Morris Wed, 21 Feb 2007 01:01:47 +0000 http://alexking.org/blog/2007/02/20/rated#comment-54586 Chris is right, Alex: My friends call me "our musical crack dealer". It also helps that I always have about five CDs from my library in someone else's hands at all times. That said, you didn't say how many tracks were in your library. I'm curious ... but also glad that you're not starting a penis-envy thing here. Torrenting legal bootlegs is the 21st Century of tape-swapping amongst Deadheads and their ilk. It always <strong>astounds</strong> me when an artist forbids all taping. [I get not allowing SBD patches, and frankly, I'll take a good AUD over most any SBD.] Okay, okay ... I'm going to shut up now, because otherwise, I could write an entire entry here in the comments. Besides, I have another bootleg to publish. :) Chris is right, Alex: My friends call me “our musical crack dealer”.

Barzeski Tue, 20 Feb 2007 18:32:10 +0000 http://alexking.org/blog/2007/02/20/rated#comment-54572 I have a playlist in iTunes called "Unrated/Unplayed" that lists all of my songs which are either unrated or unplayed. I routinely set my Party Shuffle to play from that list. Combined with Synergy, this makes staying on top of my ratings quite easy.
