iTunes Music Quiz
Posted 28-11-2008 at 11:29 PM by tmcd35
Okay, so my sister has asked me to organise a music quiz as a party game this crimbo based on the contents of my infamous iTunes library.
I thought I'd search the net to see if there's a piece of software to help me do this.
Haven't (yet) found what I'm looking for but did find this quiz which I thought would make a good blog entry. Feel free to try the quiz yourself and post your results as a comment

WHen we are sometimes sat in front of the tv, my wife and I will sometimes play 'GUess the tune' with the Top 100 tracks in iTUnes. I play 10 seconds and she gets one point for the artist and one for the name of the song.
Mundane fun LOLOLOL.Posted 01-12-2008 at 07:35 PM by garethedmondson

Thanks Gareth,
We've done that in previous years, but I was looking for something to automate the process. Couldn't find anything. Thinking of coding something up in Applescript to automate the process - but then I think, what about a fontend/GUI and the whole project takes a huge step forward in complexity!Posted 02-12-2008 at 07:34 AM by tmcd35
