I constantly seek out new music and pick it up from everywhere. Currently on a folk punk kick, before that it was Billboard Top 100 stuff from the 60's and 70's, before that it was hyperpop. I ask that anyone who wants to get me a gift instead make me a mix CD, I've got enough physical stuff.
But I listen to the new music mixed into the old music. Recently using shuffle, but before iTunes went to shit I used to have Party Shuffle pull from a dense web of smart playlists that ensured I was always listening to new favorites, old favorites, and tracks I hadn't listened to recently in a roiling cycle. Man I miss having smart playlists.
My "favorites" alone, songs I can sing along to, are in the thousands after more than two decades of this. The floodplains of attending tracks, other songs from good albums, local music I don't get get rid of because I wouldn't be able to find it again, CDs that I ripped for my kids' or from my wife's collection, mix CDs made for me that I'm still getting around to digesting, these make up several thousand more tracks.
So if you, OP, or anyone else want a list of recent highlights, I'm down to trade a tracklist of most played from the last year.
