Let's share and trade MP3 playlists.

Cafe Society
1

If you’ve got an MP3 player or have music on your computer, open up the library or playlist and randomise it.
Then preview the first 20 songs and give us the Artist and Song.
The intent is to get a sample of what you listen to without you determining what you share (hence the random thingy).

I’ll go first.
-Bush, Everyting Zen
-CoC, Albatross
-Seether, Fine Again
-3 Doors Down, When I’m gone
-Wrecks N Effect, *Rump Shaker * (don’t know how that got on there :wink: )
-Run DMC, Bounce
-Chevelle, Send the Pain
-Alice in Chains, Would
-DMX, Ain’t no Sunshine
-Nelly, *Country Grammer * (unedited)
-Audioslave, Cochise
-Puff Daddy, or Puff, or P Diddy, or whatever the hell he goes by now, It’s all about the Benjies
-Eminem, Brain Damage
-Sevendust, Praise
-Audioslave, Show Me How to Live
-Eminem, Soldier
-Sevendust, Shine
-Foreigner, Urgent (Live)
-Trapt, Still Frame
-Juvenile, Back That Ass Up
If you want to trade with me (or any of the following posters) then cut and paste my list into your post and create a new one for me with your Random 20.

Next…

I don’t know what you mean by trade, but here’s my list.

Well, by trade I mean if you like someone elses playlist and you wish you had those songs…or if the first 20 random songs that you bring up are real stinkers (and/or you’re sort of embarrassed by them) you can swap with another poster.
'Tis just for fun, there won’t be any real music swapping going on.

DfrntBreign,
I like your playlist, but I’ve never heard of Indians, or Clutch.
I’m into classic rock too, but I only have room on the player for 120 songs. (Next week I’ll probably have the Stones, the Beatles, the Eagles, the Talking Heads, and the Boss.)

6

My playlist came from the “Party Shuffle” in I-Tunes on my computer. It’s the first 20 songs generated from 6024 songs (30+GB). That many classic rock songs is more an indication of my age that my tastes, I think.

The Indians put out one CD (AFAIK) in 1993. My daughter liked it (and I do, too) so I put 4 songs in my library.

Clutch is a newer band my SOL told me about. I downloaded the album from I-Tunes after hearing the song “10001110101”. They are kind of a progressive rock band, more like Dream Theater than Gentle Giant or King Crimson.

Tell Me I’m Not Crazy, awesome.

Forget about the trading thing. It might have worked If I made a game out of it, but I couldn’t think of a clever way to do such a thing.

Keep the lists coming. I’m enjoying seeing what you guys like to listen to, and since it’s a random selection there isn’t any tinkering. It’s like we get to take a look into your musical soul.
