Yes, everyone is get bored to favorite songs. When we have a favorite song, we repeat to listen the song many times. So we are get bored. Simple. Very simple mechanism. Everyone will get bored to favorite songs. So I decided to make my own music player. If using this tool, we will not get bored to our favorite songs forever! How? There is a hint in our everyday life. I'm japanese. I eat rice everyday. Many japanese eat rice everyday. But we are not get bored to rice. Why? We change the flavor by using "Furikake".
