iTunes

Just a little FYI / handy tip for people who use iTunes a lot. If you're like me, you have a lot of music, and there's a bunch unchecked so that they don't sync to your iPod. However if you've noticed, iTunes doesn't play unchecked music on shuffle. You have to manually choose to play an unchecked song on your own.

I have a fix for this. Go do this:

Edit --> Preferences --> General --> Views. Uncheck the box that says "Show List Checkboxes". It'll cause the checkboxes to not be viewed in your library, and thus iTunes will play unchecked stuff on shuffle. Mustn't forget to go back and check the box again if you're syncing your iPod, though.

*bows* You're welcome. LOL!

Bored, and since I have iTunes running, it's meme time!

Put your music on shuffle, then answer with the first line of the songs.
