Ive just dumped a load of music off my MP3 and loaded on literally a load of 'dodgy at best ' tunes from the 70 – 80 & 90s…
Now I am thinking,
If someone was to 'find' my MP3 player… what would the contents indicate about myself to the new user ?
The contents at present would probably present me as someone nerdy, lacking friends etc…

What would the contents of your MP3's say about you… ?
Do you have some dodgy tunes ?

Someone with extraordinarily wide ranging musical interests and impeccable taste.

My MP3 player has a separate section, named "personal", with excerpts of soundtracks of porn & slasher movies, religious clips (multi-faith, clearly), some extreme political kack, an episode of the Archers from 1995 and 4 or 5 REALLY shit songs

That way nobody needs to worry/wonder

Scaredypants, so the true reflection of your personality is Dario Argento soundtracks, the speeches of Hitler, and the Archers? That has me very worried and perplexed indeed.

Neverfastenuff, worrying about what other people think of your taste in music is deeply, deeply uncool – even more so than being caught singing along to Aqua.

no idea,

entire back catalogues for –

metalica
Pink Floyd
Hilltop Hoods (Oz hip-hop)
swollen members (hip-hop/rock from cannada)
Sweatshop union (cannadian hip-hop)

And a load of more recent popunk stuff

Probably that I'm scruffy and into 'alternative' sports. Not a million miles from the truth.

I don't think that you can make assumptions about a persons whole personality from the music they listen to!

My mp3 player is only 3 gigs and currently has (from the top level folder structure; each folder has at least one album in): 65DaysOfStatic, A Perfect Circle, Chemical Brothers, Cooper Temple Clause, DNB (various tracks), hardcore (various old skool tracks), Human Traffic OST, Juno Reactor, Lisa Mitchell, Marmaduke Duke, Mixes (dnb podcasts and mixes), Paramore, Portishead, Sikth, The Cardigans, and a single Alcorus track.

So what am I?

people may think im alot older than i am … iron maiden – madness – the specials – desmond dekker – metallica – black sabbath -the kinks – the velvet underground – guns and roses

and that i like comedy – dave gormans genius , brian regans comedy central and marcus brigstocke at the apollo

of course there is other more modern stuff on there but the majority is the above.

I picked up an iPod at a party and knew whose it was by the way she dressed.
Apart from that I wonder if you could tell if the ipod belongs to a male or female?

Chvck, you go your own way.. dont follow the herd, a leader maybe ?

anybody picking mine up would think that it either belongs to an older black rasta or a mid 30's ex scooter boy due to the very large amount of ska,dub reggae,mod classics and abit of classic Bob marley, i'll leave you to guess which iam!!! 8)

Well, considering mine goes, quite literally from Abba to ZZTop, via Curve, Zeppelin, Portishead, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Jane's Addiction, Arcade Fire, The Indigo Girls, Steely Dan, Kate Rusby, Julie Fowlis, Goldfrapp, Vampire Weekend, The Monkees, Howling Bells, Mary Hopkin, The Carpenters, 10000 Maniacs, Belly, Florence And The Machine, Peter Gabriel, Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Delgados, R.E.M., The Bangles, Lamb, The Knife, The Stills, Patty Griffin, Bjork, Frank Zappa…
The list goes on.
My tastes are very diverse, one of my very earliest musical recollections is of hearing 'Freight Train', by Nancy Whisky on the radio, the first rock album I bought was King Crimson 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' around the same time I bought Simon and Garfuncle 'Sounds of Silence' on cassette. I just love music, there's only music I like, and music I don't, it's all good.

Dez – interesting point! I guarantee nobody would think mine belonged to a female. A lot of old rock but newer stuff too – Ryan Adams whom I'm in love with 😉

Blimey, I just saw King Crimson mentioned 8)

CountZero, The Boxer is one of my all time fave's.. (Simon&Garfunkel)
