And We're Off!!!

I decided to start this experiment not really knowing what I was in for.  I have 13,149 songs in this iTunes library, and I figured I owed it to the music to actually listen to it all.  I know that some songs and/or albums are in the library more than once, so I'm guessing the true number of songs I'll actually listen to will likely be somewhere in the 12,000 range. 
Using 90 songs per day as an average on 12,000 songs, that means it will take 133.33 days to get through all of them.  However I'm only listening while at work, so instead of it only taking 4.4 months (on a 30 day average), I'm using 20 days per month that I might get through 90 songs per day - which means this experiment will take over six months to complete, and I'm not really factoring time off from work, as well as times when I can't listen into that figure, so it will likely take closer to seven months. Additionally, I'm a big baseball fan and when the playoffs begin I listen to all the games.  That'll slow October down quite a bit.  So I'm in this until at least April, 2011.

 Notes:
Six versions of the same three chords over and over is a bit much.  It took a half-hour to get through all of those to close the day.
