Kodi just reminded me that this existed, and that it was fun. I want to try it out with one of my classes, but why not revive it here, too? My library has expanded since the last time (whenever that was).
The Rules
You may guess a word. Every day before I go to sleep, I will run the words in my iTunes music library (currently at 8836 items and rising) for matches. Remember that matches come if the word is in any tag (title, artist, album most common, but genre and composer and others count, too).
You get points equal to the number of songs that come up with that word. However, if you get over 100 songs, you "bust" and get 0 points.
Also note, I feel that a post containing only a guess should not count towards Post-A-Day May.

The Phoenix Wright trilogy soundtrack has 4 disks, 3 of which have 34 songs, so it's a bust just having that.
