I wonder how they picked the setlist.

Feels retro, but still a ~decade newer than when this was state of the art. Some reasonably obscure artists. Thrice and Thursday released a split EP recorded in the Apple stores: I see Thursday but not Thrice here.

Thrice still makes music. Thursday has been quiet for more than a decade.

These are all from iPod commercials

  • It seemed like there are maybe 1000+ songs in there. Were there really that many commercials?

    • Oh, I thought it was more about the first playlist, which is indeed commercials. The rest seemed like the regular top hits. Always wondered how their creative team picked those bands...

Nice to find some 00s electronic classics there like Alter Ego and Âme, that really took me back to my iPod mini days.
