The iPod Playlist Book Book

With tape decks going the way of Model T's and digital music players reaching stratospheric levels of popularity, yesterday's mix tapes have been replaced by today's burn-it-yourself CDs. However, if you're like many music buffs, sorting through a gargantuan collection of CDs to find just the right tunes to fill out the perfect playlist can be an overwhelming task. To the rescue comes this fun, music-filled guide. Editor Cliff Colby worked with more than two dozen music critics, journalists, radio programmers, DJs, and all-around music enthusiasts to come up with the perfect selection of playlists, ranging from rock, pop, folk, hip hop, punk, Latin music, and opera. Whether you need help burning the perfect mix CD for your iPod-loving friends or inspiration for your own music collection, this compendium of more than 150 essential playlists is certain to satisfy. Organized by genre (punk, blues, roots, and more) and activity (think road trips, cocktail parties, weddings, and luaus), each page includes a playlist and interesting tidbits about that list.
