Something for Mr. greyrat.

And something for Mr. cam.

Headed over to the Post Office to overnight my bros' family's gifts and while I was out, decided to stop at the local used CD place to get a few new things for my new MuVo. Since I didn't take my list with me, I had to guess. How did I do?

Cowboy Junkies: Long Journey Home (Live in Liverpool)
Pietasters: Strapped Live!
Meat Puppets: Golden Lies
Euphoria: Beautiful My Child
Carbon Leaf: Indian Summer

The Meat Puppets CD came with some extras. I opened it and otu came two tickets to a Meat Puppets show at 608 Somerville Ave which Google tells me is Lilli's. I've never heard of Lilli's, so I doubt it's around any more. The tickets are for Feb 10, 2001. There's also a newspaper clipping (from the Phoenix, I think) with a review fo the album by Brett Milano titled "Alterna-alterna: The Meat Puppets Rage On".

Some poor soul probably got religion and sold his CD collection.

MuVo questions
Okay, I got this thing and I like it, mostly. The ear buds don't really fit my ears, so those may have to change, but other than that, it's good.

I don't quite understand how the songs are laid out on the drive, though. I've read through the manual, and it's most unclear.

It says there are several directories on the disk (and there are). The relevant ones are "Library A", "Library B", "Library C". Those, together with the root, are the four directories that can contain music. However, when I used Winamp to copy the music over to the MuVo, it copied over the directories as well, so I have many directories under the root with names like
($root)Yoshida Brothers/Yoshida Brothers II$filename.mp3

All of these play fine. The manual also says there can be only 500 songs in each of these four (root, A, B, C) directories. So, I have no idea what's going on here. If there can be only four directories, how come I have bunches? I do suspect that the "shuffle" will only shuffle within a directory, though.

Also, 2GB fills up quicker than you'd think.

Went for dinner at Cottonwood Cafe last night. I had the mixed grill. It was yummy. I also really liked our waitress. She giggled. When was the last time you saw a waitress giggle?

Update [2006-12-21 14:55:11 by ad hoc]: I just found The Pietasters have some music on their site. *HEY 256!* Did you ever sing for the Pietasters?
