mmcirvinPlay count is greater than [some number, choose to taste];
Limit to [some other number] chosen by least recently played;
Update live.
The lower limit keeps off the stuff that you really don't like all that much. (Why is it even in your collection? Because you have an obsessive streak about this and your iPod is not yet full. Or you once liked it and think you might like it again under some conditions not currently obtaining, though, frankly, with that Peter Gabriel double live set this argument is getting more and more dubious. Let's be honest here.)

Also, during working hours, limit to loud-ass techno. Symphonies are not distracting enough. Also, many classical recordings feel the need to range in volume all the way from inaudible to deafening. Still, I suppose that's preferable to the standard pop formula of never changing volume *or* tempo *or* key, possibly over the course of an entire album. (In an extreme case, the guitarist for the Ramones only ever made two chord changes, one in 1975 and one in 1982)

Date: 2004-08-28 10:31 am (UTC)The list clearly wouldn't work as your sole means of listening to music. It's good as a "surprise me but don't annoy me" mechanism, though.
I'm experimenting with one that only does this with +10 counts and a second one covering the 4-9 range.
