Playlist fun

As I am someone who often spends time travelling on trains as part of getting to and from work, I spend a lot of my journey time listening to music on my iPod and am always looking for inventive ways of selecting the music that I listen to.

I have found that one of the best ways is to play songs alphabetically from the song index, as it means that you get to listen to quite a diverse range of tracks encompassing different genres and eras in one sitting.
