do you actually do that?
it sounds interesting in theory but i find it actually quite impossible to "remember" the satisfaction my favorite gives me so that i can reference it against every other track.
But then again I'm a giant nerd.
I still think I'm pretty nerdy. For example, I made a light for my bike that flashes in Morse: https://github.com/jgrahamc/bikemorse
Now why does that not surprise me at all :)
I think you are in no danger whatsoever of losing your nerd card :)
You choose a class (endurance, strength, or something in between). You have items and skills which you have to skill up individually (barbells, dumb bells, gymnastics equipment, running, cycling, etc.). The same dilemma exists for leveling up: skill points added to one category are skill points you can't add to another category. Thus if you split your time between strength and endurance you will never achieve as much as someone who exclusively trains one of the two.
The skill curve is even similar to that of a well designed RPG: in the beginning you make a lot of gains quickly but eventually you slow to a halt and it takes months to even gain a few skill points in one item/skill.
The gym in real life is like hardcore mode: If you don't play for a while, your skills degrade as a penalty. However, the skill lost as a penalty is easier to reattain then skill you never had.
There are even boss fights and co-op mode if you decide to compete.
There are too many parallels to list them all here, but I think you get the idea.
edit: I do disagree with that statement of the poster to whom you replied, you can still be a pretty big nerd and go to a gym.
Neither is moving pieces on a chess board until you start to obsess over it, read about it in your free time, track your progress as a player, and constantly try and improved yourself as a chess player. No activity is really "intrinsically nerdy" (whatever that means), that's why I said "if you approach it the right way".
What would be a nerdy approach to gym/fitness? Perhaps doing 10 years of research into what's the most efficient way of maintaining fitness and publishing a paper. Or perhaps building your own gym -- on the orbit, and commuting by a rocket of your own design.

Side note: I think we're arguing semantics. If you draw a venn diagram of nerds and geek there would be so much overlap it is hardly practical to differentiate except in the rare instance when an activity falls into one category and not the other (which I don't think is the case here).
You start as a giant nerd going to the gym. Over time, you probably become a smaller nerd, or at least a denser one.
The thing is for something trivial like that, it doesn't actually matter if you remember the satisfaction or not, all that really matters is if you are more satisfied than you think you were with the previous song, accuracy be damned.
