Music Lists

Back before podcasts, I listened to A LOT of full albums (I still buy CDs so that I can listen to them straight through, over and over). I'll spare you lots of words about each of these, but the chronology is here (although I wasn't always on the cutting edge).

(Note: I can't figure out what full albums I was listening to in 2000...the mix CD still ruled my life)

Songs of the Decade (49 of the 73 on my December playlist were able to be published in iTunes. I thought I had figured out how to make it work by using only songs that I owned, but if they are songs that don't match iTunes in the slightest way, they don't show up in the published iMix. You used to be able to drag and drop songs you didn't own into the mix and that would solve it...why must you prevent me from the drag and drop iTunes? Why?)

Sigh...
