Since the advent of my Rio Karma I’ve been chewing through tunes at a

phenomenal rate. But before I tell you what I’ve been listening to, here’s a little about the process I’ve set up to archive and transfer digital [...]

An octet of music related links for your cogitation:

“I’m like the guy, the old white man that comes out with a cane who’s all dressed in white with a white beard”. Robotperson hero, Timbaland compares his very bad self to Gandalf on musicthing. Some good info in the comments.
