Episode 12 - Best of 2009 part 2

01/01/10

Download the AAC file here. It contains album artwork and chapters for each song for your iPod or Zune player. Just make a playlist and drag the file in. I can't figure out how to make iTunes recognize it as a podcast. Can someone help me with that??

The aim of this podcast is to highlight my favorite music of 2009. I did it again, track 09 is from 2008. Track 35 is technically from 2008 but it was released in the US in 2009.
