Like for example, if i got a lady in the car i hit pin # 69. Very, very easy to remember, and it takes me to all my sexy and good sounding beat songs.

Reminds me of the scene in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", where the suave guy is trying to teach his nerdy friend how to score. He says something like, "and when it comes down to makin' out, put on side one of Led Zeppelin Four." Different era, I guess.

Oh yeah and also, i was wondering. How do others set up there menu for their own personal pleasure?

I really like your solution to numbering the root playlists like you've done. It's a great way both to sort them and to help memorize the PIN numbers. I might just switch to it, since I've been looking for an excuse to try out the PIN features. Great idea.

In the meantime, mine is much simpler than yours. It's just an alphabetical list of artists, with the albums set up as sub-playlists. Then, I have several "specialty" playlists at the root level that combine mixed artists:

Low Key
High Energy
Demo
Test Audio
Filks

Since these would normally be mixed up with the rest of the artists alphabetically, I make sure they come first in the playlist menu by surrounding them with hyphens. Like so:

- Low Key -
- High Energy -
(Etc.)

It's the same trick I used in Win95 to sort items on the Start menu (because you couldn't sort the Start menus until IE4/Win98 came around. I still use it on my NT4 box at work.

It works for me because I only have a few of the specialty playlists, and if I need to get to an artist, I can just use the letter code on the remote from the playlist menu.
