iTunes, now with Mind Reading Technology! (not really, but...)
I fired up iTunes a couple of minutes ago, set it to random, and hit play, with the idea being that it will play a random song from my playlist. The first song it played was the same song that's been stuck in my head for the entire day. No selection, no playlist, no indication of anything that would set that song apart from the rest in terms of how the program would select a song, and in fact I hadn't even given it a rating. It's just been stuck in my head all day, and iTunes plucked it from the list.

What else does it know about me? :scared:

5. Oh shit. You're right!
:o

Actually, it would have been funnier if the song was corporate rock or pop-hop, but I see your point anyway. :)

4. It would also be great for those times when you are not quite sure
what you want to listen to. iTunes would just know and make it all ok :)

12. Hmmmm...
If that was the case, wouldn't it just play nothing? I wouldn't want that. :)

6. Which begs the question, what song was it?
Are you the only person with "It's a Small World After All" in their iTunes Library?
