I'm getting tired of my iPod play lists. They include a lot of my favorite songs, but hearing them over and over gets kind of boring. I've found that I just put my iPod on the "shuffle the whole damn thing" setting and then just fast forward all the Christmas and classical music that comes up.
I had an idea for making new playlists this morning on the train. Like I'm sure many of you had, I used to have boxes full of "mix tapes" that I used to play in my car during high school and college. Tapes that friends used to make for me or songs I'd record off the radio. That kind of thing. I should dig up those old tapes and mine them for playlists. I'd love to hear the "Yvonne List" or the "Jennifer B List" again. I loved those tapes.
It might be a bit of a search to find MP3s of all the songs on them (since the tape was often the only copy of the song that I had - I used them as a way to learn about new music). But I think it would be fun research effort. And a good way to freshen up my iPod.
