Tonight, we completed some minor revisions to the site.
- An archive of "All Entries" is now available on the sidebar
- A "try this" Smart Playlist feature has been added to the sidebar
- The welcome message was changed
- The overall sidebar navigation has been revised slightly
If you're like me, you can't stand the gaps that happen when you rip mix cds of your favorite DJs (or your own mixes). So you rip them as one giant track. I have a smart playlist that is set to catch most of the DJ sets without catching anything else:
Time - is greater than - 35:00
So far I haven't encountered any other genres or artists with single songs longer than 35:00. Godspeed You Black Emperor! comes close, though... I could imagine that audio books would be longer, but I don't have any.
I've never been a big fan of the "everything on random" playlists -- I've got too many long tracks that potentially break up the flow. And since I feel like I'm cheating a song if I hit the next button, I've come up with a way to deliver a good variety without having to linger on a track for long:
Time - is less than - 2:30
Add in a few "genre is not's" to keep the spoken word and other riff raff out and you'll end up with a nice bunch of short-bursty fun.
