This is a really common problem. At the moment I'm listening to the True
Romance soundtrack and I love tracks 1 and 8 and never listen to anything
else. I know I'm going to hate them eventually so my personal strategy is to
play the entire album through while I'm doing work or whatever, I eventually
find other songs i like that I wouldn't normally have bothered with.
To also combat the problem I keep note of any songs I really like from film
or TV and try to get them, when I do get them I ALWAYS record the entire
album they came on, even if the other stuff looks crap! Why? cause I know If
I only have the single track I'll eventually get to hate it. Hence the
problems with MP3, most people only download the songs the know they want.
Thus the pop charts are about as far as most people go in their quest for
music, and many many many GREAT songs are not getting the audience they
deserve.
Have I strayed off topic??? :)

Same problem, differnt strategy. I keep about 5-7 MDs in my car (I mainly
listen to MD in the car). This set of MDs are swapped with another set of
5-7 MDs each week! In fact, I rotate the discs.
