After all these years, I have finally come upon my million dollar internet idea, involing iTunes and the Ipod. So, if anyone knows or works with Steve Jobs, please pass along this idea.

Anyways, the idea is based on the fact that one of the great things about iTunes is the ability to download all those guilty pleasure songs you have. The reason, of course, is that because most of your listening is done in private so the only person who hears those guilty pleasures are you. The problem is that sometimes you have friends over who are listening to your music or you have your iPod cranked in the car while you drive. What this means is that every once in awhile, those super-embarassing songs occasionally pop up. While we won't admit to which guilty pleasure song we have, we will have to admit that we have leaved over our coffee table and reached our computer in seconds flat to change a song which would bring endless amounts of hell from friends.

So my idea is for Apple to create some sort of way of hiding all those guilty pleasures. Say creating some sort of code or space on your iTunes where you can put all of your guilty pleasures. When you're alone, you punch in a code and those songs get added to your collection. But when you have the possibility of other people listening to your music collection, you punch another code, or put them somewhere, where those songs will never, ever be played. And not only that, they disappear from your music directory so if somebody were to go through your music list, they will never see those songs.

See-- it's brilliant.
