So having put thousands of tracks on my server and have my Sonos setup I decided that I should experiment with random tracks and so set my Sonos to shuffle. Now all was well and good if you find Pearl Jam followed by Bach an interesting combo :-) The problem though was that my music is all recorded at different volumes and I've used a host of different ripping programmes and bought online and so the volumes are all over the place which is a bit distracting. Luckily a wee open source programme called MP3Gain has come to the rescue - mind you it is doing batches at the moment which is taking a while but hopefully this will be almost the last piece of work I need to do in the library. All future MP3s will be checked, tagged, associated with album art volume checked and then entered into the system.
This morning my accounts were audited and flew through scrutiny - not too difficult as I had a professional accountant review them in the first place. I've one more set of accounts to do this year.
It is a bad month already. Yesterday heard about Jim Tuffin's death. A friend known affectionately as Yogi died in March and his funeral is next Tuesday and another friend died on Monday - he had been ill for a while but there you go - it was a great shame and his funeral is when I'm away in Italy. Another friend has been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and he is undergoing Chemo. He though isn't in a great frame of mind about it.
It's hard to believe but we've had flurries of snow again today and it's April for goodness sake!
