itunes meme. hooray for lameosity!
it's worth noting that a fair amount of my stuff is either poorly tagged or completely untagged. this is because i have the stuff fairly well organized by file name and directory. i still use xmms to listen to my music, because frankly my file system takes care of the organization for me. oh and searching too. earth to everyone working on complicated new search tools: the unix locate command is both awesome and a gazillion years old. no it is not as fancy as spotlight/google desktop search but i don't really care. also i rarely rip cds, so this is not fully representative of my music collection.
to do this, i pointed daapd at my music files and looked at the share in itunes on a mac laptop i happen to have sitting here. this also leaves out the approximately 50 ogg files i have on my computer.

First song that comes up on shuffle: Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie's "Bill Shakespeare" sketch (It's absolute crap! What is he talking about? He's going to put on a bow and arrow and potter down to the seaside? This is Prince Hamlet, not King Canute! He might as well kill himself if that's the best idea he can come up with.) This is exactly why i don't use these programs, cause i don't want a track like this to come up on shuffle. yeah i know i could make it so it didn't, but it's easier for me to just have a humor directory and not include it in my stuff.
How many songs come up when you search for "sex"? 7
How many songs come up when you search for "death"? 5. The best is easily "Death!" which is a track from Edward Scissorhands.
How many songs come up when you search for "love"? an astounding 95. this includes such not-so-lovely titles as "this is not a love song", "love to hate you", "tainted love", "love and destroy", "love is strange", "strangelove", "love will tear us apart" and of course "i loveded you piggy." anyone want to guess the artists of all of those tracks? careful: one of them is a cover.
