 files that you can download off the Gov's website under the heading "Radio Show" (http://www.hawaii.gov/gov/radioshow) where an archive going back to last year is maintained. I renamed the file after downloading it so that it fit the format of my iTunes listings.

My son and son in-law bought iPods last saturday. My son tried to show me how to use one and play a song on his list of tunes.
Finally saw Creedence Clearwater Revival, played "Joy To The World". Sang along with my imaginary guitar like the good old days...my son then realized I was nuts! ;)

I'll leave iPods & iTunes to you younger generation. I'll stick with the old fashion cassettes, CD's or better yet, radio.

Auntie Lynn

[zztype]

Auntiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!! "I'll leave iPods & iTunes to you younger generation"? Auwe!!!!!!

I know for a fact that both Mel and I are older than you! And possibly others here in this thread, too. You not old, just nuts! :D

So I suggest you GO NUTS!!! Go download iTunes for your computer right now. It's free and really cool. http://www.itunes.com

You don't have to have an iPod to use iTunes to listen to music while you post on HawaiiThreads.com! Take your favorite CDs and import the music to iTunes. Then plug in the speakers or headphones and jam!

If you're feeling like an "out of body experience," go play some psychedelic music and click the visualizer button in iTunes. You goin' have hard time stop um! :)

I posted earlier about a little app called "iTunes Watcher." Seems the developer Michael Simmons had pulled it. But I just got a note back from him saying he had put it back online, but no longer supports the app. Installation instructions and the file download are now here: http://www.thoughtanomalies.com/ituneswatcher/manual/

I have installed it successfully and you can now see what's playing in my iTunes, LIVE: http://zztype.com/music/

Installation is very technical, and you need to have a web server configured on the computer where your iTunes is playing (as mine is) in order for anyone else to see what's playing. It's not meant for everyone do be doing. But it's kinda cool to deploy in your office, if you've got a bunch of Macs on the network. (It has to be run on a Mac as it uses AppleScript.)

[kylertz]

nice thread. I've mainly got a bunch of Jack Johnson, Ted Lennon, Mason Jennings. A few songs from Weezer, Chili peppers, Strokes, and White stripes. Bob Marley is on there too. But my most played songs are those from the first three.

Whoa! 5,000 songs? Which model do you have? I have a 2G 20GB, and just bought my wife a 4GB iPod Mini. She loves it!

MacMade Easy had a close-out sale on 60GB and 40GB iPod Photos last month. I bought the 40GB model. Apple has since dropped it and now only offers a 30GB and another 60GB iPod Photo.

I had been accumulating a big pile of music over the 3 years since I bought my Power Mac G4 tower in 2001. Mostly ripping and burning my CDs, downloaded a few from iTunes and converting some of my tapes and records to MP3 with Griffin Technology's iMic. (This is why you may see some old out of print music on some of my lists; they are ripped from records.)

I figured I might as well take the plunge and buy one of these things when the price was right... so I did. I still have an issue with the battery life/life of the iPod in general. But I figure if the battery conks out (which it will eventually), I figure to just hopefully continue running it on AC power through the adapter. BTW, mine was the last one to come with the dock/cradle and both the USB and Firewire cords, iTunes 4.7 and the black carry case. I have since bought a few more accessories for it... a carrying case for both iPod and accessories, a small camera bag to tote the whole thing around in and the Griffin iTrip to play music through my cheapo car radio.

So like I have my 5,000+ songs which represent only a small fraction of my total music collection on CD, records and tapes. I been collecting this stuff since 1969. So yes, color me old. I still have 45s, LPs, some reel to reel tapes lying around, 2 8track tapes, and several hundred cassettes of radio shows, personal stuff, family gatherings, small kid time singing and whatevers. I plan to eventually burn all these to CD... have done a few already.

I also have a measly 51 color photos on my iPod. I don't plan to keep too many photos there... kind of use it as a digital wallet for pictures.

