Apple Shuffle Nirvana
It is strange when one achieves Apple Shuffle Nirvana. You my ask yourself what is Apple Shuffle Nirvana?
Apple Shuffle Nirvana is when one sets his or her iPod to randomly shuffle their music. The way to achieve Shuffle Nirvana can be hard for some. There are varying elements that can affect if one is able to achieve Shuffle Nirvana. One must first have an iPod loaded with good music. The key is to have a variety of music you find good and enjoyable. I found that having all time favorite albums that have a solid run of music on them. A second good source is compilation albums and soundtracks. This is to insure that you have a variety of music that is easily good music to whichever taste you may have. Shuffle Nirvana is obtained when your iPod randomly choices music that has a good flow but is varying. It is sort of a soundtrack of your day. Better yet you can experience more then one soundtrack to your day. The Nirvana happens when this soundtrack falls into sink with whatever you are doing, and or what ever mood you are in. It is truly a pleasing thing to experience.
It is becoming harder and harder to find an album that is good and consistent through. As of late this is becoming harder and harder to achieve. One reason for this is that record companies keep seeking bands that can make singles and not music. Due to this movement of bands only being able to create one or two solid songs, that are usually formulaic singles. The Apple Music Store is a good example as it is slowly changing how people listen and purchase music. No longer does one need to purchase an entire album that may have one or two at most good songs. A listener of a particular band can pick and choose these few good songs and ignore the rest and not have to waste $13 or more. That is why it is vital to find good albums and or compilations and soundtrack CDs to load onto your iPod.
I would really like to learn how the iPod OS picks songs to shuffle. I've tried searching the net and have not come up with any results yet. It boggles my mind how a database of good songs and some bits of data that creates an algorithm can create such a pleasing experience. Its like the best random mix tape one can achieve. It would be cool if you could tweak or hack the iPod OS to change how it shuffles your library.
