Favorite Music Habits

• Putting on my headphones and forgetting to turn on iTunes.
• Sticking with the same album over and over again because my iTunes library is too large and I fear choosing a different artist.
• Playing one song from an artist, then pausing it to do something and forgetting to press play.
• Buying an album and forgetting to ever listen to it.
• Listening to actual music.
