MOG Stats 5- 100K-Many Lists

Posted 7 months ago


Since July 12 2007, according to lastfm◄, I just crossed the 100,000 songs listened to threshold. It was Ella Fitzgerald with A Sunday Kind Of Love doing the trick in turning over my listening odometer.

This works out to about 152 songs a day. This seems like a lot, because it also includes my wife's listening to her ipod during that period . Since I load her ipod there isn't too much skewed in these numbers, except for the grand total of songs.

The stats show I listened to 10,425 different artists, so I get around a little and listen to a lot of compilations...I did this real quick, so please don't quibble with my genre groupings too much. I don't really use 'em myself. Just wanted to get a few more names into the mix. I listened to at least 75 tracks from any artist on these lists. No stats for the car..

    Kudos, my friend. In the same period of time, since I joined A DAY before you (weird), I've only amassed 31K, and I feel like that's me listening nearly 24/7.

    Your penchant for James Brown is borderline unhealthy, but I can't talk because my numbers are eerily similar for my number 1, Mr. Adams.

    heh, you have a point there..and if you add up everything under the JB umbrella, I'm even sicker. Of course, the P-Funk umbrella might beat out James Brown for me..In the end though, JB and P-funk make up  4% of the total listens. heheh, I'm crazy.

    Have you figured a way to purge the memory of the shuffle option on an iPod?  I thought it was our crappy little shuffle that was messed up, always repeating the same song, but even our touch has issues playing certain artists or songs.

    Oh hi, CBW..aaah, no, I sure don't know a whole heckuva lot about the ipod..other than how to load it. I'm sorry. I have barely even listened on one. Hope all is well with you. Haven't see you in ages.

    You are a madman! But in a good way.

    BTW, I got the Gliss album you mentioned, and I shall be spinning it soon. If it's not good, I'll hunt you down. I will!

    Dale didn't tell me anything... I see how it is! Can't be bothered to EMCD his own twin sister! {this all means that you're out of the woods for now, and instead I'll go yell at Dale; well played, funk fiend...}

    Dale is the essence of good in all things..except one...He is the head of the largest Music Crack Dealership Network in the world. A Music Crack Kingpin, if you will..Of course, for his junkies this is a blessing.
