This pretty much sums it up. It's very mixed up. Many times I just trust iTunes' Shuffle but it's never unique. Any programs for Mac that actually randomizes the queue each time I ask it to?
I prefer it when the sound is directly not coming into my ears through headphones/earphones, which is a problem at office, because it's distracting(yes, to me at least) and I feel uncomfortable - get a headache or it just doesn't feel as good as when it comes from a little distance at a serene volume. I used to set up a pair of speakers in farthest corner of my flat, but now it's a 1 bedroom flat :(.
Any one else with such choice or setup? :-)
..
[†] That means at least 30-40 yr old Hindi songs
[0] Most new Hindi film songs are below garbage
[1] The ones that doesn't include screaming(as in when you hate your vocal chords), hammering head and metallic objects on bodies, floors, drums and against many other surfaces and objects
[2] The ones that are easy to appreciate
[3] Not to be confused with Indie-pop :-)
- gee_totes 13y agoI have similar music tastes, and might have some suggestions to add to your collection. Have you listened to Dub Qawwali[0] or the Ashla Bhosle Kronos Quartet collobration[1]?

- fakeer 13y agoThanks for [0] (had listened to few titles including one in your YT link but not all - will get them all) and yes I've listened to [1]. Saved on Spotify :-) How do you manage the language, subtitles? Or you know Hindi/Urdu?
- gee_totes 13y agoI was working on a Bollywood movie once in New Jersey and got into some of the music. I really like how the language sounds. But all I know in Hindi is how to pick out a cute girl and say "Acha Hey..." (which I learned from the Indian film crew)
