Here we go again… another weekend is upon us, and so here is this week’s edition of iTunes Saturday… everyone’s favorite meme. Ok, maybe not. As always, here are the rules. (1) You put your main music library in iTunes on “shuffle” and hit play. (2) You then list the subsequent songs that play at random. And so, here’s the next 10 random songs in my iTunes library. Ratings are included, and, of course, no cheating:

01. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California *****
02. Melanie C - I Turn to You (Club Mix) (No rating)
03. Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock (No rating)
04. Leeland - Lift Your Eyes (No rating)
05. Kirk Franklin - The Appeal (No rating)
06. Vineyard - Father, I Want You to Hold Me ****
07. Mala Rodríguez - Por la Noche ***
08. Aerosmith - Fly Away from Here ****
09. Rebecca St James - Lamb of God ***
10. Kevin Becker - WInds of Change ****
11.The Beatles - Something ***
12. Refuge - Funky Elevator Music (band practice) ****
13. TV Themes - Mad About You (No rating)
14. Pillar - Intro *
15. POD - Rock the Party (Off the Hook) ***

I included 15 tracks since I haven’t blogged in a while. Lots of songs without ratings this week. I should probably let you know that out of 5108 songs in my library, 2322 are unrated. I have been working to remedy this, sometimes spending hours at a time listening to and rating my library. My goal is for everything to be rated. Smart playlists, which I love, are so much more useful when your music is rated. It will take some time though.

Current iTunes Library statistics:
Songs: 5108 items, 16:16:51:22 total time, 26.15Gb
Movies: 69 items, 2:17:09:14 total time, 31.61 Gb
TV Shows: 71 items, 2:04:34:43 total time, 33.86Gb
Podcasts: 624 items, 15:11:23:23 total time, 14.83Gb
Audiobooks: 43 items. 8:11:11:38 total time, 2.74Gb

In other news, we at The Bridge are working on something pretty cool, and hopefully we’ll be able to announce it and I can post some stuff about it later this weekend.
