I can certainly see the appeal to this. I might be more likely to try it out if shuffling an album on iTunes didn't just go on indefinitely. I've accidentally shuffled albums on my iPhone, only realizing it an hour or so later when I start wondering why I'm hearing the same song or why the album hasn't ended yet. Obviously this is during somewhat passive listening while at work.

You'll be surprised just how well Glenn Miller & Slayer fit together.
I do this at home on the evenings and weekends, since I never know a) how long I'll be around or b) what I feel like listening to. I like the variety and it keeps my g/f from getting bored with whatever I choose. I did however create a "Home" playlist that includes basically my entire collection with some obvious things taken out that I know she doesn't like. Gotta please the household, not just myself.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
