iPod Ever 'accidently' purchase a song? lol...

[vieoray]

I bought my daughter the U2 iPod for Christmas (her 3G died an ugly one), so I got the box for only $99. Well worth it, although, on shuffle play, it seems like 3 out of 10 tracks are always U2. I guess I could create a playlist of my library sans U2, but I'm lazy and it's easy to hit the ol' forward button.

i know what you mean. i have a lot of U2 tracks (well over 600) and a ton of finn brothers tracks and when using shuffle more often than not those two groups come up. what i did was create a smart playlist and have it exclude everything i didnt want to hear (for U2 i excluded everything but four studio albums) and set it to shuffle. works great in iTunes, but i can't get it to work on my iPod! instead of shuffling on the iPod, the smart list goes in order.

I always use the shopping cart and always have it prompt me for my password.

This way after a lenghty session of "oh! I want this 0.99 cent song!" I can look at my actual total. Then I have to type in my password just in case I need a reminder...

This made me think of sort of the opposite. Have you ever heard a song on the radio, and said, "Oooh, I love that song! I gotta get that CD!" And then when you find out who sings it / what CD it's on, you realize you already have it and never noticed it? That happened to me when U2 released All I Want Is You as a single a long time after Rattle and Hum. It was the last track on the CD and I'd never noticed it until it started getting radio play. And then just today with Usher's Caught Up, although in that case I think the radio version must be a remix, because it doesn't sound exactly the same as what I have in iTunes from Confessions....
