I for one have a list of all my discs and use Random.org to create a list of what to listen to.
....
Similarly, I'm now creating a list of played albums - geek-mode super-plus  - largely because my expansion of classical works, often with multiple versions, left me wondering what it was I had played last time, etc. I simply extended the idea to other, non-classical, works.
And the knock-on effect has been, if not force me to choose previously unplayed/not-listed albums, then at least to take this into consideration.
I will choose by scrolling through albums or artists, reading about a score on this forum, a sudden brain-wave ... anything else. But my listing has no doubt pushed me to play many a score I've neglected ... e.g. I've played more Jerry Goldsmith this year than the whole of last year.
Often my wife will choose and queue-up three or four albums from the collection (usually mixing film scores with classical works, rarely easy-listening/vocal albums) leaving me to identify the works. This morning, after I had chosen Love Field, she sequenced up Alfred Newman's Wuthering Heights (Bernstein) ... I struggled for a while as I couldn't get Max Steiner's name out of my head (and yet for some reason I kept thinking of Elmer Bernstein, too) ...
... followed by Boris Tishchenko's Symphony No.7 (Yablonsky) ... I needed a couple of clues! ...
... and now Carlo Rustichelli's Amici Miei ... which I identified with the first or second note!
I wonder what's next ... *
Oh, how I enjoy my music!
Edit: * it's a cello piece ... I'm really going to struggle identifying this one!