And yes, I like my iPod but don't use it that much since most of the time I am either with my G4 or my iBook and both have iTunes. Also I am a bit leary of taking my iPod out and around... I will probably buy the small iPod Shuffle, which seems to be more durable and has no moving parts... I can just tote around a fraction of my playlist of songs that I want for the moment. I have a $10 credit from the Apple Store due to the fact that I had returned an item I bought from there a while back. So I plan to apply that to the 512MB Shuffle soon.

OK.. I probably said more than I needed to about my iPod.

Here is a picture of my iPod:

"Polythene Pam" by The Beatles on Monday, April 11 @ 8:36pm


The one thing I hated initially about iTunes was that it broke continuous medlies such as this into individual songs. It's a good thing that Apple knew about this and gave us the "join" command so that I can combine all the individual tracks to the "Abbey Road" side into one continuous piece.

[mel]

An item on KITV 4 News tonight stated that President George W. Bush is an iPod owner. He has his staff install music to his iPod which the newscast mentioned is filled mostly with country music (no one should be surprised at this) as well as several pop and rock songs.

From the "Seattlepi":

Bush's iPod tells what's got the president's ear (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/219657_bushipod12.html)

First, Bush's iPod is heavy on traditional country singers such as George Jones, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney. He has selections by Van Morrison, whose "Brown Eyed Girl" is a Bush favorite, and by John Fogerty, most predictably "Centerfield," which was played at Texas Rangers games when Bush was an owner.

The president also has an eclectic mix of songs downloaded into his iPod from Mark McKinnon, a biking buddy and his chief media strategist during the 2004 campaign. Among them are "Circle Back" by John Hiatt, "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care" by Joni Mitchell and "My Sharona," the 1979 song by the Knack that Joe Levy, a deputy managing editor at Rolling Stone in charge of music coverage, cheerfully branded "suggestive if not outright filthy."

I have to say "My Sharona" is a very catchy song and while much overplayed when it was popular, still strikes me as a fun song to listen to once in a while.

[zztype]

And as you can tell from my playlist that I haven't done this. :)

I normally listen to that album all-at-once and my between-track transition is set to zero, so it's not as noticeable, though still there. But last night "Polythene Pam" came up on the Party Shuffle and cut off abruptly at the transition to the next song on the album.

Most albums are configured to be a collection of separate songs so it's not that much of a problem. Abbey Road definitely stands out in the crowd, in that respect.

I often wonder what they were thinking when they did that! A CD can play the tracks unbroken, though they are separate tracks. Why can't an iPod?

The one thing I hated initially about iTunes was that it broke continuous medlies such as this into individual songs. It's a good thing that Apple knew about this and gave us the "join" command so that I can combine all the individual tracks to the "Abbey Road" side into one continuous piece.

I normally listen to that album all-at-once and my between-track transition is set to zero, so it's not as noticeable, though still there. But last night "Polythene Pam" came up on the Party Shuffle and cut off abruptly at the transition to the next song on the album.

Most albums are configured to be a collection of separate songs so it's not that much of a problem. Abbey Road definitely stands out in the crowd, in that respect.

I often wonder what they were thinking when they did that! A CD can play the tracks unbroken, though they are separate tracks. Why can't an iPod?

Abbey Road is not the only album with the flowing track problem. The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper and parts of The White Album suffer a similar fate. For example, "Bungalow Bill" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".... "Sgt. Pepper" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" off the Sgt. Pepper album... early Moody Blues... the songs are separate tracks but run together on the CD and yes, even on iTunes if you set the space to "0".... why not on the iPod? The only way to combine them is to join them when you rip em from CD.

Dark Side of the Moon...

[kimo55]

What's playing on your iTunes...


my fave station;
from the classic rock drop down;
technicolor web of sound.
great 60's haight ashbury era rock. as if you were back there, or at da first crater festival.


they drop in some cool radio commercials from back then; advertising shi... stuff like head shops, record shops, we hear the hippie wanna be coke commercials... any funny kine li dat.

[mel]

Dark Side of the Moon...

