Let's try this again...

An iteration of the MP3 game that I was playing earlier this year finally made its way to the Ecto mailing list that I'm still on after ten years. Here's another set of answers — plus instructions for those who were confused the last time around.

What this round tells me is that I listen to way too much pop music — and mostly songs I should be embarrassed to admit having in my library!

***

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
2. Put your player on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every scene, type in the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new scene, press the "advance" button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool - first songs only
