iPod Anniversary

Technically, yes, this is infact the 13 month iPod anniversary, but what with being away for a sum total of 1 month under repairs (approximately & exactly) I consider this the culmination of a year’s worth of iPod use. (and the end of the warranty…) And that also means it sums up my music of 2005…
So in a year, I estimate at an average of 3 hours of playtime a day I’ve got over 1000 hours of use out of it. At an average of 4 minutes a song that’s nearly 15,000 plays, or 3 times through the entire library at its current size, although I did start the library with only 3500 songs. Obviously the play count is not spread evenly, so my top 5 songs of 2005 by iPod play are:

1. Artful Dodger – Summer Jam ft. Craig David
2. Hinouchi Emi – Crying
3. Lumidee – My Last Thug
4. Cake – The Distance
5. Illaria Graizano – I Can’t Be Cool

Given that not a single one of these songs, as far as I’m aware, is a 2005 release, it appears my music tastes are “maturing” (read: getting stuck in the past). No. 7 however was Mariah Carey’s We Belong Together, which is the top 2005 song of my list, so my tastes are still kinda with it. I think.

The price I paid was $550, and accessories come out to $70, so that’s roughly 62 cents an hour, or 4.13 cents a song. All up, a happy investment =)
