Listening to ALL your music


I found that I seem to be listening to only a few CD's in my collection very often. While it is nice to have "reference" recordings, I found that I am concentrating on sound, not music. So, to counter this, I have decided to listen to all my CD's . I will not aquire any new CD's or make any changes to my system until I have listened to every note on every CD I have.

They are arranged alphabetically, and I seem to be able to do 2 or 3 a night. I have close to 700 CD's, so this should take a while.

Has anyone else done this?

My collection is sorted by artists relationships along with styles of music. For example David Byrne I can retreive among the Talking Heads bundle and Bryan Eno can be found between David Byrne and Phill Manzanera while Phill Manzanera can be found along with Bryan Ferry within Roxy music bundle etc...

Very often I figure the need of using equalizer due to many found rock recordings sound horrible but but still feel hunger to listen to it.

As to underware I prefere my few pair of Banana Republic boxers among bunch of others and also use them up whenever possible among other crap I have in my bedroom drower. I'd trash the rest of my undies and buy Bananas but they cost like a good Wallmart jeans indeed.
Hmm,

Funny, as the underwear drawer does need rotation. Seems with wash all the time, the same ones stay on top..Maybe I should alphabetize my underwear, and go throught them all sequentially...........
I could have told you Rlips. It's universal. Men are naturally not monogamous but we stick with one pair of underwear real good! If women were underwear divorces would be way down.

And forget about the vinyl thing. It doesn't work with underwear, least not for me. No synergy there for me.

Yea hy61 I like to let the boys run free then and again.

Sincerely
I remain,
I think most of us stick to a certain frecquent menu and forgot about a considerable ammount of music we own.
I played a little trick to add surprise to my listening:
numbered all discs and made a random number generation in a simple excell spreadsheet and now and then pull it out and pick a number to listen. I found that I´m building up a shopping list based on the experience and the flash back in time in some cases has been very interesting.
