What are you listening to Part Two
Yep, a really great album I've been having a heavy Lou Donaldson's jazzy-funky afternoon with these:

What did you do today?
That's what I believed, but for your comment I thought it might be different. Here there are some special sweets for this time depending on the area. They make "huesos de santo" (saint bones) and "panellets" (small cookie-like sweets made of almond flour) for this defuncts day. Tomorrow most Christian believers will go to the cemetery to pay respect to their dead beloved ones. Here there was no tradition of dressing customs, nor going over the neighborhood houses doors asking the trick or treat thing, but kids by seeing it in the movies and TV series, have been doing that for the last 5-10 years. Now they even sell plastic pumpkins at the department stores

What did you do today?
I got my left eye operated when I was 6. I've been wearing glasses since I was about 3 or the like, more than I can remember. I'm 46 now, and I should be thankful for not developing presbyopia earlier (for a longsighted I'm about 6-10 years late). I've always had pretty good vision using glasses (I'm also astigmatic), and those glasses allowed me to have a very wide vision field. I could read just by moving my eyes. I could even drive looking at the sides back mirrors without moving my head. So heaving to move the head just to follow 40-50 cms text lines in the PC screen is a big no-no. I've got very quickly the far-near thing on the top-bottom sides of the lenses, but the width of field focus is extremely annoying. I suppose I can get used to this, but it's kinda trade off. I probably prefer having to use two different glasses and still enjoying my normal wide vision field than having all-in-one, but being "boxed" into a extremely narrow (for me and my usual field of view) one. I'm rather good assuming things that have no alternative, but this one, which can be probably improved just by using 2 different eyeglasses... Anyway, just a bit of ranting Thanks for being there.

Hahahaha, this is very encouraging fellas I'll give these damn things a few days, weeks eventually, and if I can't get used to them, I'll go the old two different sets route. This thing of the very narrow focus area which makes you move the whole head to read wide text lines, is beyond annoying. And these are supposed to be very good offering among the widest focus areas available

Grouper - Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill- AyreWave music player
No worries then If AyreWave adds those features, I'll try it soon. TBH haven't switched on the MBP (my only Mac) for a couple of months. Got tired of iTunes and converting into ALAC.- AyreWave music player
It sounds like Cog was similar to Foobar for Mac, wasn't it? I'd love having that. I've got many old rips made on cue + img which are a pita to convert into ALAC to use them on Mac- What are you listening to Part Two
