IPods and MP3 players have revolutionized the way people listen to music: now it is possible to download individual tracks and create our own playlists. But the vast number of tracks available online can make this a bewildering process.
In the Guardian's popular 'Readers Recommend' column, acclaimed music writer Dorian Lynskey selects 10 tracks from the scores of suggestions readers send in for each week's given theme and compiles them into an idiosyncratic playlist to download. From songs about adolescence to upbeat break-up songs, the playlists range over all genres of popular music, with new tracks recommended alongside classic standards and rare oddities.
The Guardian Book of Playlists brings together the 100 best 'Readers Recommend' columns, with Dorian Lynskey's stylish essay on each theme being followed by a unique playlist, creating an indispensable guide for music fans wondering what they should download next.
