How we use music today

This evening I created a music playlist in Itunes. If I owned a radio station, this is the kind of music I'd play – and nobody would listen. This playlist is nearly 260 songs and about 16.5 hours worth of music.

Rock, zydeco, country, folk, 1-hit wonders, swing, jazz, easy listening, blues, soundtrack, big band, and bluegrass. You name it and it's there.

I really love Itunes and the way it allows me to use my music.
