Genius from iTunes, I mean. Although I’ve always had MP3 players, I got my first iPod with some of my tax return. Whether I’m listening to the Nano or playing music on the 'puter, I always hit shuffle and let the chips fall where they may.
Today was the first day I looked at these. Mine shows off my Top 40 old geezer blackness.
Funk Mix
Hip Hop Mix
AOR Classic Rock Mix
Classic Soul Mix
Old School Rap Mix
Classic Motown Mix
Alternative Pop/Rock Mix
Classic R&B Mix
Punk Pop Mix
Contemporary R&B Mix
Alt Metal Mix
Disco Mix
I’m always interested in what other people listen to and I’m also curious on what other kinds of mixes there are.
P.S. Surprised and disappointed I don’t have a Big Beat Mix.
Crap! Wrong forum. Sorry!
