A few minutes ago, another iPod achievement was reached — all of the 31,452 songs on my iPod have been played at least 8 times. That’s over 545 days of continuous music, 24 hours a day. Given that I started with the iPod back in 2008, this has been a long time coming. I’ll note that, all told, I currently have 31,652 “music” tracks on the iPod (that includes standup comedy and bonus interviews), plus a fair number of podcasts.
