playlist crazy
So, yes, I have a 60 gig black ipod video now. And yes, I love it. Its awesome. Have the car attatchment, its great. So since this purchase I have gone organizing crazy with all my mp3s. Now I have a work computer and a home computer. Both with mostly similar, but also both have mp3s that the other one doesn't have. Don't ask how this happened. Now getting this sorted between the computers has been rough and still an ongoing process. I'm done with the one at work and now have to go fix the one at home. So I've been going through fixing track numbers, titles, genres. You name it. Now that all my music is mostly organized. I'm going playlist crazy and I've taken on quite an endevor. I love mix cds. I love the art of making them. You can't just pick your 15 favorite songs and put them on the album. Songs need to flow. Both lyrically and musically. You can't go angry loud to pleasent soft. Or can you? Sometimes you can. But it takes finesse. What is really fun about this is that it's really a gut feeling thing. Oh, after this song I need a song with a build up at the beginning. Or I need to go acoustic after this song. Or at this point the emotional level has risen that I need a song with some screaming. I love it. Here is my major endevor. I went through almost all my songs and picked out my favorites(songs I'm almost always in the mood for). Which right now is 355 songs. Now the challenge is aranging these into the worlds most amazing and long playlist. I did the first 40 songs. Started listening through it, and was really disapointed with the first 10 songs or so. However, everything after that has been beyond amazing. Now I have up to 100 songs done. Call me crazy but I'm having a blast. It's much more chalanging that a 15 song compilation but has a lot more flexablilty. I love it. Anyone else love making a good mix tape? I'll try and post my amazing song list at some point.
