Rediscovering music

Now a days there is so much music out there to discover. Personally I find most of mine through film soundtracks, YouTube videos, and shazaming TV adverts. When you find these great new songs it feels awesome, you'll often have these songs on repeat for days trying to soak it in. What's even better then discover new songs though, is rediscovering old ones.

This week during my daily job board searching I decided to hit shuffle on my media player and let it go through my entire library, and to my delight it uncover a whole host of songs that I haven't heard in years. Songs I remember listening to on the bus to school, or that I remember from old films I had seen, loads drawing up memories of times before which I'd forgotten about. I was also recommended a few songs by a friend this week to look up again, which were also songs that I had heard before and completely forgotten.

Its safe today that since rediscovery these songs, a number of them have been repeated numerous times over the last few days. However I'm also still trying to allow time to keep going through my library to find even more forgotten songs to rediscover.

The only problem I have now is that with all of this music I want to listen too, I unfortunately have to once again go through my MP3 player and take off a load if tracks to free up space. As I am still running an old school player that only holds 4gb of music.
This ultimately means that there will be some songs that I have to sacrifice and they become the forgotten songs. Upside to this though is that hopefully in a couple of years I will click shuffle library and stumble upon them and start this process all over again.

Just quickly thinking it over, this does also present one other problem, and that is that it kind of messes up my top favourite songs list that I do ever year. I do say within those lists that I am almost 100% sure that I've missed songs out, but it still throws a spanner in the works a bit.
