For the last… I dunno, year and a half, I’ve been listening to every single song on my iPod and rating it as I go. I have completed my task – every single song currently on my iPod has a rating!* Here’s what my ratings mean:<\/p>\n

  • 5 Stars: The best songs.\n
  • 4 Stars: Songs I’d play around other people.\n
  • 3 Stars: Songs I personally like.\n
  • 2 Stars: Needs attention – misnamed, truncated, low bit rate, or maybe I want to remove the entire album.\n
  • 1 Star: Remove from iPod.
    \nSo I have 587 5-star songs, 2519 4-star songs, and 853 3-star songs… and a few leftover 2-star songs I haven’t dealt with yet. That’s a really good distribution. Ideally everything would be 4- and 5-star, so what I’m doing now is re-listening to everything with a little bit more of a discriminatory ear and considering whether I really enjoy listening to everything – and if not, rating it down.
    \nYes, I know it’s really lame to pay so much attention to my choice of music like this. I just like listening to the best stuff is all. Perhaps when I get a new iPod (80GB probably) I’ll throw everything on and make use of playlists a whole lot more… but I’ll still be rating everything.
    \nI’ll put up a table of my 5-star songs soon.
    \n*Well, every song HAD a rating until I removed the latest 1-star songs, leaving room for a few more albums. So I have 100 more to go but I’ll just leave those in with the mix and rate ’em as I come upon them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
