<br>Not many really. I just take links from videos I search. I guess I'm from the school of Name That Tune. I can tell if I like a song in 7 notes or less.

Thanks '82. I was mentioning a related topic to TB last night - that of how we listen to mp3s and music on our computers might filter what clicks with me or not. I've noticed a distinct habit, at least with me, that I'm drawn to hookier stuff when I listen to something intently - makes sense, it's gotta grab you before you hit Right-Arrow and go to the next tract. But then there's other stuff that's only seeped in when I'm explicitly not listen at the computer or scrolling thru the Pod. There's stuff like Deerhunter and (yes!) Fleet Foxes that only clicked with me when I wasn't intently listening. I really wonder how much good stuff I'm not really giving a chance to by doing mostly exactly what you say. Today I was mowing the lawn to the new Field Music album - did not click at all when I scrolled thru it the first couple of times, but it felt really rich when I just let it play without intently listening to it.
