He must have some kind of super power that mere mortals like you and I can only dream of.
Superpower = streamer software that can do single or multiple genres in random mode - gapless. Like listening to radio - only better.
I guess I have developed a short attention span.

Nothing wrong with single tracks but your posts show album covers which may give the impression that you were actually listening to whole albums. Enjoy the music! cool

As I mentioned earlier - I used to post the album jacket with the track number and title below but somebody (I forget who) was annoyed by this and posted something along the lines of: ''why do you keep telling us what track you're playing? etc...''

Maybe next time I'll simply snap a printscreen of the actual playlist as it appears in my browser. That way I'll only have to post once. Hopefully this will ruffle less farty feathers.

I'm very calm and my comment wasn't directed at you. I always try to avoid forum conflict and controversy. I'm here to learn and share.

Peace

I hope my initial comment here didn't come over as nasty, it was just meant to be a light-hearted joke. Having bought music based on your playlists, I appreciate your posting.
