Just 80 days after my last such notice, I have just heard my 113,000th unique iTunes track, the slightly desultory Grateful Dead song “When Push Comes To Shove”, from the Dead’s show at Frost Amphitheatre on May 2, 1987. This particular file was digitized from my own tape of the show, which I was at …

112,000 Songs
Nearly four months after reporting one hundred and eleven thousand songs heard, I’ve just listened to my 112,000th unique iTunes track, a Mysterious Traveler radio episode from 1950, “The Man Who Tried To Save Lincoln”. It’s a little bit of Science Fiction, a little psycho-thriller, and a fair bit of fun. Check it out. 112,000 …
111,000 Songs
Mere days after completing my analysis of the first eleven hundred thousand songs listened to, I’ve just listened to my 111,000th unique iTunes track, the sarcastic and patriotic little ditty, “Mussolini’s Letter To Hitler”, by Carson Robinson. 111,000 unique tracks makes up 715.07 GB of data, with a total duration of 454 days, 12 hours, …
Data Analysis: The Eleven Myriad Things (110,000 Songs)
As promised, herewith begins the data analysis of my first 110,000 songs heard through iTunes. Top Level Saving the caveats for later, we dive in with the statement that I have listened at least once to 110,000 tracks in iTunes. Crossing this milestone occurred just before 5PM on April 17, 2019. Remaining to be heard …

110K Songs, for Real this time, no, seriously, I really Mean it
Yesterday, at approximately 4:51 PM, I heard my one hundred and ten thousandth track in iTunes. The particular track was a peppy instrumental version of “Fly Me to the Moon” from a Customusic sampler album. Customusic was — and still is, apparently (just don’t click on the main logo; the Customusic Web site does not …

Music Methodology Migration
or, Minuscule Mind Misses Mark, Mixing Music Movies More, Must Ameliorate Material Maintenance I must rescind my previous note that I had listened to 110K iTunes items, as I have discovered methodological problems which can no longer go unchallenged. I found the problems — or rather, found the problems to be intractable — whilst preparing …
Peccavi: Not Actually 110,000 (was One Hundred and Ten Thousand Songs (110,000)) [UPDATED]
NOTE: Due to recent (6 April 2019) changes in methodology, we can no longer support the contention that we have listened to 110,000 iTune tracks. In addition, the use of the term “Songs” in the original title of this post was misleading. Details to come in a new post describing the underlying problems with the …
One Hundred and Nine Thousand Songs (109,000)
Closing in on the next 10k, I’ve just listened to my 109,000th unique iTunes track, a slightly better than usual offering from the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre, “The Solid Gold Zarf”, which aired in the fall of 1981. 109,000 unique tracks makes up 812.42 GB of data, with a total duration of 413 days, 22 …

One Hundred and Eight Thousand Songs (108,000)
Yet another fictional milestone has been achieved, as I’ve just listened to my 108,000th unique iTunes track, a live performance of what purports to be a traditional song of Burma. Those who can read the album cover (reproduced here) may be able to provide more information; all I know is that the song I heard …

Time Parity Achieved!
I have finally regained ground in my iTunes collection and have listened to half my tracks in terms of time. Whilst adding the large selection of old radio shows which I enjoy (for the most part) listening to now, I no longer could claim to have listened to at least half of my iTunes collection …
