i just spent 40 minutes writing about my mp3 collection and deleted it, because it was just stupid. it was inane. it was borderline masterbatory. the main point was, i have too much music to even begin to classify my tastes. the majority of it is electronic music, but that is like 60% of 750 albums, so i am not exactly hurting for other kinds of music. i work off a playlist of my favorite 200 albums or so, the stuff i always want to listen too. i accidentally delete this list about once a month or once every two months, and then have to start over. that is always fun, because my list changes, but during that time, i don't really need to add anything else. my collection has changed so much as my tastes have changed and my disk space has stayed the same, that i am missing a lot of things that were at one point important. i missing a lot of punk, grunge, rap, hip hop, metal, indie, classical, and jazz music that i used to have because i basically ended up deleting whole genres at a time when i hit a new phase in my tastes. hell, you can add house, drum and bass, hardcore, and techno to that list as i weeded my electronic music down to trance. most of it i never listened to anyways, but there are still a lot of things that i am missing. but when i have so much stuff, it is hardly worth the time to go and track it down. i can't keep track of the stuff i have, let alone the hidden gems i deleted wholesale to make space for things i listen too more.

beyond that, my playlist get cycled through. my favorite stuff ends up hovering closer to the bottom, since it is what i listen too the most. everything on that list gets its shot though, eventually. i tend to just pick things that randomly pop out at me when i am scrolling through. in my mind, my tastes consist of the last two albums i listened too. the rest is just a convoluted mass of music i have trouble wrapping my brain around. it is just easier not to think about it :)
