I can't remember the last time I searched out a specific song/artist, but
the Motorola music player dissects the ID3 tag on all the MP3s it finds on
any memory location in about 30 seconds, just once when you insert or
change cards. Once the online database has updated itself, the music
player has sorted Artist, song, album, genre lists if you want them.

My cards are sorted by genre-named folders, mostly due to they came from
genre-named alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.(genresortednewsgroups) in the first
place. I play them shuffled so I don't get so bored listening to one
artist singing for long periods of time, like any good radio station.
Motorolas shuffle just fine, I guess. I seed the shuffle by starting it on
a different song with the fast forward/back buttons before leaving home.
After that, it pretty much takes care of itself playing a few thousand
songs in the non-existant "random playlist" the computer has created in its
imagination. I do change genres a few times a day, which are on different
cards that are regularly reburned completely. I have millions of files....
(c;]

I simply cannot imagine having to deal with what shitty iTuneys convoluted
nonsense every time I want to reload 50K songs just to swap genres. How
stupid.

Pretty much.

How self-important these music cretins think they are.

I don't know about you, but I'm able to do other things while earplugs
are in my ears. ;)

One of the reasons Apple fabboiz don't mind Apple's toys NOT being
