Go here and follow frgough’s advice. It’s nice to have some new tracks for a change instead of just having my top-played, top-rated, and a few static playlists. I’m hearing stuff I haven’t heard in a long time.
Also I finally bought byLine (http link | itms link), a Google Reader client. I held off because I thought I wanted to have separate views for each feed or tag. It now has a tag view; no feed view but I can live without it. (I’d use the feature if it was built-in)
What really sold me is its built-in browser with Reader controls. This allows you to visit a full web page linked in a feed item, and then star or share it. Safari likes to refresh a tab upon re-entry at seemingly random times (that is, you can be away from a tab for a minute and it won’t refresh when you come back to it, yet be away for 10 seconds at another time and it does refresh). This causes the item I just read to disappear from the listing (because it’s y’know, been read).
I also like how I can swipe an item to mark it read. I can mark a bunch as read leaving a few unread so i could refresh and see just the ones I’m interested in.
