No need to change the iPod - change the way you use your iPod

I, too, have had Farhad Manjoo's problem: too much music, too little time. My iPod, too, suffered from having the same tracks repeated ad nauseum. So I came up with a solution - it's clunky, but it works for me.

1) I delete all songs from previously played albums off my "Party Shuffle" list.

2) I move 10 albums whose songs are listed on my slimmed-down Party Shuffle into a special folder.

3) Whenever I crave music, I turn to that folder first.

4) Rinse, repeat.

Voila! My backlist of unplayed music is rapidly dropping.

You, too, can do this.