That and possibly most of the continuous Pink Floyd albums are a problem. Ditto for some Yes albums. Perhaps that is why I haven't ripped any of my Pink Floyd albums... save space and just play the regular CD when I want to listen to them. The problem also perpetuates itself with my Kitaro collection.

[kimo55]

Ditto for some Yes albums.


oh man "gates of delyrium".

heaven!

[mel]

I also think the iPod / iTunes culture has emphasized the single track more than anything else over a complete album. I don't know if this is good or what. You can buy only the single tracks you want off any album offered at the iTunes store vs. having to buy the entire thing if you opt for the traditional CD.

[zztype]

I don't mind the single track bit at iTunes. I basically wanna buy what I want to buy. If I want a single track, let me have it. I don't WANT all tracks of all albums, always.

But I most often DO want the whole album. And when I buy an album, I want to listen to it the way I can off the album.

Most often, I will buy the CD if I really want the album. If I want a song or two, I'll buy from iTunes. If I want the music right away, I'll buy the album from iTunes. Otherwise, I'll wait and buy from a store, or get lucky and pick up the CD at a garage sale for $3. :)

[pzarquon]

The 'track' versus 'album' thing fascinates me, as I can imagine from the artist's perspective really wanting all the songs in sequence to tell a larger story. Of course, with most mass produced music out there, the real way it works is often spending 40 percent of your budget on producing two catchy, pop-friendly singles, 10 percent on filling the rest of the album with crap, and 50 percent on whole-hog promotion.

Fortunately, iTunes also sells albums, and at considerable discount to what you get at a music store. Click 'Burn to CD' and voila! An album without getting out of your pajamas. (Sans liner notes, though.)

I wish I could contribute to this thread, but it's been podcasts all week!

[mel]

All of the few songs that I either downloaded for free (that's week's freebie) or bought from iTunes are newer, single tracks that I generally have no interest in getting the entire album. I have limited myself to only purchasing those new music that I might like off of iTunes.

For older titles, I have most of what I want already on CD, LP or whatever... more CDs than anything else of course since I stopped buying vinyl on a regular basis years ago. That said I am on a slow track of trying to get everything that I either have/had on vinyl and tape to CD... which means waiting (for years sometimes) before I decide to buy this or that old album on CD.

What motivates me to get a marginal oldie album or single track is when I see the CD selling for dirt cheap at either Jelly's or some yard sale, should I stumble into one. The most recent time I bought a sizeable chunk of old CDs for dirt cheap was when Cheapos closed out earlier this year. I was with all the other vultures scouring the CD racks looking for those elusive bargains and snapping up what interested me, many titles for just a fraction of their normal retail prices. That was a good day.

If I ripped everything in my CD, vinyl and tape collection to MP3 or AAC, I would probably have about 300 gigs of total music, possibly more. Of course I don't have time or current hard drive capacity to do this. So over the years I have only elected to rip those favorite tracks that I like leaving the others alone. Some albums though I have ripped the entire thing to digital.

So far my current digital collection can still fit in its entirety on my 40 gig iPod. I know someone who does not have room on a single iPod to put everything he ripped on it. So he has to be selective.

That said, I cannot blame the attitudes and probable iPod/iTunes culture to focus these days on single tracks, especially when the industry continues to supply only 2 to 3 good tracks on a typical 12 track album.

Also most albums today are made with single tracks in mind. It's been years since I bought or listened to a "concept album" where all the tracks played in order made up a theme or story to the album, except for the ones I already own.... Pink Floyd's "The Wall" for example.

So what we have today is the digital resurgence of the 45 rpm record in digital form of course through singles oriented services such as iTunes.

From most of the postings on this thread there seems to be 2 kinds of listeners in this camp. Those who like to listen to a collection of songs all from one artist or album at the time, and those who like to mix it all up. I fall into the latter category where the mix to me is what makes iTunes and the iPod so much fun.

I know some people who don't like to listen to an artist's albums out of context from within that album. I have one friend who listens to albums in order from track 1 to the end all the time. She says that is the way the artist intended to have people listen to their album, and I agree.

