Educated Guesswork

I have just listened to my 105,000th unique iTunes track, Ringo Starr’s “Six O’Clock” from his album Ringo. It’s a middling song from an otherwise surprisingly good solo album from the Fourth Beatle.

105,000 unique tracks makes up 771.99 GB of data, having a total duration of 376 days, 4 hours, 10 minutes, and 6 seconds (as usual, ignoring multiple plays). Left unplayed in my iTunes collection now are 86,066 songs (558 less than last check-in, with thus 442 tracks added in the meantime). These unplayed tracks take up 622.9 GB of data (↓ 7.28 GB) with a playing time of 395 days, 3 hours, 41 minutes, and 57 seconds (↓ 7¼ days). We are still 19 days away from parity in time played vs. time to play.

To reach the 105,000th unique track, I listened to 1,147 songs (from track #104,000), which total 11.97 GB of data, and laid end-to-end comprise 11 days, 8 hours, 30 minutes, and 54 seconds of audio.

I am no longer promising further analysis, as I’m still owing the same for the 103Kth and 102Kth sets of iTunes songs.

Or, A Full Year’s Worth of Songs!

I have just listened to my 104,000th unique iTunes track, Thelonious Monk’s “Ruby My Dear”. This particular version seems to have Glenn Gould-itis, as someone can be heard muttering into the microphone as the piano is played.

104,000 unique tracks comprises 760.81 GB of data, with a total duration of 365 days, 5 hours, 40 minutes, and 27 seconds (ignoring multiple plays) — this is ridiculously close to one solar year, which is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. My iTunes collection seems to have had 86,724 items left unplayed — 619 less tracks than the last milestone, for a net gain of 381 tracks. The unplayed tracks take up 629.62 GB of data (↓ 24.9GB) with a playing time of 402 days, 7 hours, 32 minutes, and 9 seconds (↓ 14.8 days). These numbers assume, naturally, that the suspect numbers from the last iTunes milestone are accurate, which is not necessarily a correct assumption; see last post.

The delta between played total time of tracks vs. unplayed time (my primary concern at the moment) comes in at a deficit just under 37.1 days, a clawback of over 34 days.

To reach the 104,000th unique track, I listened to 1,177 songs (from track #103,000), which total 17.7 GB of data, and laid end-to-end comprise 18 days, 21 hours, 7 minutes, and 22 seconds of audio.

I will no longer promise further analysis, as I’m still owing the same for the 103Kth and 102Kth sets of iTunes songs.

I listened to my 103,000th unique iTunes track a little while ago — on January 9 — but have not until this moment posted the news, due to fatigue, lack of time, and a realization of unimportance. Track number 103,000 was the 1947 Green Hornet episode, “City Hall Shakeup”, which originally aired on July 15 of that year, if the information from The Interwebs is to be trusted.

I have to provide a caveat for the following data, which is suspect and must have an asterisk forever associated with it due to the fact that I did not collect the information at the time, but have tried to recreate it from the numbers currently at my disposal. Changes to the underlying dataset (such as the deletion or later addition of iTunes files) may have changed the actual numbers which would have been extracted a week ago when the minor milestone immortalized in this post was actually achieved. In fact, it is almost certain that these numbers are (slightly) inaccurate, as I’ve added a few files in the meanwhile, including the Star Blazers theme song.

Given the caveat above, 103,000 unique tracks comprises 743.87 GB of data, with a total duration of 346 days, 4 hours, 56 minutes, and 6 seconds (ignoring multiple plays). My iTunes collection seems to have had 87,343 items left unplayed — 703 less tracks than the last milestone, for a net gain of 297 tracks. The unplayed tracks take up 654.48 GB of data (↓ 9.9GB) with a playing time of 417 days, 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 49 seconds (↓ 17 days).

The delta between played total time of tracks vs. unplayed time (my primary concern at the moment; see my latest post) comes in at a deficit just over 71.3 days, an almost 30 day clawback.

To add another 1,000 tracks to my grand total, 1,323 tracks were played. The higher number is due both to changes mentioned in my last iTunes tracking analysis post, as well as work done on my cousins’ CD (also known as torture for ears).

More detailed analysis to come, and I still have to finish the 102K analysis (which is currently underway), and I still need to put the entire first 100K under the microscope.

Just listened to my 102,000th unique iTunes track, John Cale’s “Fairweather Friend” from his 1970 album Vintage Violence.

102,000 unique tracks comprises 731.52 GB of data, with a total duration of 332 days, 10 hours, 24 minutes, and 27 seconds (ignoring multiple plays). My iTunes collection still has 88,046 items left unplayed — 713 more tracks than the last milestone, for a net gain of 1713 tracks. The unplayed tracks take up 654.48 GB of data (↓ 1.1GB – a drastic decline in the decline) with a playing time of 434 days, 11 hours, 25 minutes, and 12 seconds (↓ 6 days).

The delta between played total time of tracks vs. unplayed time (my primary concern at the moment; see my latest post) comes in at a deficit just over 101 days.

