Once again, data about the last 1,000 (one thousand plus; see below) songs I listened to, which brought my total number of iTunes tracks heard up to 101,000.
Purview
We consider the songs heard since I hit one hundred thousand up through those which brought my total up to 101,000. Due to a new methodology, this made up more than 1,000 tracks — specifically, 1,043 items. These pieces were played through iTunes from June 9th to September 6, 2017.
New Methodology
The Problem
One issue I’ve alluded to before is the fact that as I’ve listened to each new thousand tracks, more than 1,000 tracks may be heard. This is because any song previously listened to which is heard again doesn’t contribute to the number of unique songs heard, but does add to the total number of tracks played over a given period of time. Additionally, any such old song heard may ‘push out’ a newly played track from a given set of the ‘last X’ of songs.
For example, if I’ve listened to 45 songs, and want to consider the last five songs listened to when I hit 50 unique tracks, I can envision the songs 41 through 45 thusly:
I then listen to four more brand new songs, bringing the total number of unique tracks up to 49.
At this point I listen to “Song A” again, which had previously been #41 — maybe I’m listening to my music on Random play, maybe I just like “Song A”.
But now “Song A” is #49 in my recently played accounting (it isn’t #50 because this song has been heard before, so doesn’t add to the total, just displaces previous ordering), and “Song E” becomes #44, though it had been #45 before. Thus when an entirely new song — “Song J” — is heard, if we only consider the most recent 5 tracks played bringing the total up to fifty, “Song F” is ignored, as this track which was once #46 is now #45.
Thus the “last x” songs may ignore newly played songs when previously played songs are heard again.
The Solution
To give a complete view of the most recently played tracks, therefore, we will consider the entirety of songs played since the last song mentioned in the previous review. We may end up looking at tracks we’ve seen before, but we will also have a more complete picture of the actual sounds heard through iTunes during the most recent addition of one thousand new tracks to the complete set of heard files.
New Problems
This new methodology means that the various percentages obtained are no longer immediately obvious from the absolute numbers involved. We must also consider whether to examine statistics for just the new songs or for the entire set. This we shall do on a case-by-case basis.
Overview
Given this new methodology, the first thing to be noted is that we shall consider 1,043 songs, as this is the number of tracks heard since the one hundred thousandth was played until 101,000 songs were played.
1,043 Songs Played
Of these 1,043 songs, 1,024 were heard for the first time.
We can no longer speak of “changes” to the conditions of my material life, as these changes now appear to have semi-permanent status. We will therefore not speak of these again. However, the effects of this unspoken continue unabated, and once again Radio Shows make up the plurality of the 1,000+ songs, although they do not preponderate this time: Almost 39% of all tracks played are Radio Shows.
38.93% of all tracks played were Radio Shows
To repeat, these 1,043 tracks were played between June 9th and September 6, 2017, a total of 89 days. Thus not quite 12 songs were played per day.
11.7 Songs played per Day
The total amount of time taken to play these 1k+ songs was 19 days, 19 hours, 52 minutes, and 45 seconds.
Total Time of Tracks: 19 Days, 19 Hours, 52 Minutes, and 45 Seconds
Since these songs were played over a stretch of 89 days, and given the total length of time of all played tracks above, this means that over 22% of this 89-day period was spent listening to iTunes in one way or another. This is a substantial reduction in the time per day listening to music, which corresponds to a substantial reduction in the material conditions of my life. (Darn, I wasn’t going to mention that….)

