Hello LJ!
It's been a long time... Much has happened. I have decided to start utilizing you again. I don't even know if I still have friends on this any more... haha. :)
Music
Anyone that knows me knows that I spend a large portion of my life wrapped up in music. I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful job that allows me to listen to music while I work. I have played and continue to play live music (not well, by any means). My personal MP3 collection is nearing the 10,000 mark. I love me some music.
I found a killer little application called "iTunes Statistician" that takes your iTunes library and extrapolates it's recorded data on your listening habits and gives you an interesting breakdown.
This is not entirely accurate, as this iTunes library is only 2-3 years old. So, rather than a 'of all time' list, this is more of a current break down of my favorite artists and albums. Also, over the last few years I've had to listen to the Foo Fighters a lot more than I normally would have due to IPTF.
The following information is based off of listens over the last few years.
Total songs listened to: 35958
Time spent listening to music: 12 Weeks, 5 Days, 11 Hours
Total songs in library: 8387
