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

I wonder if they'll let users export their data from Ping?  Time to send in the Data Liberation Front...

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.

In my day MTV actually had music and we liked it!

Jake Rudh posted his pick for Video of the Day and it's ALL MTV idents. Seriously, just one after another for six minutes. He explains,

"Leading up to the MTV event at First Avenue this coming Friday night, Transmission simulates an hour of watching classic MTV from (1981 - 1992) this Thursday at 10pm."

Take a break and revisit the astronauts, the cows, and the animation that looks even stranger now.

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.
