shuffle setting on ipod...
 
They are ok I guess, but STOP INSISTING ON PLAYING THE SHINS LIKE EVERY OTHER FREAKIN' SONG, SHUFFLE SETTING ON IPOD!

afterthefact 02.06.2008 03:05 PM

Yeah, well, you don't have a name.

floatingslowly 02.06.2008 03:05 PM

I'm glad you posted this.

I am CONVINCED that there is some sort of cosmic algorithm at work inside myPod.

I pretty much only listen to random shuffle (either shuffle all or shuffle artist) and sometimes the song by song playlist is spoOOoky.

by the way, the answer to yr "problem" can be found within iTunes. you can select the level of randomness involved in the shuffle.

I like to keep it on same artist "some of the time", but this does not explain how myPod knows that Sonic Youth and Free Kitten are related!

ipods are for pussies

_slavo_ 02.06.2008 03:06 PM

The problem could easily be solved by deleting The Shins from your iPod, which would, indeed, be a good thing, afterthefact.

nicfit 02.06.2008 03:08 PM

my nano must have a heart or a psychic connection with me.
I usually have around 1000 songs in it and more than once in random shuffle mode it played EXACTLY the song I was thinking of in that precise moment.
spooky.
we miss pookie.

HA HA!
 

afterthefact 02.06.2008 03:12 PM

I should take the Shins off, not because I don't like them at all, but I never listen to them.

Thanks, I'll explore my iTunes tonight.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks iPods have some sort of AI built into the shuffle... weird combinations of stuff come up on a regular basis, but the freakiest thing was one time i had some friends over, and i had set iTunes up on fullscreen so you could scroll through the albums, like a jukebox. nobody had picked anything, so it was still just on shuffle. i was telling someone how good Dave Chappelle's Block Party was, and mentioned that Mos Def was in it. somebody else was saying he was good in Hitchhikers Guide. Meanwhile, the song ended. so what comes up next?




 



mos def - black on both sides... it was like the freakin thing heard what we were talking about, called up mos def, then he shows up on my screen and he's all like... i heard you talkin bout me...

what are the chances? 1 in 13373, because my iPod has 13373 songs worth of r0x0r noise and is 133t3r than any of ya'll suxx0r !Pod.

I have trouble working the shuffle thing out.

And I'm not a fan of how Itunes puts your songs in alphabetical order rather than the actually album tracklisting.

Minor problems.

???

Doesn't do that for me.

Norma J 02.06.2008 06:10 PM

I'm not meaning onto my Ipod, just in the Itunes library. It puts it in normal order once I put the album on my Ipod.

One of my ear buds on my headphones are busted too, I think. It now sounds like a rattling can.

StevOK 02.06.2008 07:30 PM

See, that's why I didn't put any Shins on my Zune.

floatingslowly 02.06.2008 07:47 PM

iTunes is (unfortunately) the most intuitive mp3 player I've ever used.

and when I say mp3 player, I mean aac. :(

that's the only thing I hate about it, but I'm willing to forgive.

There are preferences you can set that let you put the songs in order quite a few different ways.

ok.
But why?

su x* 02.07.2008 08:21 AM

because any other mp3 will do the same or better job for 1/4 of the price, especially in the case of shuffle

i hate my mini

nicfit 02.07.2008 08:42 AM

I still fail to see the point in calling ipods' owners "cunts on sticks", "pussies", "insert random insult". Is that some sort of penis envy?

Actually other mp3 players WON'T do the same thing. I was originally not going to get an iPod, but after checking them all out, I went with it because it was much simpler to use.

afterthefact 02.07.2008 08:55 AM

Please Nefeli, stop making me nostalgic for my old walkman :(

yeh, gotta love that clickin' wheel :) .

Nef, tapes change is an art, and a useful one considering all the "cassette only" releases coming out... my "overall" point is : why complain about other people's choices for such a personal thing (choosing the favourite "media player")? bah.
And I think I wouldn't even notice you changing tape coz I need new glasses.
now I thought about: skating+tapes =

the price tag is too big a downside if you're not keen on the video part. though itunes does make life a lot easier

I can see that, but I use the video part all of the time... plus, my wife got mine off of eBay for about half the price :)

breeders and faggots both spend way too much time worrying about whether people and things have the proper gender.


"hey fagboy, go suck a dick."

"girl, please... vaginas are gross."



most people never really get beyond an elementary school mentality in regards to gender, apparently. i find that strange.

nicfit 02.07.2008 10:41 AM

he's muteking, he can kick yurr ass when he mutates:



 


well, m1rr0r dash , "confusing" nefeli for a male cartoon skater sounded strange to me.
I wouldn't say to my mom "I love you, you're such a nice man." , btw...:confused:

floatingslowly 02.07.2008 10:48 AM

REAL MEN use skateboards (REAL MEN also pretend to be skateboards).


 



rollerskates are an excuse for girls (and girlbots) to wear their cute 70's tube socks.

REAL MEN don't wear cute 70's tube socks.
