Random Irritations

The ability to have compilations (so the artist remained the main one on the album, so when listing by artist, the sub ones didn't appear) was by only real reason to stick with Apple.

Then Apple killed my ipod, and my new one (battery died about 1 week out of a one year warranty), and my ipad. Afterwhich, I just decided it wasn't that much of an issue, and went all in on Android.
 
I hadn't actually realised what had happened until I thought there were lots of albums missing from my library. Found them all under "various" - basically anything that had any track featuring a guest. I'd assume they can be tidied up but life's too short (so far - maybe the lockdown will see my priorities change)

I’ve got the job of putting all the music Mrs. BiM wants onto an SD card for the new car. She is a huge Rod Stewart fan; first CD is volume 4 of the songbook, 15 tracks across 7 different “albums”. Apparently if you buy it as a download it doesn’t do this, but why do that when you already have the CD?

We have a family Apple music subscription but we have gone from 3 iPhones in the house to just 1. It doesn't matter though as apple music works on android devices as well. I'm fairly new to the whole playlist concept but now I understand it I think it is great.
 
People moaning how old folks don't like change be it dress code, anything, or are alien to the modern world, yet don't complain when old folks are putting themselves out for us all right now.
I didn't hear any complaints about the attire of a certain fine Gent in his collar, tie and suit recently. (Top man BTW)

sounds like time to throw in the towel and go Rich and go Spotify - you can even use my ace playlist "Paul's Best of the Best"!
 
A rude awakening.
The string of a fair sized picture above the bed decided to fail whilst I was sleeping. Plasters now applied, glass removed.
Actually, probably for the "grateful" thread, my better half had gone downstairs a bit back to sort a dog out and was still downstairs thankfully.
 
Pop-up message on my work computer - "Software Center - Your computer is about to restart" with a countdown of 2 hours 36 minute. The pop-up sits on top of every other window permanently, can't be minimised, and the two buttons are 'restart' or 'hide' - the hide button is greyed out and you can't click on it. So my options are restart immediately when I'm half way through doing something, or have this obnoxious pop-up in front of all my other windows so I have to keep moving it out of the way. :mad:

I remember that, very annoying. I had the IT bloke deactivate it pronto
 
Other idiots cycling up the fairway and straight across the green !!

Obviously this is out of order.

More idiots with dogs on the course throwing balls to 'play' fetch.

Is this a problem? As long as owners pick up the dog poo.

Idiots with kids playing with bucket and spades in the Club's bunkers.

This made me laugh, but what's wrong with this?

Nobody is playing golf so does it matter if the bunkers have footprints in them and children are running around the fairways?

But I could have made a sand-save - if it hadn't been for those pesky kids :p
 
Still iTunes. We can now either have all the tracks from one CD in one group but in a compilation folder, or numerous folders all over the place under the artist folder. Management has gone for the option of transferring them as compilations, which means so far that 3 multi disc CDs have been split between 2 different folders.

But apparently resolvable if you pay to download CDs you already own from Apple. ☹️??
 
Electric trimmers breaking down just as I had started and then when being fixed correctly still refusing to get the job done !

after using some magical language and lube .. they worked, allowing me to butcher what hair I have.
