Asking this author to implement the history api would probably be easier than us doing it ourselves sad to say.

THIS IS NOT AN EXTENSION CREATED BY NOR ENDORSED BY GOOGLE (Had to say that in big bold letters so the people who follow me hopingwishingdreaming that I give them their big "story" break don't run off breathlessly trying to out scoop one another about this and wind up making themselves looking not so bright in the process.)

That out of the way, I like this little extension for using Google Music. It pops up a little miniplayer so I don't have to keep the browser window open to control my music. Bangorang.

Since it can scrobble, I've resurrected my Last.fm account from the dust and ruins. If you wish to be Last.fm "friends" you may find me here: http://www.last.fm/user/EricaJoy

 
 

Sunday Streets are pretty cool, it helps you to see what things would be like without cars crowding out everything.

Also, consider following Spare the Air, Bay Area if you live in the Bay Area -- you get Google+ events like this and the latest pollution alerts.

Hi John Colburn / Dennis Boehm -- Do you know each other?

Hi John Colburn / Dennis Boehm -- Do you know each other?  In any case I've been pondering how one might take the Spout experience into Google+ via video hangouts and connect with the nascent arts community that's developing here.  There's so much potential to do fun things.

If either of you is interested let me know.

TIL that the Jellybean "What's that Song" widget works with audio from Apps. Working great with TuneIn. Here's a track I grabbed off of Couleur3 Fun.

Has anyone else reripped their entire music collection lately?

Has anyone else reripped their entire music collection lately?

Last time was in 2003 so I had bitrates as low as 96k.  Everything is now 320k mp3 and I'm ready to re-import into Google Music.  Some interesting observations:

- CD ripping must contribute to global warming.

- CDs are heavy ~40 lbs of CDs fitting in .1 m³ (about 3.5 ft³)

- Gracenote/CDDB has declined in quality (album art especially)

- Price stickers bring back memories.  Tower records, FNAC and 32 CHF albums, oh my.

Nice thing is I can better judge the provenance of my collection and correct it.  Just received 3 custom CDs from Twin/Tone including two albums from the late-80s Minneapolis band The Wallets.
