1. What song do you play the most?
Beatles: Yesterday. In fact, my top 12 most frequently played tunes are a subset of my Beatles workout set, resulting from a combination of being a really great groove and being the first single-band workout list I put together.
2. What song do you play the least?
Can't really answer that because when I transferred my music library from an external drive to the MacBook, it reset all my play counters. So only about a fifth of my tunes have a non-zero play-count at the moment. And about half of those only show a single play. In reality, I've listened to all the music items at least once (although that can't be said of all the audio books yet). No, I take that back, I have two items in my "new albums" folder that I haven't listened to in full yet (although I've mined them for workout tunes). So at the moment, "least" would be a 15-item tie between the majority of Chris Williamson's Real Deal album and one item on Heart's Bebe Le Strange album.
3. What's the last song you added?
That would be the aforementioned Heart: Bebe Le Strange album.
4. What's your favorite playlist?
Since I put together playlists pretty much exclusively for gym music, and the favorites tend to rotate with whether I'm getting tired of them, this changes from week to week. But at the moment I'm quite energized by my Tijuana Brass set and a classical playlist I titled "Chases and Forced Marches", which starts out with Fucik's Entry of the Gladiators and Khachaturian's Sabre Dance, works its way through several quick marches like Strauss's Radetzky (which comes in at a sweat-inducing 217 bpm), finishes up with Stravinsky's Infernal Dance of King Kastchei and the "chase" section of Rossini's William Tell Overture, and then has Von Suppe's Light Cavalry Overture for a cool-down.
5. What king of iPod or mp3 player do you have?
I've got an original click-wheel iPod (only recently deemed unrechargeable), the original shuffle, the 2nd gen shuffle, and an iPhone.
