\"itunes_image\"<\/a>My latest desktop computer arrived in late 2007, at which point I transitioned all of my music off of my laptop. 2 iPods, 2 iPhones, and an iPad later, that computer is still my main repository of music, with iTunes updating its stats every time I listen to something.<\/p>\n

Having already gone through cassette tapes and CDs, it is now time to look at digital music with the Top 100 songs that I\u2019ve listened to as of 6\/2\/2013, according to iTunes. Today we look at the top 10 songs, all of which are featured on my White Sox playlist that gets used driving home from victories.<\/p>\n
