Random Sampling
I first saw this suggested at Matt Bronleewe's blog via Infuze Magazine a while back, and I played along using the stuff built up on my computer-based iTunes library.
If you didn't click the blog link above, here's the deal: set your iPod on random ("shuffle" in Applespeak) and write down the first ten songs that cycle through. No fair editing out embarrassing tracks.
Here's what comes up on my iPod:
What pops up on your iPod (or non-Apple-branded mp3 player or computer-based jukebox or actual Gee-Dad-It's-a-Wurlitzer jukebox)? No fair selectively editing; if I can admit to having Taco on my iPod you can face up to the fact you have Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe through the Tulips" on yours.