Genres
The data shows the prevalence of Radio Shows in my recent listening. Here is a chart, broken down by genre, showing what was included in these one thousand tracks:
And here is a table showing those genres which each provided over 1% of the total number of tracks played:
Songs Played by Genre
Radio Show 406 38.9% Rock 167 16% SubGenius 60 5.75% Classical 55 5.27% Pop 41 3.93% History 39 3.74% Jazz 30 2.88% Spoken & Audio 30 2.88% World 24 2.30% Gospel & Religioius 21 2.01% Alternative 16 1.53% Folk 16 1.53% R&B 16 1.53% Electronica/Dance 15 1.44% Other 15 1.44% Latin 14 1.34% Novelty 14 1.34% Punk 14 1.34% Hip Hop/Rap 13 1.25% Country 12 1.15%
All the rest of tracks played make up 2.4% of the total.
But once again the prevalence of Radio Shows is even greater than shown by this first view, since the average radio show is longer than most popular songs. If we inspect the tracks played with respect to their duration we discover that the Radio Show genre actually makes up just under 3/4 of the total.
74.17% of Listening Time devoted to Radio Shows
Here’s the chart:
And here’s the table of those genres contributing over 1% of the total time played:
Genre of Tracks Played by Time
Radio Show 74.17% 14d 16h 57m 4s SubGenius 11.71% 2d 7h 43m 39s History 3.73% 17h 46m 7s Rock 2.57% 12h 14m 43s Spoken & Audio 2.48% 11h 48m 13s Gospel & Religious 1.20% 5h 43m 36s
Technically speaking, the SubGenius genre could be folded in with the Radio Shows, as this genre comprises for the most part the early broadcasts of The Hour of Slack, back when these aired over KNON in Dallas, Texas. (Now, of course, the church uses podcasts to spread its message, such as it is. (Although a 21st-century re-devival may be inaugurated if the new SubGenius documentary Slacking Towards Bethlehem reaches its Kickstarter goal. (Pledge now!))) If this were done, the total time for Radio Shows would rise to just under 86%, and the number of tracks would be 44.65%. I’m keeping these separate, however.
Both genres, however, averaged over fifty minutes per cut, which led to an average length for played tracks of twenty-seven minutes and twenty-three seconds. This represents a small decline in the average from the last thousand tracks, being a minute and one second less.
Average length of played tracks: 27:22.5
The longest tracks were much longer this time around, even though the total average was similar. The longest average belonged to the SubGenius shows, just below an hour at fifty-five minutes and forty-four seconds (55:43.7). Radio shows had the next longest average, at fifty-two minutes and ten seconds (52:09.6). Three other Genres averaged over ten minutes: History (27:20.2), Spoken & Audio (23:36.4), and Gospel & Religious (16:21.7 — this genre averaged so high because I listened to some the lengthiest suras from The Holy Quran).
Average Length of Tracks by Genre
SubGenius (60 tracks) 55:43.7 Radio Show (406 tracks) 52:09.6 History (39 tracks) 27:20.2 Spoken & Audio (30 tracks) 23:36.4 Gospel & Religious (21 tracks) 16:21.7 Electronica/Dance (15 tracks) 6:12.3 Country (12 tracks) 4:56.4 Folk (16 tracks) 4:54 Rock (167 tracks) 4:24.0 Jazz (30 tracks) 4:18.8 R&B (16 tracks) 4:11.3 Alternative (16 tracks) 4:10.4 Latin (14 tracks) 3:56.6 Hip Hop/Rap (13 tracks) 3:50.8 World (24 tracks) 3:44.7 Pop (41 tracks) 3:26.6 Classical (55 tracks) 3:14.1 Punk (14 tracks) 2:50.2 Other (15 tracks) 2:44.8 Novelty (14 tracks) 2:28
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the short average for the Classical genre, which one thinks of as having longer movements.
Albums
Once again the Radio Show ‘albums’ contribute a large number of the tracks, and the major contributor from the last thousand supplied even more this time around. This was the Lux Radio Theatre, which provided nearly two hundred tracks (196). Besides the SubGenius Hour of Slack, another non-radio album gave over forty tracks to the cause, James Kibble’s rendition of Bach‘s Chorale Preludes for organ. In all, 9 albums had ten or more tracks played, and those 9 accounted for 443 (of 1043) tracks played.
9 albums provided 443 tracks (42.5%)
Rounding out the 9 albums mentioned above, two more non-radio albums appear, a 1988 Frost Amphitheatre show by Jerry Garcia, and a mediocre Christian Rock album — which went double platinum and was the 4th best selling Christian album of the 2000s — Almost There by MercyMe.

Artists
Except those shows and musicians mentioned earlier, only one artist breaks into the most played list with more than ten tracks — Columbia recording artist, Bob Dylan. He appears 29 times.
Songs
Almost the entirety of these 1,043 tracks were played for the first time. Only 19 songs had been played more than once, for a total of 61 plays. Of these, Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song” and The Honeydrippers’s cover of “Sea of Love” have been played the most, with both tracks racking up eight plays apiece.
Only three other songs among these with repeated plays were played more than twice: “The Blues Are Still Blue” by Belle & Sebastian and the Star Trek theme with Shatner’s voiceover auf Deutsch (both played 7 times), and the chant of a Pokot witch doctor from the album Kenya & Tanzania: Witchcraft & Ritual Music (played thrice).
The shortest track was only 8 seconds long, an Hour of Slack intro created by Mr. F. Le Mur. The longest track lasted two hours, thirty minutes and forty-six seconds; this was “Face of the Foe”, a week-long radio drama, from the series Zero Hour hosted by Rod Serling, which originally aired in 1973. The song closest to the average length (the median) was “The Lily of St Pierre” from the 1940’s radio program The Damon Runyon Theatre which clocks in at twenty-seven minutes and nineteen seconds.
Review
The average rating for all 1,000+ tracks was 3-1/2 stars. Once again, this is lower than usual for my rated items.
One of the reasons for the lengthier tracks in this last set of songs is my desire to make up for the deficit in tracks played by total time. I had achieved the goal of having played half of my iTunes collection whether looked at from number of tracks, total time of all songs, or amount of data occupied by all of the files. With the introduction of a significant set of radio shows into my collection, I no longer can claim to have listened to half my collection — at least not in terms of total time of all tracks (I have still heard more than half the tracks by total number and total file size). Though almost twenty days of iTunes were listened to in this last 1000+, only sixteen days (and ten hours) were gained towards the halfway point, due to additions to my collection since the last report. At the time of the 101,000th song play, the differential between played and unplayed tracks amounted to 120 days, 5 hours, 11 minutes, 37 seconds (321 days, 9 hours, 15 minutes, and 56 seconds [played] vs. 441 days, 4 hours, 4 minutes, and 19 seconds [unplayed]). If no other tracks are added or deleted (which is already not true), I’d need to listen to just half this amount to reach the halfway point. Thus:
60 days, 2-1/2 hours of listening to reach the halfway point
Besides the radio shows I’ve previously named as worth checking out, I’d like to add Stand By For Crime. (Trigger Warning: blatant sexism)
Another radio show which deserves your especial attention is Freedom, U.S.A., which follows Senator Dean Edwards (played by Tyrone Power) as he defends the U.S. Constitution, ferrets out mal- and misfeasance, and protects freedom — not just in the good ol’ U.S. of A., but around the entire world. The program is an audible, laudable civics lesson, hearkening back to an earlier age when words had meanings and communication was still possible.*
*But see Rebecca West’s “There Is No Conversation” for a contrasting viewpoint (several, in fact).
(Now standard procrastinatory disclaimer paragraph)
I still hope to make an analysis of the full set of my first 100,000 songs. But I do not doubt that …. Blah, blah, blah, blah….

†The numbering here is “up to” the 101,000th song, thus negative count numbers are shown for those tracks which got “pushed down” below the 100k mark, due to those forces mentioned in the opening section of this post. To get the current track count simply add 100,000.
