Hugo first specified Search by Year so he could listen to tracks that came out while he was at university, but it's not a feature I've really used much. That is, until last night!

We discovered that Search by Year provides an excellent New Years Eve party game - music is selected for a given year and then after half an hour or so everyone has to name the year. OK, so Radio 1 got there first, but it worked pretty well. I guess you need an empeg with a chronologically diverse selection of music - and Roger's player was about as diverse as they get.
