I've been wanting to do this meme for a while, but between my computer problems earlier this year and my lack of time to get around to it, I never managed to... but as of today, I've finally finished re-importing all my iTunes settings to my new hard drive, and I'm a-gonna do it now.
HOW MANY SONGS? 986 - includes 19 podcasts, so make that 967. Not too bad for a selection, actually, with a lot of variety. There will be more as I take the time to rip more of my CD collection to MP3, and there are a ton of MP3's we have on a couple of CDs from about 5 years ago when we started fresh on a new hard drive. I have to find those CDs and then copy them over to see what I've got there.
SORT BY SONG TITLE:
First: "40" by U2
Last: Zoom Daddy by The Swirling Eddies
SORT BY TIME:
Longest: The Calling (12:29) by Santana featuring Eric Clapton
Shortest: Bookends Theme (:32) by Simon & Garfunkel
SORT BY ALBUM:
First: Christmas is Coming by David Benoit (Album is 40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas)
Last: The last one that actually has an album name is Zoom Daddy by The Swirling Eddies (from their album Zoom Daddy)... otherwise, the last in the list is an MP3 of miscellaneous clips of our pastor saying funny things or making strange noises, which one of the guys at church compiled and we used for Pastor's Appreciation Day last year.
TOP 5 MOST PLAYED SONGS:
- Lonely People by Jars of Clay
- Show You Love by Jars of Clay
- Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet by Jars of Clay
- Take Me Away by Sarah Kelly
- Please Forgive Me by Sarah Kelly
(Note, these two albums were the first I bought via iTunes and that's why the play count is much higher on them than some of the others... but I'm playing by the rules here.)
FIRST SONG THAT COMES UP ON SHUFFLE: Disappear by Jars of Clay (I have a lot of JoC in my iTunes, if you hadn't gathered that by now)

Swirling Eddies!!!!!
You rock -- that's all there is to it. I knew it before, but this confirms it.
And now I'm off to do this meme myself.
