It's that time again!! (The Winamp Playlist Thread)

[EdenMaster]

If you give a shit about music besides the video-game stuff that most of you seem to listen to, you'll want to keep songs in their original album format. ie. The track order that they're supposed to be in. When you just stick a whole bunch of random songs into a playlist and alphabetise them, you lose that.

What difference does that make? No song is made better by the song before or after it on it's original album (with some exceptions, such as Green Day's "Brain Stew" and "Jaded"). Obviously, I listen to songs in order on their CDs when I'm driving, or just playing them on my stereo. I don't get any more enjoyment out of listening to them in order than if they we're all jumbled around into a new order. Who would? That doesn't make sense. When I'm at my computer, I have many of my favorite songs right at my fingertips, so why not just press play and enjoy? Digging through multiple playlists like that, while it may be more organized, seems like far too much hassle when you want to hear something in particular.

Both of you have probably never made a custom music CD in your lives if original track order in your music is such a necessity.
