Total songs - 28,412
Sort By Song First Song: "?" - カジヒデキ (That's the name - as on the album - not something some idiot typed on Napster! It's the first listing that isn't the result of a corrupt, missing, or garbled ID3 tag.) Last Song: "黒い扉" - くるり
Sort By Time Shortest Song: "xiexie.mp3" (0:01) Longest Song: "The 2004 Democratic National Convention, Day Four" (1:41:55) Of course, these are not songs, but tracks. The first few pages of the listings are primarily audio samples, and the last (longest) are all audio books or podcasts. It would be interesting to have people note the shortest and longest actual songs, but then there might be a semantic difficulty... which could be fun unto itself! What constitutes a "song"? The shortest possibilities I'd consider are by the 20 to 40 second tracks by the 14-Year-Old Girls; the longest non-classical song probably is by Yes, Pink Floyd, or the like.

I had to do some selective editing, as well, but all within the spirit of the meme. There were a bunch of NSF Nintendo song files that were incorrectly listed as being extremely long for some reason, and I didn't count those. I also didn't count any of the surprisingly plentiful very short sound clips that don't even have proper names. If I don't count the Vietnamese lesson or its ilk for longest, I get the "cover" of Hotel California by Zeek Sheck, which is so far into the avant garde that it might not count as music, either. I only deleted one song from the shuffle, though, and that was a dead file with a meaningless name, so I figure that's okay.
Since you mention 14 Year-old Girls, you do know that Polysics is coming back this Sunday, right?
Whaaah?? Polysics ? By "back", you mean in Santa Fe? I was just now planning my trip to the 20th annual South X Southwest Music Festival next week to see a friend play, and saw that Polysics, She Wants Revenge, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Beastie Boys, Morrissey, Neil Young, and well over a thousand acts I've never heard of, are playing too. I want to see Polysics here too!!

Yeah, Polysics loves Santa Fe, we treat them right. They are coming to the Warehouse 21 this Sunday the 12th. $10, 7pm. Expect a crowd, if the last two times have been any indication.
