Cool. If you figure out the setting for gapless playback, post it here, per favore. It rarely bugs me, but there’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Lamb Lies Down

Cool. If you figure out the setting for gapless playback, post it here, per favore. It rarely bugs me, but there’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and a few others where it pops up. Not 100% sure I’d change it though. I use those milliseconds to remind myself that it is still an option to thrive in the hedgerows.

  Too bad it’s so early in the world’s day and this thread is sinking. I think you could and should have gotten some great comments. I’d be interested in other related tech, plus the music recommendations of us pioneers, rebels, mutineers, and so forth. (Yes, a poke at Apple ;)

    HN should find a way to counter-balance that. Most successful threads are timezone friendly to the US. Anyway, on your poke at Apple, you reminded me of the 1984 ad. Most people don't know the fine details of the story of it and its meaning. From Wikipedia [0]: > "Let's see—an all-powerful entity blathering on about Unification of Thoughts to an army of soulless drones, only to be brought down by a plucky, Apple-esque underdog. So Big Brother, the villain from Apple's '1984' Mac ad, represented IBM, right? According to the ad's creators, that's not exactly the case. The original concept was to show the fight for the control of computer technology as a struggle of the few against the many, says TBWA/Chiat/Day's Lee Clow. Apple wanted the Mac to symbolize the idea of empowerment, with the ad showcasing the Mac as a tool for combating conformity and asserting originality. What better way to do that than have a striking blonde athlete take a sledgehammer to the face of that ultimate symbol of conformity, Big Brother?"