However long before we got technology to easily scramble things around, people have been taking songs out of the confines of albums and treating them as individual tracks. It's done all the time... on the radio, with people who only bought singles, people who made mixed tapes and later mixed CDs and iTunes playlists, dance clubs, and even by the artists themselves when the songs are played in concert.... most of the time content from albums are all mixed up in a concert setting unless the concert is specifically set up to highlight a certain album.

So what do you think? Are you usually a person who listens to everything on an album in order or do you mix it up?

[zztype]

I listen to random tunes most of the time. Sometimes, I listen to whole albums, or many albums by the same artist. Depends on the mood. But for day-to-day real-life backtrack, I run randoms.

I often forget that there are a number of streaming radio stations that you can get through iTunes. And I think you can add radio streams to iTunes if it is not listed on the main menu. I know I have KTUH and Maui's Manao Radio added to my streaming list. I don't listen to the streams too often.

I just checked the smooth jazz you mentioned. They have a nice 128k stream and are playing Kenny G's "Songbird" right now. And now they have Dido's "Thank You" up... I never associated her with jazz.

Radio streaming was one of the first features other than playback and ripping of MP3 files that was offered with iTunes. I remember the OS 9x version had that too.

That's one of the things I like about that station...there's a little surprise every once in awhile; nothing along the lines of Axel Rose or Motley Crue, tho'...thank goodness (that's age related!)! I find that more and more I'm listening to streaming radio via iTunes when I'm home and saving the iPod for everywhere else.

[honumel]

Fun thread, my iPOD is on it's way back to me (It stayed in Florida longer than I did!) But I can share some of who is on it, and it does run the gamut..

Alot of Dave Matthews
Jack Johnson
Tim Reynolds
Hapa
Natalie Merchant
IZ
Grateful Dead
Red Hot Chili's
Gwen Stefani
Freddie Mercury (from his Barcelona Opera with Montseratte Clabell)
Frank Sinatra
Secret Garden (songs from the soundtrack)
George Benson
Cake
Santana
Jackson Browne



OH and a public service announcement regarding iPods and the like...

Always remember to take out your earbuds if you are going to sleep on a plane. Flying home from Hawaii, I fell alseep with them in and the songs just kept on playing. I woke up to hear screaming!!! My eyes flew open, I looked ahead of me, and no one appeared to be screaming, (heart beating wildly in my throat at this moment), looked behind me, no one screaming, then realized I had the earbuds in and that I was hearing the beginning of a live Dave Matthews song and it was the crowd yelling at the concert!!!!!!
PHEW! :cool:

[mel]

I was wondering... do iPod users/listeners mix most of their music up or organize music into formatic playlists. I tend to go with my custom playlists.... 60s music, 70s rock, today's hot sounds, etc. What about everyone else?

My iPod lists reflect my moods:
I don't know why, but I love Cher & Madonna. So they make up one list. And most of them are just damn good dance songs to exercise to.

Then I have a soul list: Temptations, Theme From Shaft, Lenny Kravitz doing "American Woman," Sly & The Family Stone, Marvin Gaye, Sister Sledge, Pointer Sisters.

Then I have a favorites list: Hollies, Steppenwolf, The Who, Police, Eagles, Mott the Hoople, Sugar Ray, U2, Steely Dan.

Then I have a chick music list: Sarah McLaughlin, Sheryl Crow, Avryl, Enya.

Then I have an iTrain set for exercising and yoga. www.itrain.com

There's so much more room. My favorite iPod video is Christopher Walken dancing to "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim. Just makes ya wanna fly!

[zztype]

Oh wow, Lava. What an artist list! I have most of those guys in my collection, too!

Oh, yeah. To answer Mel's question. I have all my music in playlists, by artist/album.

But much of the time, I listen to the music via shuffle at the top level of the ipod. But when I feel like listening to a particular groove, I can go to the playlists and hear exactly what strikes my mood.