To add another 1,000 tracks to my grand total, 1,083 tracks were played.

More detailed analysis to come, and I still need to put the entire first 100K under the microscope.

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.

Lux Radio Theatre	196 tracks
Hour of Slack	54
Sears Radio Theater	53
NBC University Theater	46
Bach Organ Works – Individual Chorale Preludes	41
The General Mills Radio Adventure Theater	16
CBS Radio Mystery Theater	14
1988-07-09 – Frost Amphitheatre	13
Almost There	10

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.

Envoi

See you next time! (Very soon, as I’m less than 75 tracks before the next 1k are heard!)

Just listened to my 101,000th unique iTunes track, a long (and at times quite good) version of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” by The Jerry Garcia Band at one of many shows at the Keystone Palo Alto in 1977, this one on July 2nd (how did anyone in the Bay Area get anything done in 1977?).

101,000 unique tracks comprises 713.61 GB of data, with a total duration of 321 days, 9 hours, 15 minutes, and 56 seconds (ignoring multiple plays). My iTunes collection still has 87,333 items left unplayed — 570 fewer tracks than the last milestone, thus a net gain of 430 tracks. The unplayed tracks take up 655.59 GB of data (↓ 16.5GB) with a playing time of 441 days, 4 hours, 4 minutes, and 19 seconds (↓ 16 days).

More detailed analysis to come, and I still need to put the entire first 100K under the microscope.

As promised, here’s some data about the most recent 1,000 songs I listened to. These made up the last 1% of 100,000 unique tracks heard.

Purview

We consider merely the 1,000 tracks played by iTunes (or its related phone app) from the April 2 to June 9, in the year 2017* — which tracks comprise numbers 99,001 – 100,000 in my ‘Already Played’ Smart Playlist.†

*Those paying attention to my earlier report will note that the last investigation covered songs played through March 28th — So why the 5 day gap? Due to the fact that songs may be played multiple times, a repeated play of a song heard before may ‘push out’ a new song from the LastX set of songs. That is, if we consider the ‘Last 10’ songs and start from the 91st song, counting up to 100 unique songs, and songs 91-99 are all new (single play) tracks, but the would-be 100th track is a repeat of #1, we’ve still only listened to 99 total songs; if we now listen to a new track for #100, the song which had earlier been #91 has been ‘pushed down’ to #90 (due to the fact that the former #1 is now #99) and the time at which that song was heard has been lost, replaced by the Last Played time of the former song #92 (now #91). Taking this over 1,000 songs explains why we’re missing quite a few days. Alas, some songs are lost from our view, like some strange Feynman Diagram of data.

†More details about this playlist and associated details (including that covered in the preceding note) can be found in this earlier post on reaching 99,000 songs. The same caveats about data modification apply.

Overview

Changes in the conditions of my material life continue. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the primary fact presented by these 1,000 songs: Over 80% of all tracks played are Radio Shows.

80.3% of all tracks played were Radio Shows

As previously mentioned, these tracks were played between April 2 and June 9, 2017, making a total of 68 days to play these 1,000 songs. Thus nearly 15 songs were played per day.

14.7 Songs played per Day

Assuming that each track was played only once during the thousand song run — not an entirely valid assumption (and see note * above), but a fair hypothesis for this analysis — the total amount of time taken to play these 1k songs was 19 days, 17 hours, 17 minutes, and 21 seconds.

Total Time of Tracks: 19 Days, 17 Hours, 17 Minutes, and 21 Seconds

Since these songs were played over a stretch of 68 days, and given the total length of time of all played tracks above, this means that just over 29% of this 68-day period was spent listening to iTunes in one way or another.

29% of Each Day spent listening to iTunes

or

6 hours and 57-1/2 minutes per day Listening to Stuff

Once again, most of these tracks have only been played once. Specifically, 900 songs (9/10) were played for the first time during this most recent thousand tracks. The remaining 100 songs with multiple plays together have been played a grand total of 354 times.

900 Tracks heard for the 1st Time

Details

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	803
Rock	76
Pop	16
Alternative	14
Jazz	13
Novelty	11

All the rest of tracks played make up 6.7% of the total.

But the prevalence of Radio Shows is even greater than shown by this first view, due to the fact that (natürlich) 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 almost 97% of the total.

96.92% of time spent listening to Radio Shows

Here’s the chart:

Usually I’d put a table in here to follow up the chart, but the reality is that only one other Genre made up more than 1% of the total time spent listening. This was Rock, which 1.14% of the total duration spent listening to these thousand tracks. That big green bar in the chart up above, representing time of Jazz songs? That represents only 0.31% of the total time. I almost made a table of the contributions by time excepting Radio Shows, but … meh.

Again, due to the overwhelming preponderance of old radio shows among these thousand tracks, the average length of the played tracks was twenty-eight minutes and twenty-four seconds. This was very similar to the average from the last thousand tracks, being only twenty seconds less.

