[Happy birthday to

As I happen to scan around the various iTunes music libraries on the network here at work (three out of four of which would answer "Yes" below), I am inspired to run a simple poll.

Date: 2009-08-27 07:50 pm (UTC)Before that it was "Hold On Loosely", by .38 Special. But I changed that one's sort order too.

Date: 2009-08-27 08:10 pm (UTC)Is band the same as Artist? My first Artist is Accademia Viscontea I Musicanti, making the first track Leoncello. Hunh, at the bottom I have 79 tracks with NO artist info. I also have some stuff in there I forgot about entirely, some of which I'm not sure where or when I got it. Wonder if a judicious fling is in order?

Date: 2009-08-27 09:03 pm (UTC)(I actually expected "702", since in the file listings, that sorts first. But apparently iTunes thinks differently.)

Date: 2009-08-27 11:00 pm (UTC)I do have "Take On Me," but it's a ska cover by a band called Reel Big Fish. I also have two covers of "Paint It Black," one by Inkubus Sukkubus and an instrumental one by Rick Wakeman, a cover of "Comfortably Numb" by Staind, the version of "All Along The Watchtower" from Battlestar Galactica by Bear McCreary, "Another Brick In The Wall" as interpreted by Korn, an entire album called "When Pigs Fly," which is full of covers ("Shock The Monkey" sung by Don Ho! What's not to love?), and of course, "Sabbatum" by Rondellus, which is Black Sabbath's greatest hits translated into Latin and played on medieval instruments. We used "Magus (The Wizard)" for our wedding processional. I thought it a better choice than "Verres Militares (War Pigs)"
So... yeah. I love covers.

Date: 2009-08-28 02:04 am (UTC)Windows copy of iTunes: haven't run it in a while and don't remember which machine it's on.
iPod[*]: first by artist is Acacia Sears, "George's Tongue"; first under 'all' is Echo's Children, "Acts of Creation".
