The first year iTunes’ “party shuffle” feature existed, I ignored it, due to lack of understanding.

I can say now that nothing gets played through my iTunes without Party Shuffle controlling the system.

I feed it through a playlist I’ve made called “iPod of the Mind 3″, which is about 3.7 days long and available here. [1]

If you’re working and listening to iTunes, the key is for the music to _never_ stop, which I’ve slowly learned is the purpose of the Party Shuffle.

Get random. In other news, the iPod Shuffle is a piece of crap, but I’ll save that for later, or many others who have already said all that can be said on the topic.

[1] If you didn’t know, you can export and import playlists in iTunes. Download that file, and in iTunes 4.9 (and quite a few ealier versions) select File => Import…

Of course, you have to own the music and have it in your library for it to be worth anything, other than knowing how excellent my musical tastes are.
