I don't listen to music nearly enough since I got heavily into podcasts, but when I do, I listen like ita, I think - generally on random, trying to get to all of the unrated/unheard stuff.

I had to buy different earbuds that would stay in my ears properly.
I can't find any. I swear I have the smallest ears ever. Every earbuds I've ever tried are too big and hurt and/or fall out after 3 minutes.

Yes! It's not just me! They will not stay in! The hip hook-over-the-ear ones hurt too, so I may just go old school and get old-fashioned top of the head earphones--which are a bitch to carry around.

I'm lucky that the over-the-ear ones work pretty well for me, and my glasses keep them from hurting the top of my ears.

My ratings are similar to ita's, and I find some things I list as five stars get downgraded when I'm over them. I do have a fair hunk of unrated songs, but I also tend to listen to the same last five or ten songs I got, obsessively, until I'm sick of them. Only rarely do I listen to music for long periods of time (ie more than 15 minutes walking around my neighborhood) but I've got a few playlists that are just "3 star and up" and am always a little startled to hear songs I love and haven't heard in a while.

I have behind the head ones that I like a lot (for my discman - no iPod). I also have some seriously lightweight Senheiser head phones for home use.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The earbuds I had that broke came with two other sized sets of the silicone bit, so I could wear whichever size fit best. And they did fit. And sounded great. But are broken. Sadface.

Because books.
I've never found earbuds that will stay in my ears, or don't hurt, too. I love the behind-the-head regular earphones, except when I want to lie back, because then they get sort of smushed into my neck.

I am always a little startled to hear songs I love and haven't heard in a while.
One thing I loved about all the themed playlists (colors, numbers, animals, etc) I used to create for work (when I had time at work to do that) is that it totally forced me to listen to songs I wouldn't think of otherwise.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Why is that when something's desperately important and needs to be done NOW, that's when no one will answer their email or their phone?
