My buddy Bryn turned me on to a music site you should check out: www.last.fm . By downloading a small file, the site tracks all the of music you listen to on your PC and/or iPod. It creates charts that track your top artists, songs and more. If you click on a chart it will take you to my page on the site, with more detailed info.
It is free! But, if you pay $3 a month it does even more. Check it out by clicking on a chart.
The site began recording all of my "plays" June 1, 2006.
