Stupid foibles that annoy you but shouldn't

I "This is Sparta" kick the fuck out of it to make sure no germs get me.

Niles Crane more like.

I think Modern Toss were quite apt with that term, because Trench is an absolutely filthy word.

POTD.

Truck Nuts
Possibly ’nutz’

Ok. But where? Because I want both of those things albeit without the trnuts




....unless..?

where? Snapchat for meth but it'll ruin your smile & ability to chew solid food, and it turns out my late granddad's farm was the place to get guns. Was like that hot fuzz scene.

I guess it's what you're used to. I installed Poweramp to play some random bits and pieces locally that I couldn't find on Spotify and that was a horribly jarring UI at first (I still don't really like it in fairness)

Could be worth trying a few alternatives like Tidal to see if you get on any better with that (more emphasis on audio quality and they give a better cut to artists)

Spotify isn't really about albums. You can make it about albums, but it fights you all the way. 

I just wish it had separate 'play next' and 'add to (end of) queue' buttons, which might be what you mean. Otherwise, adding to queue is basically adding the song to the end of the queue, which is what's up next, so not sure how to avoid that, other than adding to a playlist instead. 

Other than that, i'm ok with their UI. Maybe just takes getting used to. Though the fact they change the desktop UI completely about every 6 weeks makes that rather hard. 

Try Apple Music. It picks up the shitty baton from iTunes and runs several laps with it.

Mediamonkey worked as well, I think. But it was probably a hassle and no idea if it'd still work these days.

I too use Spotify but hate the UI.

I think Bill is right, as someone who likes to listens to an album at a time, Spotify isn't great - plus I want original track listings, not all the deluxe versions etc. with crappy demos etc., and I can't be arsed to create my own playlists to replicate that.

I still use an iPod Touch in the traditional way of rip/syncing (love it when Amazon has the autorip thing on purchased CDs or LPs).

It’s a faff (especially as Macs now don’t come with storage worth a hoot and I have to use an external SSD) but there’s nothing like having a really small dedicated device that doesn’t need to be tied to WiFi (thus making the battery last for days) and that doesn’t drain battery from my phone.

Streaming is for background listening at work or discovery - for my own curated stuff I need to have the actual physical release and a copy of a file in an actual physical location.

Nobody understands me anymore
