When you expect a song to play after the one that's ending...

[Clippy]

Ever listen to songs in order, like from CDs etc etc, you've played the songs in order for so long....

Then a song comes on the radio and your mind remembers that a certain song is suppose to happen next

BUT IT DOESN'T AND YOU HAVE THIS SENSE OF IN-COMPLETION THAT HURTS

Yes. When I listen to one Nickelback song it just isn't enough, I feel like there is a void because only multiple Nickelback songs will satisfy me.

I used to get really conditioned with record albums because they play one side at a time. I bought a turntable that could play both sides. 8 track tapes split an album into 4 parts leaving some awkward silence or switching tracks while a song was playing. Casette tapes had 2 sides and you had to turn the tape over until they made players that reversed tapes. CDs played the entire album. I have a home CD players that holds 5 CDs on a turntable that can be set to shuffle play mode to play a couple of songs from one CD and move to another.

My experience from listening to radio stations is I'm conditioned to expect a certain song to follow a certain song because the stations do it. They have automated playlists that don't seem to change. Some stations I can tell the day of the week and the time by what songs are being played. Each station has their own group of songs that they play and some more often than others. The country western stations seem to be the worst. I was at a friends house working on his car. In 3 hours there were several songs that they played 4 times.

I've noticed that an I pod, on shuffle play, seems to play songs in a certain order not a random order as I find myself expecting a certain song to follow the one that's playing and it does.

Have a Drink On Me comes in a half second after the abrupt drum that ends Shook me All Night Long on the track listing on Back In Black. I listen for it every time I hear it on the radio.
