Box Set Go

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This is a question for those of you who buy (or yes ACQUIRE) large amounts of music at once - maybe in the form of a box set, or some kind of big "torrent", or something. I'm especially thinking of things like 4CD sets of country songs, or 8CD Disky box sets - anything with a huge number of not-known-to-you tracks.

My question is - how do you deal with them? Do you have a method for working out what the good stuff is? Do you just listen to them as you would single-artist albums? Do you find that the first five tracks get listened to more than the last five? etc etc.

I convert the entire thing to Mp3s, put them in a big playlist, and just soak it all in, sequentially at first.. while reading the box set liner notes.

If it's more of a collection than an aggregate of complete albums, I'll play 'em all in shuffle thereon.
