In-order or shuffled?

Postby Slater » Tue May 22, 2007 8:22 pm

When you fire up your media player, do you listen to your music in a particular order or shuffled?

For example, do you listen to an album starting with the first song, then the second, followed by third, and so on? Or do you load albums in and hit the random-order button?

I must have ORDER!!!!

...unless I'm picking out one track after another myself. Well, even then I don't trust the Shuffle setting to pick for me.

I always listen to albums in order. XD

There are some days, though, when I can't choose what to listen to, that I just click "all songs" and shuffle them. Any other day, though, I always have my music in order. XD

Sometimes I listen in a certain order. Sometimes I like to throw everything in there and hit "shuffle". It just depends on my mood.

If it's an album I never listen to it on random. If it's my iTunes then it's mostly on shuffle.

Shuffle, baby.

Even when I'm listening to certain artists, I shuffle. That way it's a complete surprise each time.

The only time I don't shuffle is when certain tracks segue into each other.

(Because iTunes doesn't allow me to pick the order of the songs ::glares at iTunes:: I usually put it on shuffle. For playlists, though, I have them in order of most listened to, so sometimes I do order too. Only sometimes.)

I don't have a fancypants ipod or anything, just cd players (a personal one and a stereo). For those I of course go in order. But when I wanna fire up my Xbox 360 playlist, I gotta go random. There's too much on there to do it in any sort of order.
