Ever since I bought my NOMAD MuVo^2 I wanted a way to create playlists by genre.  I couldn't find an easy way to do this with Windows Media Player 10, and since the MuVo^2 is treated as a removable drive I was able to easily write a little app. 

I give you Fanzoo's Amazing Genre Playlist Generator!

Ok, I'm not really giving it to you yet, but I will soon.

Speaking of that, does anyone know of a good open source download/file lister gizmo/widget?  I'd like to put some various source code up for people to download, but want a nice way for users to view it.

Also, while creating this little playlist generator I decided to fully unit test it using NUnit and the TestDriven.NET (aka NUnit Addin) plugging for Visual Studio.  I love it.  It seriously beats attaching to the NUnit GUI process to step through your test cases to figure out what's wrong. 

While doing this I thought of something.  It seems that the typical situation I have found is that when a unit test fails, instead of fixing the code that is breaking the test, I end up fixing the test to work with the code.  That's not really the path that is driven home by unit test enthusiasts.  Am I the only  bass aackwards developer who sees this as a pattern, or is this common?
