Shuffle off to Buffalo...

As a quick check of my last.fm profile will show, I've been loving iTunes "Party Shuffle" option the last 24 hours or so. It's uncovered all sorts of gems and dogs from my library to be enjoyed and/or deleted.

The "party" part isn't to be discounted. For those who haven't used it - the Party shuffle will shuffle your tunes from whatever source (full library, chosen playlist, etc.) you like, and SHOW YOU WHAT'S COMING UP. So... you can manually add and delete items as you like. In addition, you can have it leave up the list of last "X" number of songs. SO- I can keep working and flip on to the next song, and go back at the end of a productive hour, see what's played, and make any appropriate library changes (a four star rating for an old gem; a cmd-delete for the less savory.
