3039823, MP3 player chronicles Posted by c71, Mon Sep-26-22 10:10 PM
I spoke on satisfaction about making my mp3 player very "tight" in GD a few months ago:

One of the things about this that seems pretty "on-point" is that so many artists (especially Rock bands) just seem to make music that only really hits for a track or 2 for each album (as I said about Albums in general going back to the 1980's in a Lesson post a few years ago)

So...(after having a iPod that had lot's of full albums on it but I barely started making playlists from all of that music - or really regularly listened to most of that music on that iPod - before the iPod broke)...I bought a mP3 player that was less expensive than an iPod but it has space for a good amount of music...ESPECIALLY if a music lover limits what is put on this particular brand of MP3 player to music that just goes above and beyond in sound quality and ability to impress.
So...the music on this MP3 player is very limited to sound quality impressiveness and musical impressiveness.
So...I'm going to chronicle little by little the additions to the MP3 player (rather than a extensive exposition of the entire thing)..
Just a little by little chronicle that celebrates how a track here and a track here on various Folders (playlists) can seem to create a thorough "asset"
I know people have playlists connected to Apple music and Spotify that they can access on their phones and save on the Cloud but....like Quest curating iPods for his friends...an MP3 player or iPod curated a certain way seems more "tangible" to a Gen-X person like me.
Ahem...let's start!
Henry Mancini Folder (playlist)
After the death of Ramsey Lewis, I checked out some Ramsey Lewis soundclips on amazon.com and came across:

thoroughly lush and Henry Mancini-esque - winner
then...my mind went to the "Midnight Cowboy" sountrack. the Ferrante and Teicher version of the "Midnight Cowboy" theme seemed iconic but...I finally realized sound quality-wise that the John Barry original version with Toots Thielemans on harmonica was superior.
This was a close call but...I really don't know how I didn't easily recognize that the John Barry original with Toots Thielemans is the ultimate

(I also added "Fun City" by John Barry from the "Midnight Cowboy" soundtrack as weel)

2000's folder (playlist)
Decided I had to check out songs from "Tennessee Slim is the bomb" from Joi again on the amazon.com soundclips. I knew there was something there I was overlooking (I seem to overlook Joi a lot but keep coming back to her). Sure enough, I found several Joi tracks I had to add

then I heard an artist on the Pandora Beach House radio station (bands supposedly a person would like if they like the band Beach House - a dream-pop indie rock band) called Weekend Players that had a few sonically impressive tracks:

Anyway this is the start. If I keep finding tracks for the MP3 player, I'll keep up adding to this post about the various folders (playlists) on the MP3 player.
