Bob Thielephant - 'Round Mid-John

Oh! Then you must be familiar with Desi Lulu!

I find her album, “I, Liver Lucy” a bit more cleansing.

The folders? I guess I’ve rarely had any reason to look at the folders. Not sure why I would ever want to, but, OK, I’m happy the “glitch” was cleared up.

It appears where twice? All your homemade disc has to have is, in this case, the ten songs in order and with the correct timings and iTunes just fills in all of the info and shows up in the window - ready to transfer to your library if you want to do this. mjzee: I've never heard of this "bug." Is this something displayed in the iTunes window twice?

The Queen of Whistlers: Nov. 1920 - May 1929 by Margaret McKee

Congratulations! Yes, I will definitely be picking this up - maybe there's a pre-order? I'll check. Also, it's Jon Hendricks, not his brother Geoffrey. I also thought of the "Codex Seraphinianus" too.

ummm... yes, that would generally be true. There is a limit to the volume (thankfully). OK, so what do you mean the album is being split into two or more? Also, when you say "import burned CDs", are you referring to homemade ones that someone created or are you just referring to your everyday store-bought discs. I don't understand the idea that "it's a problem with Apple." What does this mean? I also don't understand what you're referring to as "obvious advice about making everything match." Huh? Maybe I just need to stay out of this conversation because much of it just doesn't make any sense to me. It's not because of my not having these problems - it's that I can't figure out what you're talking about. Again, I would highly suggest that you go on an Apple forum to where they talk specifically about Apple Music/iTunes and tell them what you've said here.

You’re really confusing me with these questions. What happens when you adjust the volume slider? …or when you use the volume controls on your keyboard? …or when you turn up your speakers? ?

?

Because I have a lot of it. That’s not counting the tens of thousands of titles that I have outside of those drives.

Good to hear that it worked for you. Everyone has their different needs and wants and you are probably going to find a number of them satisfied by just checking out drop down menus and the like. I usually don’t have any use for the “column browser” mainly because I don’t really feel the need to fill in genres. if it’s filled in, it more than likely wasn’t filled in by me. The “Contemporary Classical” , for instance, is probably much larger than stated, because there's a whole bunch of tunes that don’t have genres filled in. If you’re devoted to such a thing, it’s probably a good time to start now that you only have 30,000 or so.

Since I don’t have the latest Apple Music, I looked it up and it said the following: “The Songs option can be found in this Sidebar. Select Show Status Bar by clicking on View. The number of songs you have on iTunes will be displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. From the same screen, you can see how much space songs consume, as well as their duration.” Apparently, I also have a “status bar”, (see above) but I’ve never shut it off in 22 years!

Been waiting decades for this. I thought that it was probably tied up in legal battles and that I'd never see this released during my lifetime.. After Bob ❤️ Abishola tonight...

NRG 1 is the first album in a new series from London based drummer/producer, Chiminyo, in which he and members of his musical community exchange (strictly improvised) NRG with audiences and capture the spontaneous beauty to be shared with the world. NRG 1 features an all-star line-up (band members of Jorja Smith, Nubyan Twist, Gary Bartz, Nightmares on Wax, Yussef Kamaal) and you can really feel the vibrant NRG of the capital pulsating throughout. Tunes like ‘Raze’ and ‘Purple/Green’ and their whirling, high octane, jungle/brokenbeat aesthetic are balanced beautifully by tunes like the smooth, sexy, R&B anthem ‘SLK’ and the downtempo, ambient, latin-house ‘Eleguá’, a Yoruba prayer, led by trumpet player Yelfris Valdés, cleansing the room and bringing positive vibes to the band and the audience.

Yes, to looking at the bottom of the window for total info: but, you don't have to go to the trouble of making genre playlists. Just go to VIEW > COLUMN BROWSER and just show it. When it opens, it shows all of your genres where if you click on one of genres, it'll show you info like: how many artists, how many albums, and the bottom of the window will show you the total items and time, size... In the bottom graphic, for instance, you can see the amount of "Contemporary Classical" that I currently have: 1128 artists - 1442 albums - 12,569 tunes - almost 69 days - 215+GB ... Plus: you can go even deeper by clicking on an artist while you're in the genre and it will show you, for example, how many albums you have from them.

I have a kind of automatic order situation with a wonderful label called "Edition Omega Point." This means that I get every new release (and the limited edition versions) of anything on their "Experimental Music of Japan" series (up to 13 volumes) and their "Obscure Tape Music of Japan" series (28 volumes). A friend of mine in Japan who's a wonderful baritone, is devoted to contemporary Japanese composers and is friends with a few of them and we were recently mourning the recent death of Yori-Aki Matsudaira who's also a very fine composer. Lots of wonderful things out there that you can easily get lost in. Agree on Minoru Miki and the great Joji Yuasa. My intro to Takemitsu was back in 1969 when a local DJ played his "Vocalism Ai" on the radio and I had to have it and I haven't looked back since. To create that piece, he had recorded over 20 hours of vocals to create a 4 minute work. I've always wondered what ever happened to those tapes with the raw recordings. About 20 years ago, I bought a set of his complete works that ran to nearly 60 discs comprising 5 large volumes. Really beautifully presented with great sound. If you could find it these days, it would cost over $2000, I'm pretty sure.

{666 replies} Franz Guzman - Duck Duck Guz Franz Guzman's "Duck Duck Guz" is a stunning album that showcases the artist's versatility and creativity. From the catchy beats of "Quack Attack" to the introspective lyrics of "Pond Reflections," every track is a masterpiece. Guzman's unique blend of hip hop, jazz, and electronic music creates a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates innovative and boundary-pushing music. A quackerbox of fun! - Sal Magundi - seasoned reviewer

Yonin No Kaï were an ensemble that was sometimes interested in performing modern classical works using traditional Japanese instrumentation. They have wonderful recordings on Ocora that're worth checking out. Two of the works on that album are from Michio Mamiya who used to favor 12-tone techniques mixed with traditional instrumentation, but later concentrated on scoring films - mostly animated I think. I think he's still alive, tho in his 90s. Ryuta Ito - the other composer - on the other hand, was more interested in dividing his time between music and medicine. I don't believe he's still alive. On Wednesday's radio show, I featured unusual modern Japanese music. Instead of modern classical, it was more J-Pop, Shibuya-Kei, Kawaii, Chiptune, Toy-Tronica, and some other things mixed up in there too, but there are some mighty wonderful contemporary classical Japanese works out there. I'd start with the "Nirvana Symphony" from Mayuzumi.
