I like it.

Could be applied to all kinds of stuff. Today I exported the images from a 60 page pdf file, only to find that many of them were broken up into very small sections of the original images- an interesting visual hodge-podge.

Leave it to forge to turn the search function into a creativity tool. I typed "the" into the search and have been listening to the results for 2 weeks straight without any repeats.

If Adonis typed "the shiz" in itunes search it would produce 2,387 tracks.
