Busy, Busy, Busy
I have trying to get my Amazon Music app to work on Windows machines for about 3 days. It definitely will not work the way I have used it for years after an update on Wednesday that added another rental service. If we had a decent radio station down here I wouldn’t bother, but as classical or classical rock music are not to be found on the local airwaves and it is part of the Prime service I already pay for I will get this miserable beast to stop disappearing every time I restart either of my Windows boxes.
Spent the afternoon with my 6-month doctor’s appointment and helping a friend put up a tent designed for the bed of his pick-up. With instructions written by a 6-grade English class in China and poles that are different colors than those in the instructions, the simple 20 minute job was called after two hours, when he decided to take a tarp to the blue grass festival rather than attempting to put up this tent on arrival. He wanted to spend time listening to music not contemplating the fact that there were green poles instead of orange and there were two pairs of blue poles instead of one.

I understand they play all the kinds of music you like down there on the public airwaves, all three kinds. Country, and western, and Christian. Why would you ever want to listen to anything else? 😉
Apple breaks programs regularly, but only on major updates, and you can wait to update until all the programs you need to run have been updated to the new platform. I’m waiting for VirtualBox to be updated to update to the next release of Mac OS X right now, for example (everything else has already been updated). Apple lets me wait. Microsoft, with Windows 10… nope.
That is a fact. The IOS version works as it always has, but if you pin the Amazon Music program to the taskbar it disappears when you reboot. It will function normally if the use the default desktop shortcut, which annoys the hell out of my somewhat OCD æsthetics.
The local NPR station shifted classical music to a different digital channel that requires a special radio to hear, and use an all news format for their main channel.
I have had Amazon Prime for a long time, but I just recently discovered the Music App which has a lot of free music that I like. I’ve now got several playlists! Classical and other music for doing yoga, one for some blues (if you haven’t downloaded “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone, you should try it out.)
I even did a Janis/Jimi, etc. playlist to do with yoga. Lol. Strangely, yoga becomes very aerobic whenever I use it! Can’t imagine why.
Janis I understand, Jimi? Are you trying to bust something? I can picture “Purple Haze” with a sprained tendon bass line.
It is a very convenient filter for all of the road noise.
