For instance: I now hate Creed, Rod Stewart & Billy Joel because I can hear them in my mind without any actually playing them.) so what I did was create a series of smart playlists using the 'grouping' column and the various sorting options.<BR/><BR/>Smart playlists can be used to pick out anything by any category, so I have about 20 that do nothing but look for blanks in various columns, or songs I haven't listened to in X many months/years. The only thing I can't get it to do is look for de-selected songs and broken links (! marks in the #field).<BR/><BR/>So a song might be tagged (because iTunes & the music industry have arbitrary genres and are dated by cd issue) Family (taken from M&D's cd), Soundtrack, Motown, Original Decade# (60's), or XMas, Hannukah, Winter (no mention of XMas in song), Halloween, Summer Beach, Disney, etc.<BR/><BR/>You could also try the new Genius feature first.<BR/><BR/>I would also recommend looking at high skip counts on certain songs. This records the number of times you've fast forwarded to the next song(s). Usually an indication of the song's lack of appeal.<BR/><BR/>I'm terrible about keeping up with new music and my taste is somewhere between eclectic and awful. I will however recommend two things.<BR/><BR/>One, if you don't already have it, go out and get the Original 1987 Transformers Movie soundtrack. If only for the Stan Bush's 'The Touch', 'Dare' & Weird Al's 'Dare to be Stupid'.<BR/><BR/>In the 'Peaches for Teaches' theme, try the Europop singer E-Rotic. Far more melodic than 'Peaches', these silly pop songs have suggestive lyrics that get stuck in one's head. It reminds me of Aqua's single 'Barbie Girl'Kimichi Tsuzukuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147401204346892119noreply@blogger.com
