Introduce your playlist.

For a couple years now, since 2011. I have been listening to music on iTunes quite a bit. As my collection grew I stopped playing my entire music library on shuffle. Some music just didn't feel right being played along side each other. So I compartmentalized my music into playlists. It turned out to be brilliant idea because now I have assorted flavors to listen through depending on my mood.

Here are screenshots to show case in point.

I'm much more of an album guy than a playlist guy, but at work I usually don't have time to choose an album every 45 minutes. So I've created a bunch of massive playlists with many hours or many days worth of music in them which I listen to on random depending on my mood. The major ones are:

60s Pop
80s Punk and Hardcore
Afropop
All Jazz
Black, Death, Thrash
Crazy Jazz
Disco, etc.
Electronic
EverythingAllAtOnce (a mix of various hyperactive music)
Funk Diaspora
Grindcore and Powerviolence
Gypsy Jazz
Hip Hop
Loud Electronic
All Metal
Modern Jazz
Noise, Hardcore, etc.
Postpunk
Pure Grindcore
Pure Powerviolence
Raw Rock
Wall of Doom

I'm usually an album guy too, at least most of the time. My playlists on spotify are an all-purpose playlist, for when I'm in the mood for a playlist of just certain songs, which I edit when I need it, and the Ultimate Shuffle. That is strictly for putting on and just shuffling everything that I listen to, I like to do that sometimes. Spotify has a 10000 song limit for playlists, so I created a folder consisting of multiple playlists, and I'm forever adding to it. It's got like 60000 songs so far.

There's also a Nirvana playlist of songs from With the Lights Out and other places, and a playlist filled with songs to listen to when I'm feeling down.

....And my Manowar playlist #Death2FalseMetal by Loren Zibull on Spotify

It's hard for me to listen to music album at a time, maybe it's the artists I listen to but it gets monotonous. I need a break in the sound (not necessarily contrast) but another voice, riff style, etc. Even alternating between two artists extends my listening time.
Also creating playlists is kind of fun, I get to play around with naming schemes. I do like making it somewhat cryptic so I got to play my list to remember why it got the name.

Albums are my playlists. Other than that I just pick whatever song I feel like listening to.

You sound like me. There's very few albums that I have any interest in listening to all the way through. I usually just throw everything into a genre playlist and put it on shuffle.

@Wpnfire It's nice to finally have someone with a similar opinion. I'd be hard pressed to find an album with every song in there I like. I usually end up skipping along songs, which makes it rather cumbersome. So why not take matters into my own hands and build a playlists of songs that aren't skippable.

I feel playlists are undervalued here. Nor are there as many people here as obsessed with micromanaging them as me.

I'll usually make a CD by the time I get off of work to take with me to a friends house, where we work on small engine vehicles, and other ****. I'll make the CD with what my friends tastes are in mind (usually), and then leave it for him. There's quite a few no-name CD's, some full albums, some of my self produced stuff, and some that have been numbered, or named like the Metalli-Steve one with some Metallica, Steve Vai, Stevie Wonder, Steve Stevens, and SRV.

Here's yesterdays CD playlist:
