Tip: Think Different about Your Playlist

Getting tired of listening to your carefully crafted playlists? Is the random setting too much for you too cope with? Try this.

Sort your library by song name instead of artist or album. Select a letter and click play. A station I used to listen to in San Francisco would do an A to Z week every once in a while. This is like that. You'll discover songs that you'd forgotten, and the juxtaposition of artists creates fun segues like Ryan Adams' "(Argument With Rawlings Concerning Morrissey)" serving as an intro for REM's "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville."
