Can't find the thread I started about a year ago. However, as a reminder: switch your IPod to random play and then list the first ten consequetive tracks that it plays for you. Now what does these tunes actually tell you about the narrowness or breadth of your musical tastes? Since I've doubled the number of tracks on my IPod in the last year (but few full albums included), I thought it might be time for another spin. So am I one tracked, multi-tracked or eclectic?????

There's two of us then.