Préludes deuxième livre - Modere Claude Debussy - Debussy: Préludes deuxième livre & Six épigraphes antiques
Rossini, Giachino - William Tell Overture - Momus Trombone Quartet
ALL DAY!
Don't ask... :D
Good choices, though.

I just picked up a little 1GB mp3 player a couple weeks ago, with the intention of loading it up with some music to listen to on a three-day road trip, but after I get back, my plan is to just pick some of my absolute favorite songs, in all styles, fill it up and let it shuffle.
I got one that has FM radio as well, so I can record shows for later listening, and it also allows me to load sans computer (without data, of course), but that's ok for my intended purposes.
It's a Creative Zen Nano Plus, for those who want to know. I plan to call it my iDiot.

I'll join later. Will this go viral?

Ty Kroll, formerly of the Tantra Monsters, said his friend's friend started last.fm.

Usually when on iTunes I'll browse through the radio categories. Right now I'm stuck in radioioOne and radioioEcclectic because they play a wide variety of music. My other favorites are radioparadise (eccletic), radioio80s, and eggradio (when working). MoutainApple radio is pretty good too.

I keep using mine for things like long radio programs and such, which I listen to while riding the bus to/from work. Right now, it's loaded up with an 11-hour Leonard Bernstein radio documentary. Next, the original "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" radio series, all the way up through the recently-produced volume five.

[kupomog]

Kupomog, that sounds like a great playlist for today.... 6-6-6.

A lot of times the podcast I listen to don't get included with my iPod lists. I think the podcast directory doesn't get read into the "most recently played" list of my iTunes.

Not the whole list, but this is what I played in the car this morning -- I call it the 'Traffic' Playlist -- so that it helps wake my butt up.

[pzarquon]

A lot of times the podcast I listen to don't get included with my iPod lists. I think the podcast directory doesn't get read into the "most recently played" list of my iTunes.Hmm. My "recently played" list is often nothing but podcasts. The one thing about when iTunes "logs" things, though, is that an item often isn't considered "played" unless it runs to the very end. A lot of times, I imagine podcast listeners quit halfway through a show, or at least while the podcaster is wrapping things up.

Mel...did you download Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" when it was a Tuesday free download? I wonder if that song is iTunes' first free download (promoting song and artist) to become successful. Does anyone know?

[mel]

Mel...did you download Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" when it was a Tuesday free download? I wonder if that song is iTunes' first free download (promoting song and artist) to become successful. Does anyone know?

Yep, I downloaded "Bad Day" when it was an iTunes freebie last August. That track was on a very slow burn to reaching bonafide hit status. Only this year did it top the Billboard Hot 100 chart as well as the iTunes Top 100...so while I got it for free, I am sure a lot more people paid for it.

In the end though, I ended up buying Daniel Powter's entire CD for $9.99 at BestBuy a few months ago and totally enjoy the rest of his music.

Another artist that was on a slow burn before achieving hit status this year was James Blunt whose song "You're Beautiful" had been around since about 2004 and nowdays you can't escape from hearing it on CHR and AC radio.

As for the iTunes freebies, most of the songs have dwelled in relative obscurity, though I find many songs to be very good that they end up on my high rotation list among the more than 8,000 songs I have in my iTunes library so far.

I think a couple of other iTunes freebies have become sort of hits, including "Cash Machine" by Hard Fi and "They" by Jem which was a hit on the electronic and dance charts. There may be others. I have to check my iTunes purchase logs.

Hmm. My "recently played" list is often nothing but podcasts. The one thing about when iTunes "logs" things, though, is that an item often isn't considered "played" unless it runs to the very end. A lot of times, I imagine podcast listeners quit halfway through a show, or at least while the podcaster is wrapping things up.

Yep, often I quit the podcast near the very end of it before the track actually plays out, so that largely has to do with them not being logged.. which usually means I never stick around to hear the bumper for the "Hawaii Association of Podcasters" thing since it appears on several that I listen to.

Then again, several podcasts I listen to, I don't actively subscribe to.. which means I download em from their website and never add them into my iTunes. I end up playing them just using the Quicktime player.

