So apparently I have 1686 songs on my computer. I've been thinking I could outdo you by making a list of my 1500 favorite songs of all time...but that just seems ridiculous.
It does, and it would force me to rank songs that I don't even like, and/or have never heard in my "Top 183,000 songs" segment.
