Doofy, Jon of Erstwhile wanted to pass this on:(Quote)---

Well, streaming offers such obvious utility ("Hey, what does <recording> sound like? Let me easily and cheaply find out...") that I would expect few to avoid it.Gp, greg: last.fm bug :-/

I love Ernst Karel's Swiss Mountain Transport Systems on that label.Huh, I know how to reset plays but preserve last-played, but not the reverse! Dunno how to get into that state, Gp.I typically dump that extra stuff, or at least, if it's an "expanded reissue" type of thing, dump the 'versioning' with the old stuff, and maybe keep it with the new additions, if it makes sense to me at the time.

That may have applied in some brief "buy but only while subscribed" period of offerings, but now we pretty much have two modes: owning and streaming.

Assuming you didn't ignore them all, I suppose - I'm always in the market for some decent holiday jazz records.Shoot, did you miss watching "Catastrophe" before quitting?

Heh, bn, I was one of the early listeners enlisted to help determine (vote) order of the tracks on the cd. Larry Ochs sent me my thank-you copy of the cd just a couple days ago. Just checked - I'm thanked on the 2nd-to-last page of the in New & Notable releases Comment by kargatron October 2016"studio-produced cassette tapes" - curious what that means content-wise. Unique recordings that you can't replace otherwise?

A prime example - the pulldown menu to switch between album/song view was terrible - clearly better to have them immediately clickable on the left.

If one uses iTunes, AM is almost certainly the streaming service of choice, and they needn't fear this (purported, horrible) bug if they turn off iCloud.
