Today I was driving home from the Alps. My iPod was playing random songs from its 60 GigaByte repertoire. Shuffling is a great feature when you are not really sure what you want to listen to… Of course I had to skip quite a few songs. When you carry 60 GigaBytes of mp3s around, obviously not every song is great.
But then it happened: My iPod played a song from a Pink Floyd album. One from an album like “The Wall” where the songs are all somehow connected to each other. I wish I had been able to easily leave the “shuffle mode”, to unshuffle so to speak, so that I can continue listening to the rest of the album…
So you guys who build the iPod and similar devices: Think about it! Shuffling did the job of finding me some great music I had previously forgotten about. But once I find something I like, let me stick to it with one click…
Please add the “Unshuffle Button”! I think it could be useful…
