The Benefit of an Old Mp3–Player

THIS MORNING AS I was listening to music on my way to class, for once I didn’t feel annoyed with the fact that my mp3-player doesn’t have a search system. This was because I discovered a kind of “advantage” in it.

My songs are on the disc in alphabetical order. As I was skipping endlessly forward to R for Radiohead, I got stuck on the way, with K for Kula Shaker, and ended up listening to that instead. I realised exactly the same had occured earlier. Apparently Kula Shaker and Radiohead for me are mood -compatible.

Hence a new function of old mp3-players (non i-pod stuff): it is an indicator for mood-compatible bands starting with letters lower than the one you’re looking for! Doesn’t that make your day?