Average length of played tracks: 28:23.8

Radio shows had the longest average, at thirty-four minutes and seventeen seconds (34:16.6). Only two other Genres averaged over ten minutes: Avant-Garde (a single Salvador Dalí track from Être Dieu, lasting twenty-five minutes and five seconds) and History (three selections, averaging ten minutes and fifteen seconds each). Since I ripped you off last time, here’s another table:

Average Length of Tracks by Genre
(with more than 10 tracks played)

Radio Show	(803 tracks)	28:23.8
Jazz	(13 tracks)	6:40.2
Novelty	(11 tracks)	5:48.4
Rock	(76 tracks)	4:16.5
Pop	(16 tracks)	3:51.5
Alternative	(14 tracks)	3:25

Albums

Radio Shows contributed (of course) most of the songs when we regard them by albums. Over half the tracks played came from just fourteen albums.

528 tracks came from just 14 albums

Of course, grouping Radio Shows into ‘albums’ means that these have more tacks than the average CD. Of the fourteen albums mentioned above, the smallest contribution was over seventeen tracks. All of the albums making up this majority of tracks heard were Radio Shows. The first non-radio album on the list, with seven tracks, was Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits. (This album has only nine tracks — a respectable number — so that it would never have made the top of the list anyway.) The top fourteen albums are:

Lux Radio Theatre	112 tracks
Theater Five	73
The Green Hornet	38
Sears Radio Theater	36
Space Patrol	36
Suspense	33
NBC University Theater	32
Mystery House	31
CBS Radio Mystery Theater	28
Have Gun, Will Travel	28
Words At War	23
Zero Hour	23
You Are There	18
Gunsmoke	17

Artists

All of the most played artists this time around were those actors appearing in the most frequent albums/shows mentioned above. The list includes the luminaries John Dehner and William Conrad (for Have Gun, Will Travel and Gunsmoke respectively), as well as Al Hodge, Jack McCarthy (who both played The Green Hornet) and Earle Graser (who played The Lone Ranger during the 30’s).

Songs

As I said earlier, the vast majority — 900 — of the played tracks have only been heard once (by me). The 100 songs which have been played 354 times in toto primarily consist of songs played only twice (74 songs). And almost 20% of the 354 multiple plays came from one song — if ‘song’ it can be called, but as I have named radio episodes ‘songs’ who am I to quibble? — that single song being the first movement (Tacet) of John Cage’s 4’33”. It certainly has its appealing aspects.

Most played song (70 times): “4’33”: I – Tacet” by John Cage

The next most frequently played track was the work of genius “The Man’s Too Strong” by Dire Straits, which I’ve listened to (according to iTunes data) a total of thirteen times.

2nd most played song (13 times): “The Man’s Too Strong” by Dire Straits

Only two other songs in this last one thousand have been heard (by me) ten or more times, both of them covers: Johnny Cash’s masterful rendition of Trent Reznor’s “Hurt” (11 times), and “Working Class Hero” as performed by Marianne Faithfull live on her album Blazing Away.

The shortest track was only 3 seconds long, an audio sample from an experimental set of sound files from the radio station KKFS. The longest track lasted two hours, thirty minutes and forty-six seconds; this was “If Two Of Them Are Dead”, a week-long radio drama, from the series Zero Hour hosted by Rod Serling, which originally aired in September of 1973, though this particular recording was broadcast (putatively) from New Year’s Eve 1973 though January 4, 1974. The song closest to the average length (the median) was an episode of Suspense titled “On a Country Road” (aired May 5, 1959) which clocks in at seventeen minutes and twenty-nine seconds.

Review

I usually refrain from getting into my ratings for specific tracks, etc. I will say, however, that the average rating for all 1,000 tracks was 3-3/4 stars. I won’t get into specific of my rating system save to say that this is lower than usual for rated items.

I will also say that not all radio shows are created equal, and that something was forgotten not long after television began to dominate American media. The reprise of radio in the 1970’s was for the most part a pale mimeograph of the original greats. However, many great shows aired on radio under the penumbra of the new medium of television. Shows such as Dragnet, Gunsmoke, and Have Gun, Will Travel were broadcast on both radio and TV, and the radio version of these shows were often at least as good — if not better — than the televised episodes.‡ Other good radio worth checking out includes Suspense, some of the Lux Radio Theatre, the fantastic Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, Let George Do It, and Box 13. And fans of history will love the wonderful dramatic recreations of You Are There. There are many other great shows, but the ones mentioned have enough extant episodes to make binge listening a possibility. (You might check out Pat Novak … For Hire for a different take on Jack Webb.)

‡Note that many of the available recordings of Have Gun, Will Travel are of lower quality. :(

I still hope to make an analysis of the full set of my first 100,000 songs. But I do not doubt that I won’t complete that before the next thousand tracks have passed my ears. Currently I’m knee-deep in Lux Radio Theatre episodes, and I’m trying to make up the over 100 day deficit between songs listened to and those I have not yet heard. So I expect the average track length to grow greatly in the next tranche.

Here is another sample of these last one thousand songs:
