With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

So now that I have this iPod, I'm confronted with the challenge of organizing 1,000 or so songs in such a way that I can easily listen to whatever I want. I've never really given it much thought, since I didn't listen to much music on my computer, but suddenly I find my tiny set of playlists inadequate. It's funny how even with all these tags, it's still tricky to come up with a good organizational system. Maybe it's because my musical tastes are strange, and vary quite a bit with my mood and the alignments of the planets. How do I make playlists when I don't know what I want to listen to?

Basically, I need a musical TiVo that will learn what I like and make playlists on the fly.

Interesting stuff. I wonder how well software like that would cope with my patchy and eclectic library...