[tutusue]

I have iTunes set to shuffle so the Top 25 show me some interesting patterns that, basically, are out of my control in shuffle mode! I don't download complete CDs...only the songs I like. So...it appears that...
I love jazz (not a surprise!)
I love the song "Feel Like Making Love" (again, not a surprise as I have 19 versions of it! My favorite version isn't on the list above.)
I love Paul Hardcastle (while that's not a surprise, I notice I tend to download more of his tunes than any other artist. I hadn't kept track of that. Joe Sample runs a close 2nd.)
I'm surprised that more Hawaii artists aren't on my list. They're in the iTunes library. So...whatevers!

I'm really into the unsigned talent I find on sites like Soundclick (http://www.soundclick.com/) and GarageBand (http://www.garageband.com/htdb/index.html) . It's nice to hear stuff not heard on my radio. The best part is that most of the MP3 downloads are free :D

[mel]

It's been a while since I logged into my garageband account. I don't remember seeing a link for free downloading of their music. I know they have streaming there.

I just joined that Last.FM site (http://www.last.fm/) a few days ago. OK, their chart URL works for posting here :).

http://imagegen.last.fm/LivejournalColors/recenttracks/macpro.gif (http://www.last.fm/user/macpro/?chartstyle=LivejournalColors)

My most recent tracks should show above.
Do they have a setting for fixing the date/time stamp? I seem to be hours away from Hawaii Standard Time.

Most of the artists let you download for free now

I just submitted songs I listened to on my way to work this morning, but for some reason only the two most recent ones are showing up on my profile (http://www.last.fm/user/liberty_a320). And I know I listened to more than two songs on my way from Wai'anae!


Being a relative newbie on Last FM, I do notice that tracks played don't hang around on my Last FM homepage or the feeds I put on my website and the one listed a few messages back in this topic. They do change and seemingly at different rates depending on what module you choose to display. I notice Ryan's list posted here has the same music and artists listed as it was yesterday. Mine changed several times today.

It was good to know that the songs run on my iPod photo also get included with the count after I did an iPod/iTunes update today.

I see you have a lot of songs listed on your main page charts below the most recently played list.

And just for the record I'll list the last 30 most recently played songs today the good old fashioned manual way:

Don't Wait - Dashboard Confessional
Steady, As She Goes - The Raconteurs
Painted By Numbers - The Sounds
Not Tonight - The New Cars
Last Man Standing - Bon Jovi
Harlem Shuffle - The Rolling Stones
Stealing My Heart - The Rolling Stones
She's So Cold - The Rolling Stones
Free Ride - Edger Winter Group
Little Willy - The Sweet
Blockbuster - The Sweet
Blockbuster - Material Issue
What Girls Want - Material Issue
Bad Time - Material Issue
Next Big Thing - Material Issue
Everything - Material Issue
Cowboy Song - Material Issue
Valerie Loves Me - Material Issue
Bus Stop - Material Issue
Flaming Sword - Lightning Seeds
Tattiva - Kula Shaker
Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths
Monkey Gone To Heaven - Pixies

Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey - The Beatles

FWIW...

Right now, I'm listening to Return of The Tres by Delinquent Habits, it sounds really cool, even though I have no idea what they are singing about :p .

Actually right now, I have 342 songs in my Ipod, & sorry to say that I am just way tooo lazy to type them all down here :o :p .

Happy Listening & downloading ;) .

Aloha. :)

The easy way to do this is to use one of the services (like Last FM) mentioned in previous posts or to do it manually, follow these steps.

1. Go to your iTunes recently played list (make sure the option for "last played") is selected.

2. Copy any amount of songs you wish to post here by selecting the titles on the playlist. Use your computer's COPY command.

3. If you have a spreadsheet program, paste the songs into the spreadsheet. You will see the song-artist-time-genre and other information listed. Best to have this set up with song and artist as the first 2 columns in iTunes, so that when you paste it into your spreadshe
