iTunes By The Numbers

In between working on 4 freelance projects in the last week, 3 at my day job, moving (of sorts) and everything else that happens in my world on a regular basis I managed to get pretty sick this week. It was great timing. Because of all the craziness going on I couldn’t wait for the weekend to finally have a chance for some quality rest and relaxation. Anyway, since I’m just hanging out at my house tonight I thought I would give my response to an interesting little questionnaire I saw floating around some blogs a while ago about my iTunes library…

I’ve wanted for a while to write a dumb app that would look over your itunes XML file and report back with stats like this (things like highest rated album, etc), but have never done it, mostly because I thought that no one else cared about stuff like that. Here’s my info…..

@diesel: I do have Pyromania and Hysteria. So, you may be right, but I think the bigger issue at hand is that I need to listen to more Def Leppard!
@BJ: Nice. Thanks for sharing. That would be awesome if you get around to making that app someday! Let me know if you do.
