it was so nice i had to do it twice...
i copped it from jason who was inspired by sh0nuff and also saw the meme here, here, and here, and then after i did it, ronn and cecily did it too. so here i am again with it, but with samples (which might be a bad idea) and i'm only going for 10 joints this time (with the music samples i should probably only go for 5). i might have to do this every week.
and so it goes...
1. fire up iTunes
2. turn on shuffle from library to randomly play all songs
3. list the first 10 joints that pop - no matter how embarrasing
"Paid in Full" - Eric B. & Rakim
"Manhood (Remix)" - Viketer Duplaix
"Way Out" - Slave (featuring Steve Arrington)
"International Affair" - Mark Ronson (featuring Sean Paul and Tweet)
"50 Shot Ya" - DJ Kay Slay (featuring 50 Cent)
"That's The Way Love Is (Deep House Mix)" - Ten City
"Girlfriend" - B2K
"Be Thankful For What You Got" - William De Vaughan
"Babies Makin' Babies" - Sly & The Family Stone
"Redman Meets Reggie Noble" - Redman

yeah but with all these mp3s embedded into the page for playback, it's taking too long to download the post. so i'm going for 5. and ej, you can do it on any audio player that lets you go random all or shuffle all.

You should consider taking down these music samples. They are crashing my computer.
posted by Trent | March 11, 2004 6:29 PM #
i will not take them down. you are one of only two who has complained, so i presume that either 1- you do not have a high speed connection or 2- you do not use a newsreader which would enable you to go to individual entries as opposed to the whole page
or 3. perhaps i am wrong on all counts
but anyway...no, not taking them down, they'll be moving to the bottom of the page soon
but i have made the decision that next time there will only be 5, so 56k users, and folks with not a lot of power on their machines, should be able to handle it,
i just want to share music with my people, w/out being liable to stringent laws which makes it look like i'm actually sharing and exchanging - just want to stream, maybe i'll do pop up audio players next time
anyway...peace
and much love to all of those who are doing the random list thing

Or 4. The way you have these songs embedded in your blog is wick-wick wack!
I post songs on my blog all the time but I give people the options of using Real Audio, WMP or Quicktime. I just don't embed audio files in a post and expect everyone will be able to play them because, in reality -- not everyone can.
And show some love to the 56k users. They should be able to visit your blog without being bombarded by your audio samples. And for your information, I got broadband at home and a T1 connection on the job.
So if my computer is freezing up on the job that means that the way you have these audio files posted on your blog is WRONG. There are better ways to embed (post) audio files in your blog.
Hey, I want you to share music with your "peoples" too, but can you post them correctly so it won't strangle web browsers to the point of crashing? For god's sake you got B2K's "Girlfriend" up on here, nobody wants to hear that tween crap.
And there's probably more people out there complaining but don't want to say anything. They are being nice and that's cool. Hopefully, they don't just give up and move on to another blog. As for me, I keeps it real -- this is crashing people's browsers, dammit.
But keep those files up. I'll just stop reading your blog then.
And much love to all those who know how to stream music on their blogs -- correctly.
Save the browsers, y'all . . . don't kill them with embedded audio files.
>:-(

sweetie i know other ways of doing them. for the most part, i was playing with your ass. i knew full well that the way i did that would load folks shit down. i'm not a fan of WMA or RA, but that's an entirely different story. next time, i'll probably make an audio player that pops up and can actually play a playlist. but i'll never post this many tracks again. it was just a test.
and on the folks moving on...well...i've taken ten thousand hiatuses...and there are still readers here. :-)
but on the real, i hear your concerns. and i'm looking at other means. i knew that this would not necessarily conform to all OS's, all browsers, and all systems. purposely...i knew this. man i do this shit e'rday, so you must knw i know other ways. ... but anyway.
let's keep this peaceful. and just so you and e'rbody knows i will not be doing this again, at least not to this extent...and the post was introduced w/(this is probably not a good idea).
but if you want to move on...by all means do. not trying to keep you captive here, when i'm crashing your system.
again, smile. i'm not as serious as you think i am.

oh yeah, and maybe you're not either. well not so serious...

After a good night's sleep and careful thinking, I have come to the conclusion that I was totally off base with my comments about this post.
What you did here is fine. I was just being grumpy because my computer crashed.
Admittingly, at home, I don't have a powerful computer and my broadband is substandard.
I knew my computer would crash as soon as visited the blog. But that's life. No big deal. I shouldn't have been so snappy. That's the Virgo in me, always critical (judgemental).
It's your blog and you can post music on it in whatever format you choose, dammit.
And even though it looks like my web browser just crashed while I'm writing this comment, I will still keep coming back.
So you go girl! Keep doing your thing.

And the leo in me who always has to be right too careful consideration of your comments. I knew that embedding so many mp3(s) might be a problem as I admittedly said in the post before putting them up there.
Of all people, I can't have you crashing. But I'm sure others are crashing too. So I got a surprise up my hat. Not a radio blog, but something different. SInce I'm the techy-geeky type and love the open source ish - I'm going to bring the music in a nice way so everyone can here - perhaps once a week. But right now, I gotta' keep posting to get this one to move off the main page.
